摘要：随着人类社会面临日益频发且有影响力的冲击和扰动，韧性（Resilience）越来越受到学界的关注。本文研究试图揭示乡村人口如何构建应对新冠疫情的韧性。本文提出了一个简明的理论模型来解析乡村人口知识获取与预防行为的决定性因素。基于拉丁美洲10,583名成年人口的电话调查数据，本文研究发现：农村居民利用非正式渠道（如互联网）收集新冠信息的能力较差。相较于老年人群，年轻一代针对新冠疫情采取预防行为的概率较低，而且年龄的差异对乡村人口而言并不显著。高成本的预防措施（如居家防疫）对于农村居民来说是难以负担的。与此同时，公众对政府的信心能够确保居民更好地遵守公共卫生准则。作者认为，互联网技能的提升、亲社会性人格的培育和政治信心的建设在新冠大流行期间对构建农村居民的个体韧性是十分必要的。

Abstract: The concept of resilience gains prominence as human society faces more frequent and impactful shocks and disturbances. This study seeks to investigate how rural populations build resilience amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A simple theoretical model is presented to illustrate the determinants of knowledge acquisition and precautionary behaviors among rural residents. Based on a High Frequency Phone Survey of 10,583 Latin American adults, this study found that rural residents were less capable of using informal channels (e.g., the internet) to collect COVID-19 information. Younger generations were generally less likely to adopt precautionary behaviors than the elderly. The age disparity, however, was relatively minor for rural populations. Costly preventive measures such as staying at home are less affordable for rural residents. Meanwhile, confidence in government ensures better compliance to ensure public health guidelines. We argue that internet skills, prosociality, and political confidence are necessary to build rural residents' resilience during the pandemic.
