Positive and negative spillover of pro-environmental behavior: An integrative review and theoretical framework (2014, background): “Public commitments are commonly used in environmental interventions, and meta-analytic analyses suggest that they can be an effective strategy for motivating behavior change (Abrahamse et al., 2005; Lokhorst et al., 2013).”
The impact of peer network position on electricity consumption in building occupant networks utilizing energy feedback systems (2012, neutral): “corresponding energy savings [7,12-17].”
The influences of financial and non-financial factors on energy-saving behaviour: A field experiment in Japan (2013, background): “…campaigns, goal setting, feedback, comparative feedback and reward (Winett et al., 1978; Becker, 1978; McClelland and Cook, 1980; Midden et al., 1983; Brandon and Lewis, 1999; Abrahamse et al., 2005; Darby, 2006; Abrahamse et al., 2007; Petersen et al., 2007; Ehrhardt et al., 2010; Allcott, 2011b).”

Energy saving behaviours: Development of a practice-based model (2013, background): “As suggested by the literature, information and education campaigns should be targeted and personalised to cater for individual contexts (Abrahamse et al., 2005).”
Empowering interventions to promote sustainable lifestyles: Testing the habit discontinuity hypothesis in a field experiment (2016, background): “Finally, interventions may be more effective when these are carried forward by groups or communities which generate social support (e.g., Abrahamse et al., 2005; Staats, Harland, & Wilke, 2004; Weenig & Midden, 1991).”
