The interplay between strictness of policies and individuals’ self-regulatory efforts: associations with handwashing during the COVID-19 pandemicCOVID-19Cross-countryHAPAPandemicPolicies© The Author(s) 2021.

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (https://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted reuse, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.Background: Patterns of protective health behaviors, such as handwashing and sanitizing during the COVID-19 pandemic, may be predicted by macro-level variables, such as regulations specified by public health policies. Health behavior patterns may also be predicted by micro-level variables, such as self-regulatory cognitions specified by health behavior models, including the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA). Purpose: This study explored whether strictness of containment and health policies was related to handwashing adherence and whether such associations were mediated by HAPA-specified self-regulatory cognitions. Methods: The study (NCT04367337) was conducted among 1,256 adults from Australia, Canada, China, France, Gambia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, and Switzerland. Self-report data on cross-situational handwashing adherence were collected using an online survey at two time points, 4 weeks apart. Values of the index of strictness of containment and health policies, obtained from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker database, were retrieved twice for each country (1 week prior to individual data collection). Results: Across countries and time, levels of handwashing adherence and strictness of policies were high. Path analysis indicated that stricter containment and health policies were indirectly related to lower handwashing adherence via lower self-efficacy and self-monitoring. Less strict policies were indirectly related to higher handwashing adherence via higher self-efficacy and self-monitoring. Conclusions: When policies are less strict, exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus might be higher, triggering more self-regulation and, consequently, more handwashing adherence. Very strict policies may need to be accompanied by enhanced information dissemination or psychosocial interventions to ensure appropriate levels of self-regulation.The study was supported by grant number 2020/01/0/HS6/00059 from the National Science Centre, Poland, awarded to Aleksandra LuszczynskaOxford University PressRepositório da Universidade de LisboaLuszczynska, AleksandraSzczuka, ZofiaAbraham, CharlesBaban, AdrianaBrooks, SydneyCipolletta, SabrinaDanso, EbrimaDombrowski, Stephan U.Gan, YiqunGaspar, TaniaMatos, Margarida Gaspar deGriva, KonstadinaJongenelis, Michelle I.Keller, JanKnoll, NinaMa, JinjinMiah, Mohammad Adbdul AwalMorgan, KarenPeraud, WilliamQuintard, BrunoShah, VishnaSchenkel, KonstantinScholz, UrteSchwarzer, RalfSiwa, MariaTaut, DianaTomaino, Silvia C.
