We used a questionnaire that includes open- and closed-ended questions to assess individuals’ WB and their views and intentions regarding development and rerouting their life. For the estimation, we devised a structural equation model in which covariates of feature variables – WB-trait (rather stable and personality-oriented) and WB-state (fluctuates over time and situation-oriented) – are interacted with measures of the individuals’ decision making and behavior, while controlling for their demographics. Results show correlations between personal characteristics, and in particular WB, both as a trait and a state, and fresh start decisions during landmark periods. Furthermore, the results reveal that people's WB-trait is much more important than WB-state. People with strong WB-trait are capable of overcoming landmark adverse periods and advancing their capabilities. In addition, personal characteristics, such as education and age, are also positively correlated with WB-trait, while being a parent and being a woman are both associated with lower WB-trait scores. The study demonstrates the importance of WB in times of crisis and calls for decision makers to take action to improve peoples' WB.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139587752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that participants primed on future events plant significantly more trees and have higher pro-environmental intentions than participants in the control group, who were primed on leisure activities unrelated to the future. However, we find no statistically significant difference between the positive and negative future priming conditions. Exploring different potential mechanisms behind our results, we find that both future primes activated greater concern for the future and the environment, whereas the leisure prime triggered present concerns. While these results align with our research question, we cannot rule out that the leisure priming may have activated other concerns, unrelated to the present or future, potentially leading to fewer trees planted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000065/pdfft?md5=33873cd6d2137b8af0de000e038c9d92&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000065-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139587746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how sensitive the elicitation of such measures is to questionnaire design. Using a survey experiment conducted in Chile, we assess order effects on the elicitation of expectations and risk preference measures. To do so, we randomly alter the position of questionnaire modules. Our findings suggest that expectations about future work, school, and wellbeing-related outcomes, as well as risk preferences, are sensitive to order effects. When people are asked about their past experiences immediately before the elicitation of such measures, more pessimistic expectations about future outcomes are reported, as well as higher levels of risk aversion. We also observed that positioning non-cognitive skill questions immediately before the elicitation of expectations and risk preferences generates data with lower variance suggesting more reliable measurements. Indeed, using these measures in prediction models of schooling and labour market outcomes, we find higher predictive power of future schooling and labour market outcomes when our measures are preceded by non-cognitive skills questions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139516608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a nationwide field experiment in the Norwegian primary care sector to study the behavioral responses from giving general practitioners feedback (GPs) on their claiming of fees. The email-based feedback intervention targeted GPs who most frequently claimed fees for double consultations and provided them with a reminder of the formal regulations for double consultations. The intervention caused a 3–4 percentage point reduction in the use of the double-consultation fee, reducing the yearly health care spending of the Norwegian government by approximately to €480 000 per year. This substantial and durable behavioral response found in our study sample comprising 15 % of Norwegian GPs, shows that low-cost interventions via email can have significant financial impact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000181/pdfft?md5=f2f66374f9eac4754aa10fdd8f22bd6a&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000181-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139516610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a novel methodology, leveraging text data for predictive analytics rather than mere explanation. We detail a supervised classification framework that interprets patterns in chat text to estimate the likelihood of associated numerical outcomes. Despite the unique advantages of experimental data in correlating textual and numerical information for predictive modeling, challenges such as limited sample sizes and potential data skewness persist. To address these, we propose a comprehensive methodological framework aimed at optimizing predictive modeling configurations, particularly in small experimental behavioral research datasets. We also present behavioral experimental data from a preregistered tax evasion game (n=324), demonstrating that chat behavior is not influenced by experimenter demand effects. This establishes chat text as an unbiased variable, enhancing its validity for prediction. Our findings further indicate that beliefs about others’ dishonesty, lying attitudes, and risk preferences significantly impact compliance decisions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000041/pdfft?md5=4bddca37252ed828f668c721ab9b21df&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000041-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139376384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
