From attitude to satisfaction: introducing the travel mode choice cycle (2021, positive): “Previous studies have indicated that a change in the residential context (due to a residential relocation) can be e ﬀ ective in changing travel intentions (Bamberg, 2006; Verplanken, Walker, Davis, & Jurasek, 2008).”
Habit formation and change (2018, background): “The intervention was more effective for those who had relocated with the last 3 months (see also [42,53,54]).”
Consumers and their behavior: state of the art in behavioral science supporting use phase modeling in LCA and ecodesign (2016, background): “For example, several studies have found that people are more likely to establish new behavior patterns after moving to a new environment (Bamberg 2006; Dolnicar and Grun 2009; Walker et al. 2014).”
Can Heterogeneity Among Individuals and Contexts/ Environments Be Harvested for Improved Sustainable Management? (2009, background): “Only 1 study out of the 17 reviewed investigates different contexts: Bamberg (2006), who discusses changes in public transport use when individuals move to a new location, found that a particular intervention (a free public transport ticket and individual schedule recommendation) was effective in…”
What cognitive mechanisms predict travel mode choice? A systematic review with meta-analysis (2017, background): “…attitudes towards non-car-use travel, some studies concentrated only on one mode such as train travel (Verplanken et al., 1994) or PT in general (Nilsson & Kuller, 2000), while others measured attitudes towards using PT instead of the car (Bamberg, 2006; Matthies, Klöckner, & Preissner, 2006).”
Old Habits Die Hard (2015, neutral): “These discontinuities can be planned (or, at least, pre-announced), such as moving home (Bamberg, 2006; Prillwitz, Harms & Lanzendorf, 2008; Thøgersen, 2012) or having a baby (Lanzendorf, 2010; Prillwitz et al., 2008; Ryley.”
How Can Psychological Theory Help Cities Increase Walking and Bicycling? (2014, background): “One study found that people who moved and were offered a transit pass and targeted information increased transit use more than movers not given the pass and information (Bamberg, 2006).”
