概括
纳奇理论可以减少学生住房的公用事业消耗. 没有奖项的竞争被证明是有效的,而仅仅是信息却会导致使用量意外增加,这表明内在的动机是可持续习惯的关键.
科学领域:
- 环境心理学 环境心理学
- 行为经济学是一种行为经济学.
- 可持续能源 可持续能源
背景情况:
- 建筑行业对全球能源使用做出了重大贡献,需要为可持续行为制定具有成本效益的战略.
- 学生住宿提供了一个独特的环境来研究行为干预,因为它的短暂和密集的性质.
研究的目的:
- 调查信息和基于竞争的推动措施在减少学生住宿的公用事业消费方面的有效性.
- 探索有奖项和没有奖项的竞争对能源使用的差异性影响.
主要方法:
- 在六个建筑物中使用了准实验性的设计,分为控制,仅供信息,没有奖品的竞争和有奖品组的竞争.
- 一种纵向方法检查了多年的能源使用情况,以控制诸如占用率和季节性等外部因素.
主要成果:
- 在某些情况下,信息推动意外增加了能源消耗,可能是由于反弹效应或道德许可.

Energy Budgets
10.6K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation
10.5K
Applying the conservation of energy principle or the work-energy theorem to an incompressible, inviscid fluid in laminar, steady, irrotational flow leads to Bernoulli's equation. It states that the sum of the fluid pressure, potential, and kinetic energy per unit volume is constant along a streamline.
All the terms in the equation have the dimension of energy per unit volume. The kinetic energy per unit volume is called the kinetic energy density, and the potential energy per unit volume is...

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
