    Abstract: Human behaviour is challenging to explain, and testing times like COVID-19 adds another layer of complexity. Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the current paper traces a path model to understand how declared behaviour was impacted during the pandemic in Germany and Sweden. This study applies Response Time Testing which reduces cognitive biases of self-reporting-based surveys. Results show that attitude and intentions form central elements impacting declared behaviour. Perceived threat has a high impact on declared behaviour both directly and indirectly via attitude. Thus, political decision-makers need to take attitude into account when designing effective communication to influence behaviour.
