In this Wednesday. Oct. 13, 2021, file photo, audience members gather during a meeting of New Hampshire's Executive Council in Concord, N.H. Republicans in New Hampshire are struggling to contain a wing of their party that is promoting conspiracy views around the Covid-19 vaccine and pushing back, sometimes aggressively, regarding federal mandates to get the shot.
With all of the legal maneuvering and political posturing taking place one important question remains: How effective are mandates for changing or impacting behavior?
A recent University of Pennsylvania study researched this very issue and found that mandates do, in fact, work.
Professor Dolores Albarracin, Ph.D., is a social psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania and the lead study author. She will appear on Smart Talk Tuesday to share details of their findings.
