  1. HOW TO PROMOTE ECOCOTIZEN BEHAVIOURS AT SCHOOL? Robert-Vincent JOULE & Séverine HALIMI-FALKOWICZ Laboratory of Social Psychology (EA849) University of Provence, France

  2. HOW TO PROMOTE ECOCOTIZEN BEHAVIOURS AT SCHOOL? e.g.,Peterson & al. (2000) Robert-Vincent JOULE & Séverine HALIMI-FALKOWICZ Laboratory of Social Psychology (EA849) University of Provence, France Peterson, A.V., Kealey, K.A., Mann, S.L., Marek, P.M. & Sarason, I.G. (2000). Hutchinson Smoking Prevention Project: long-term randomized trial in school-based tobacco use prevention-results on smoking. Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 92, 1979-1991. How to lead people to adopt a new expected behaviour? 1. Classical ways… and their limits • Authority & Sanction… no long term effects • Information & Persuasion… necessary, but not sufficient! no differences between them 4000 students in a control group 4000 students in an I&P experimental group

  3. How to lead people to adopt a new expected behaviour? 1. Classical ways… and their limits 2. Creating a committing context around a first "preparatory" act • Lewin (1947) • a first committing preparatory act can lead to an expected behaviour • The Commitment Theory • Kiesler (1971, p.30) commitment = "the link between an individual and his/her act" • Joule & Beauvois (1998) - "external" commitment - preparatory acts => viewed as starting points

  4. How to lead people to adopt a new expected behaviour? 1. Classical ways… and their limits 2. Creating a committing context around a first "preparatory" act • Commitment factors (Joule & Beauvois, 1998) P ublic feature of the act F I RE reedom context rrevocability of the act epetition of the act xplicit feature of the act C I C onsequences of the act nternal reasons for the act ost of the act

  5. for instance, a new expected behaviour !!! How to lead people to adopt a new expected behaviour? 1. Classical ways… and their limits 2. Creating a committing context around a first "preparatory" act • Commitment factors (Joule & Beauvois, 1998) + + + + + + What consequences? • Cognitives consequences • - consolidation of the initial attitudes • - better resistance to future influence attempts • Behavioural consequences • - sticking to the behavioural decision • - performing later behaviours, related to the same course of action

  6. How to lead people to adopt a new expected behaviour? 1. Classical ways… and their limits 2. Creating a committing context around a first "preparatory" act • Commitment factors (Joule & Beauvois, 1998) What consequences? • Illustration with the " Foot-in-the-door" procedure • Freedman et Fraser (1966) - expected behaviour (EB): put a big roadsign in one’s garden - preparatory acte (PA): buy a sticker "for a carefull drive" EB only  16,7 % of acceptance PA then EB 76 % of acceptance

  7. How to promote ecocitizen behaviours at school? The action research (Joule & Bernard, 2004) • Framework? the ALTENER european project "Energy Force for Children" • When?during school year 2002-2003 • Who?700 pupils, their parents, with the help of 28 teachers • Where?in 11 primary schools of the Provence-Alpes-Côtes d'Azur (France) GOAL : to promote ecocitizen behaviours at school & in families

  8. How to promote ecocitizen behaviours at school? The action research (Joule & Bernard, 2004) • Four preparatory acts AT SCHOOL (1) observation of "good" and "bad" energy saving habits AT HOME (1) observation of "bad" habits that can be easily changed (2) fill in a long questionnaire about energy saving (3) put a sticker on the family fridge, in support of environment protection

  9. How to promote ecocitizen behaviours at school? The action research (Joule & Bernard, 2004) • Four preparatory acts • Three (formal) commitments PUPILS (1) a first commitment at school

  10. How to promote ecocitizen behaviours at school? The action research (Joule & Bernard, 2004) • Four preparatory acts • Three (formal) commitments PUPILS (1) a first commitment at school (2) a second commitment at home
