Saving the world voluntarily: Experimental evidence of gain-loss framing on voluntary pro-environmental behavior
通过在线实验（N=897）研究得失框架对自愿环保行为的影响，发现损失框架下工作努力程度略高但效果较小且边缘显著，且对内在环保动机高低者影响一致。
Empirical research shows that loss framing appears to be a promising tool to promote pro-environmental behavior. However, only a limited amount of experimental research has examined the effect of loss framing on actual behavior. Here, we use a variation of the Work for Environmental Protection Task (Lange & Dewitte, 2022) to study voluntary pro-environmental behavior. In an online experiment (N = 897), we find a trend of higher working efforts in the LOSS frame. However, this effect is small and marginally statistically significant. Interestingly, as explorative analyses suggest, the effect of loss framing is consistent for people with low and high intrinsic values to protect the environment.
