Abstract Background The COVID‐19 pandemic, caused by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus, has resulted in illness, deaths and societal disruption on a global scale. Societies have implemented various control measures to reduce transmission of virus mitigate its impact. Individual behavioural changes are crucial successful implementation these measures. One commonly recommended measure limit risk infection is distancing. It important identify those factors that can predict uptake maintenance Objectives We aimed synthesise evidence malleable psychological psychosocial determine adherence distancing at reducing or COVID‐19. Search Methods searched literature sources including electronic databases (Medline ALL, Child Development & Adolescent Studies, ERIC, PsycInfo, CINAHL Web Science), web searches, conference proceedings, government reports, other repositories grey literature. search strategy was built around three concepts interest (1) context (terms relating COVID‐19), (2) behaviour (3) terms related determinants Health‐Related Behaviours compliance with distancing, capture determines. Searches studies up until October 2021. Selection Criteria Eligibility criteria included observational (both retrospective prospective) experimental report (social and/or physical) an individual level, amongst general public. defined physical as, maintaining distance from others when physically present. And social being minimising contact outside your own household. Screening supported Cochrane Crowd. Studies' titles abstracts were screened against eligibility independent screeners. Following this, all potentially relevant full‐text level research team. All conflicts between screeners resolved discussion core Data Collection Analysis data extraction managed EPPI‐Reviewer software. eligible studies, identified through screening extracted one author. study information, population, determinant, effects. A second author checked 20% papers. discussed two authors consensus reached. assessed methodological quality using adapted version Joanna Briggs Institute Quality appraisal tool. Main Results total 91 suitable for inclusion review, representing 199,604 participants. vast majority had samples public, 15 focusing specific samples. participants over 18 years old, 5 reporting ages (adolescents adults 65). 29 rated as unclear, 48 low, 14 high bias, predominately due lack recruitment, sample characteristics methodology.
