Securing the grid or the planet? The impact of dynamic norms on electricity saving preferences University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland Dynamic social norms have recently emerged as a promising approach to promoting energy-saving behavior. While static norms emphasize prevalent behaviors, dynamic norms focus on behavioral change over time. However, existing studies predominantly examine behavioral outcomes, neglecting the processes and trade-offs underlying responses to norm information. Furthermore, the role of the factors driving dynamic norms remains unexplored. This study employs a discrete choice experiment (DCE) and a randomized control trial (RCT) to address these gaps, finding that dynamic norms driven by climate change enhance preferences for electricity savings, whereas those driven by energy supply security do not. Further analysis of effect heterogeneity highlights the pivotal role of individuals' ascription of responsibility. | |
