Construction de systèmes de croyances et controverses autour du Covid-19

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic saw the emergence of public opinion in the public health decision that often was strongly contested. Relying on both recent work in behavioral psychology and psycho-sociology, as well as on the theory of ambiguity, this contribution attempts to analyze the reasons for this doubt. Two types of patients will be distinguished, ?analytical? and ?intuitive?, to explain the choices for a given action. This a priori distinction is not sufficient to explain the choices of a given type because the degree of aversion to ambiguity and the attitude towards ambiguity can modify the latter. It is in fact the belief in the capacity of one treatment to heal in relation to another that proves to be fundamental in determining the choice for one of them.
