摘要

There is a notable gap in research applying criminological theory to the examination of deviant behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study addresses this gap by utilizing Situational Action Theory (SAT) to investigate violations of social hygiene ordinances during a COVID-19 lockdown in Iran. The study is based on survey data collected from a sample of 396 university students across 10 universities in Rasht, Iran. The findings support SAT, demonstrating the relevance of its four theoretical components: personal morality, situational morality, self-control, and perceptual deterrence. Additionally, the study reveals significant multiplicative interactions between criminal propensity, criminal exposure, perceptions of action alternatives, and the process of choice. These factors were significantly linked to COVID-19 related misbehavior, offering valuable insights into individual decision-making processes when faced with criminogenic and health-related dilemmas.
