Understanding Noncompliance with COVID-19 Containment Measures: Factors,
Manifestations and Effects

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in March 2020, one of the issues
that have attracted significant attention within the academic community is
individual compliance with containment measures. Indeed, the highly
contagious nature of the virus and states’ inaptitude to enforce lockdowns
for long periods, rendered citizens’ voluntary adherence to preventive
policies crucial for slowing down the spread of the pandemic and reducing
casualties. Then again, while the study of compliance with COVID-19
mitigation measures has seen a tremendous increase the last years, less is
known about the factors, manifestations and effects of noncompliance. In
fact, within the relevant literature, noncompliance with COVID-19 measures
is often treated as merely the opposite of compliance, while noncompliers
are regularly marginalised as a homogenous mass recognised interchangeably
as sceptics, deniers or dissidents.

This Research Topic aims to fill this research lacuna by identifying the
basic characteristics and the diverse forms that noncompliance with
COVID-19 containment measures has taken, through the collection of a number
of theoretical or empirical submissions on the factors, manifestations and
effects of noncompliance through the use of quantitative, qualitative or
mixed-methods designs. We would welcome contributions from representative
and non-representative samples that come from either the general population
or particular social groups. Furthermore, we would favour the inclusion of
under-represented samples in the submitted manuscripts or the studies
performed in countries, where social sciences are not well-represented.

Possible contributions cover issues that include (but are not limited to):

• What are the main characteristics of noncompliance with COVID-19
containment measures?
• What are the different types of noncompliers? How similar or different
are they?
• What are the political, social and/or psychological differences between
sceptics, deniers or dissidents?
• What are the political, social, psychological, cultural and/or structural
factors that facilitate noncompliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures?
• How are different kind of factors (e.g., political and psychological)
interact to bring about noncompliance?
• Does political ideology play a role in noncompliant behaviour?
• What are the different forms that noncompliance takes?
• What are the attitudes/behaviours that characterise anti-restriction
individuals?
• What is the sociopolitical and psychological profile of anti-COVID-19
protesters?
• To what extent exposure to misinformation, fake news and conspiracy
theories is linked with noncompliance?
