| Abstract |
A way to make people save energy is by informing them that "comparable others" save more. We investigated whether, one can further improve this nudge by manipulating Who the "comparable others" are. We asked participants to imagine receiving feedback stating that their energy consumption exceeded that of "comparable others" by 10%. We varied Who the "comparable others" were in a 2 × 2 design: they were a household that was located either in the same neighborhood as themselves or in a different neighborhood, and its members were either identified (by names and a photograph) or unidentified. We also included two control conditions: one where no feedback was provided, and one where only statistical feedback was provided (feedback about an average household). We found that it matters Who the "comparable others" are. The most effective feedback was when the referent household was from the same neighborhood as the individual's and its members were not identified. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 August 2021.
All research outputs
#14,669,618
of 23,935,525 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#14,900
of 31,901 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#137,181
of 271,258 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#298
of 555 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,935,525 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 31,901 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 271,258 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 555 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
