In managing this crisis, there are many unpredictable factors, such as the mutations of the virus and the production and delivery of vaccines, which are difficult for us to control. Yet we - the government and citizens - have our fate in our own hands. After all, we have control over the key factor in keeping the situation under control: our behaviour.
But that's exactly where the problem lies. The latest figures from the motivation barometer show that we are following the measures less and less (see figure 1). This decline was to be expected based on the erosion of motivational support at the end of January (see report #21). But there is more to it. The lack of a consistent motivational and behavioral support policy may well ensure that the third wave, which has been the subject of concern for weeks, will actually occur. What factors can explain the continued decline in motivation and how can we turn the tide?
