Why are some people so against wearing a facemask?
Arroll continues: “This classic psychological theory states that aspects of our identity arise from the groups which people are, or want to be, a part of. Therefore, if we observe members of a desired group not wearing face masks, we may replicate this in order to be seen as part of this group – for instance a powerful political leader.
“This however shows the strength of our need to be part of a group as social animals – not wearing a mask shows a sign of solidarity, a stand against authority that is perceived as taking away essential freedoms, whereas wearing one can be viewed as an act of altruism to protect others. These are deep-seated psychological drivers and why the decision ‘to wear or not to wear’ face coverings has become such an emotive issue.
