Changing Energy End-Use Patterns as a Means of Reducing Global-Warming Trends.
Dresner, Marion
Journal of Environmental Education, v21 n2 p41-46 Win 1989-90
A simulation game was used in an attempt to change undergraduates' behavior and attitudes toward energy conservation. Social influence was found to be correlated significantly with experimental treatment. Participants showed an increase in favorable attitudes toward activism and political efficacy, and exhibited a greater likelihood of taking action. (Author/CW)
