Informational nudges or incentives? A field experiment on vegetarian choices
Food production and consumption are primary contributors to climate change. There is growing interest in behavioral interventions aimed at reducing emissions by promoting vegetarian choices. This pre-registered field experiment assesses the (relative) effectiveness of an informational nudge, a price intervention, and their combination on consumers' choices between meat-based and vegetarian food options. We analyze actual food choices at a public …
Perceived plasticity of climate-relevant behaviors and policy support among high- and lower-income individuals
Surveys in four countries reveal diverse patterns in perceived behavioral plasticity. • Results highlight the context-dependence of climate behavior feasibility. • Links individual behavior change potential to support for climate policy. • High-income individuals show stronger links between plasticity and policy support. Widespread behavior change is essential for mitigating climate change. This study explores how country and income differences a…
Mitigating Climate Change via the Demand Side and Behavioral Insights
Applying behavioral insights for climate-change mitigation has both potential and pitfalls. Drawing upon IPCC insights on the potential of demand-side mitigation of various sectors, actors, and regions, three arguments address the role of the behavioral sciences. First, behavioral insights have heterogeneous effects, rendering the question of their average contribution meaningless. Second, many effects from behavioral science are found outside of…
Underestimation of personal carbon footprint inequality in four diverse countries
Extensive research highlights global and within-country inequality in personal carbon footprints. However, the extent to which people are aware of these inequalities remains unclear. Here we use an online survey distributed across four diverse countries: Denmark, India, Nigeria and the USA, to show widespread underestimation of carbon footprint inequality, irrespective of participants’ country and income segment. Of the 4,003 participants, within…

Is dietary goal failure associated with goal-supportive policy attitudes
To improve public health and promote environmental sustainability, widespread dietary changes are necessary in high-income countries. However, adopting and maintaining dietary goals is challenging and requires repeated self-regulation. Effective public policies can facilitate healthy food choices and reduce the likelihood of goal failure. This study examines the relationship between individuals’ dietary goal failures and their acceptance of publi…

Healthy eating in the wild
Across many parts of the world, people increasingly eat out-of-home. Simultaneously, many people strive to eat a healthier diet, but it remains unclear to what extent and how eating out helps or hinders people in achieving their dietary goals. The present study investigated how characteristics of the physical micro-environment in out-of-home food outlets (e.g., cafeterias, supermarkets, and restaurants) influence the healthiness of food choices a…
Transdisciplinary participatory-action-research from questions to actionable knowledge for sustainable viticulture development
Viticulture negatively impacts the environment, biodiversity, and human health; however, despite the widely acknowledged challenges that this intensive agricultural activity poses to sustainable development, measures to reduce its invasiveness are constantly being deferred or rebuffed. Constraints to change are linked to vine cultivation methods, the impacts of climate change on vine resilience and disease sensitivity, and socio-economic models, …

The Merits of Goal Support as a Self-Control Strategy
In the present study, we investigated the influence of the presence of others and goal support on the performance of goal-directed behavior across different levels of self-control. Our analysis included survey data from 3,972 respondents across four countries. The results of the analysis revealed four important findings. First, high goal support increased the performance of goal-directed behavior when in the presence of others during decision-mak…
