The effect of causal verbs on knowledge creation and behavior 公开
West, Meredith Nicole (2010)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship
between knowledge and
everyday behaviors. The study focused on people's knowledge of
global warming and their
recycling behavior. In Experiment 1, I found that people's
knowledge of global warming, as
measured by their use of specific causal verbs in a concept map,
correlated positively with
their ratings on a recycling behavior survey. In Experiment 2, I
found that having people
create concept maps with specific verbs preserved recycling
behavior a week after test,
whereas having people create concept maps with general verbs
actually led to declines in
recycling behavior a week after test. Implications for people's
health practices are discussed.
