COVID-19 salgınıyla mücadelede en önemli şey davranış değişikliğiydi. İnsanları maske takmaya, fiziksel mesafeye dikkat etmeye ikna etmeniz gerekiyordu. Ancak davranış değişikliği konusunda esas söyleyecek sözü olanlara bilim kurullarında yer verilmedi. Doğrudan sosyal psikolojinin alanına giren bir konuda hiçbir sosyal psikoloğun sürece dahil edilmemesi bence büyük bir hataydı. Bu bölümde, hocalarımıza "Siz kurulda olsaydınız ne derdiniz, ne yorumlar yapardınız?" diye sordum.Konuklar:Nebi SümerAdil SarıbayDoğan KökdemirSerap AkfıratBeyza TepeOnurcan Yılmaz
