• Shedding light on the psychological and behavioral determinants of travel mode choice: A meta-analysis (2017, unknown): “Indeed, since most Travel Demand Management (Eriksson, Garvill, & Nordlund, 2006) and soft transport policy (Möser & Bamberg, 2008) measures have their roots in the informational background provided by analyses of commuters’ decision-making processes, it is necessary to better understand the…”
• Scientific research about climate change mitigation in transport: a critical review (2011, background): “Fourthly, a literature has emerged that foregrounds how changes to the attitudes, lifestyles, norms and values of the people who use transport systems can contribute to behaviour change and decarbonisation (Möser and Bamberg, 2008; Klöckner and Böbaum, 2010).”
• Behaviour Theory and Soft Transport Policy Measures (2011, background): “In one of these meta-analysis Möser and Bamberg (2008) synthesised the results of 141 studies evaluating the car-use reduction effects of workplace travel plans (44 studies), school travel plans (25 studies), and travel awareness campaigns/marketing of public transport (72 studies).”
• Old Habits Die Hard (2015, background): “…majority of interventions have been largely unsuccessful in encouraging healthier or more sustainable behaviours (Graham-Rowe, Skippon, Gardner & Abraham, 2011; Möser & Bamberg, 2008; Ogilvie, Egan, Hamilton & Pettigrew, 2004; Ogilvie, Foster, Rothnie, Cavill, et al., 2007; Weenig & Midden, 1997).”
• Part II: Policy instruments for sustainable road transport (2010, background): “Physical policies are infrastructural improvements to road transport, including public transport and land use.2 However, there is no unified, agreed upon, definition of ‘soft’ measures in the literature (Möser & Bamberg, 2008, p. 10).”
• Soft Transport Policy Measures: Gaps in Knowledge (2011, methodology): “…of implementations of soft transport policy measures (the generic term we henceforth use), as well as meta-analyses of the effects of such implementations (Fujii et al. 2009; Möser and Bamberg 2008; Taniguchi et al. 2007), show that in general these measures are effective in changing travel.”
