| [CLAIM] | |
| Nations with efficient governments and tight cultures have been most effectiveat limiting COVID-19’s infection rate and mortality likelihood (a significant interaction betweentightness and efficiency, b = -.17, SE = .07, t(41) = -2.23, p = .031). | |
| [HYPOTHESIS] | |
| The interaction between cultural tightness and government efficiency will be negative in its association with the COVID-19 infection rate. |
