Every minute invested in helping others, the community, or the natural environment cannot be invested in the pursuit of hedonic pleasure or economic profit. Yet existing behavioral paradigms and experimental models rarely consider the activities competing with the societally beneficial behavior of interest. Here, we developed the Behavioral Allocation Task (BAT) to explicitly model the opportunity costs of pro-environmental behavior. On each BAT trial, participants can decide whether they want to use the next 30 s to generate environmental benefits, to work for their own financial benefit, or to engage in a potentially more hedonic activity (i.e., watching videos). A preregistered experiment (N = 228) showed BAT choice behavior to systematically track the value of those behavioral options. Pro-environmental choices became more likely when they led to larger environmental benefits, but also when the competing behaviors decreased in value. Individual differences in BAT behavior were also found to be moderately correlated with self-report measures of pro-environmental propensity. These findings support the suitability of the BAT for studying how people allocate their time between pro-environmental behavior and valued competing behaviors. More generally, they illustrate that behavior change interventions may benefit from targeting the behaviors that compete with societally beneficial behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 9","pages":"246"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144764402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results demonstrate strong correlations with human scores of up to r = 0.87 on internal and up to r = 0.84 on external details, indicating the model aligns as closely with human raters as they do with each other. Additionally, as evidence of the algorithm's construct validity, the model replicated known age-related trends wherein cognitively normal older adults generate fewer internal and more external details than younger adults across three datasets, finding this age group difference even in one dataset where human raters did not.

Experience of reward is a highly salient aspect of many human activities, and yet its contribution to semantic processing is not well understood. To address this, the present study took a psycholinguistic approach to measuring and evaluating associations with reward as a facet of word meaning. Behavioural and neurophysiological data suggest that reward processing involves multiple stages and mechanisms. For instance, systems associated with the experience and anticipation of pleasure in response to a reward appear distinct from motivational processes that underlie the pursuit of a stimulus. We sought to collect a novel set of word ratings that capture the full extent of reward-related experience. Initial explorations revealed that reward/pleasure ratings are highly correlated with existing norms of emotional valence. Ratings of association with motivation, however, were only moderately correlated with valence, suggesting they capture distinct semantic information. We therefore conducted a preregistered large-scale study to obtain motivation ratings for 8,601 words. Our analyses suggest these ratings capture aspects of word meaning which are distinct from other semantic dimensions, such as concreteness and valence. Moreover, they explain unique variance in participant performance on lexical, semantic, and recognition memory tasks. We combined motivation and emotional valence ratings to provide a composite measure that might approximate a more general 'reward' construct. However, this did not explain additional variance compared to the individual variables. We discuss the implications of these results for neurocognitive theories of semantics.</p>","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 9","pages":"242"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12307516/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144741057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, reporting a solid justification for a certain sample size is required by most ethics committees and many funding agencies. Often, SSD is based on null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), an approach that has received severe criticism in the past decades. As an alternative, Bayesian hypothesis evaluation using Bayes factors has been developed. Bayes factors quantify the relative support in the data for a pair of competing hypotheses without suffering from some of the drawbacks of NHST. SSD for Bayesian hypothesis testing relies on simulations and has only been studied recently. Available software for this is limited to simple models such as ANOVA and the t test, in which observations are assumed to be independent from each other. However, this assumption is rendered untenable in longitudinal experiments where observations are nested within individuals. In that case, a multilevel model should be used. This paper provides researchers with a valuable tool for performing SSD for multilevel models with longitudinal data in a Bayesian framework, along with the necessary theoretical background and concrete empirical examples.

These correlations were significantly higher than the correlation between the two variables, supporting the idea that they are separate constructs.
