METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out 10 days after the nationwide lockdown (from March 27th to March 29th 2020), among a representative sample of the mainland French population aged 18 and over. A quota sampling method was applied to achieve a sample of 1012 respondents. We used a cluster analysis to obtain contrasted attitudinal profiles, and logistic regressions to investigated which factors were associated to these profiles.
RESULTS: After 10 days of lockdown, there were already significant consequences regarding respondents\' living conditions and mental health. Most respondents supported the current lockdown. However, it appeared as a stopgap measure due to a lack of alternatives, and a large majority acknowledged its heavy drawbacks. We found three contrasted attitudinal profiles: full support (38%), strong but critical support (31%), limited support (31%). Regarding respondents\' SES, low-income and low-education respondents were more likely to display critical or limited support to the lockdown, as well as those who reported deteriorated living conditions or psychological distress.
CONCLUSIONS: In France, the large public support to the lockdown was fragile. First, it was a critical consensus anchored in current controversies and recent social struggles. Second, it was weaker among people with a lows SES, especially since the lockdown have exacerbated preexisting social inequalities.
方法:在全国封锁后10天(从2020年3月27日至3月29日)进行了一项横断面在线调查,在18岁及以上的法国大陆人口的代表性样本中。采用配额抽样方法,获得了1012名受访者的样本。我们使用聚类分析来获得对比的态度概况,和逻辑回归来调查哪些因素与这些概况相关。
结果:封锁10天后,已经对受访者的生活条件和心理健康产生了重大影响。大多数受访者支持当前的封锁。然而,由于缺乏替代方案,它似乎是权宜之计,绝大多数人承认它的严重缺点。我们发现了三个截然不同的态度:全力支持(38%),强大但关键的支持(31%),有限支持(31%)。关于受访者的SES,低收入和低教育程度的受访者更有可能对封锁提供关键或有限的支持,以及那些报告生活条件恶化或心理困扰的人。
结论:在法国,公众对封锁的大力支持是脆弱的。首先,这是植根于当前争议和最近社会斗争的重要共识。第二,在SES较低的人群中,特别是自从封锁加剧了先前存在的社会不平等。
