Abstract
Abstract An experiment tested whether user-generated pro-environmental messages (UGC) enhanced environmental self-identity among message creators. Participants were randomly assigned to create a message about saving energy, view a message with similar content ostensibly created by similar others, or view irrelevant messages. Those who created their own messages had greater post-message self-identity than those in the other two conditions. Additionally, those who created their own messages had greater post-message intentions to save energy in the near future than those in the other two conditions, and behavioral intentions were positively correlated with self-identity. Implications for campaigns and educational efforts are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Applied Artificial Intelligence addresses concerns in applied research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of AI research. Articles highlight advances in uses of AI systems for solving tasks in management, industry, engineering, administration, and education; evaluations of existing AI systems and tools, emphasizing comparative studies and user experiences; and the economic, social, and cultural impacts of AI. Papers on key applications, highlighting methods, time schedules, person-months needed, and other relevant material are welcome.
