Few and far between
Varying effect sizes and inconsistent findings signal the need for a better understanding of the causal pathways through which interventions in the field of household energy saving operate. Hence, we conducted a scoping review of the mechanistic claims related to the observed effects of behavioural interventions in the domain. We reviewed the available publication pool to record and categorise the evidence used to support these claims and then ma…
Boosting vs. nudging sustainable energy consumption
Boosts and nudges are two separate types of behavioral public policies, distinguished by the mechanisms through which they operate. We investigated whether this theoretical distinction translates into different effects when instances of these policy types are implemented in the context of energy consumption. In a long-term field randomized controlled trial, we competitively tested boosts against nudges. We found that boosts outperform nudges thro…
The Psychology of Morality
We review empirical research on (social) psychology of morality to identify which issues and relations are well documented by existing data and which areas of inquiry are in need of further empirical evidence. An electronic literature search yielded a total of 1,278 relevant research articles published from 1940 through 2017. These were subjected to expert content analysis and standardized bibliometric analysis to classify research questions and …
Transparency effects on policy compliance
From an ethical standpoint, transparency is an essential requirement in public policy-making. Ideally, policy-makers are transparent and actively disclose the presence, purpose and means of a decision aid. From a practical point of view, however, transparency has been discussed as reducing the effectiveness of decision aids. In the present paper, we elaborate on how transparency affects the effectiveness of defaults. In three experiments, we mani…
