摘要

旨在减少生产和消费水平的充足战略在帮助解决环境问题方面具有很大的潜力。关于如何在个人层面上促进自愿自足行为的知识有限。在一项来自美国的参与者（n = 1317）的在线实验中，我们检验了提供关于对自然、社会或个人的不同充足性利益的信息对充足性行为的影响。充分性行为是通过参与者在亚马逊代金券和向促进充分性项目的组织捐款之间的决定来衡量的。结果表明，个体充分性获得框架导致的亚马逊代金券放弃量显著高于中性对照组。告知个人充分性的好处，比如更多的空闲时间和更好的心理健康，可能会在促进充分性行为方面卓有成效。

The benefits of less: The effect of sufficiency gain framing on sufficiency behavior

Sufficiency strategies aimed at reduced production and consumption levels have a high potential to help combat environmental issues. There is limited knowledge on how to promote voluntary sufficiency behaviors at the individual level. In an online experiment with participants from the United States (n = 1317), we examine the effect of providing information about different sufficiency benefits to nature, society, or the individual on sufficiency behavior. Sufficiency behavior was measured by participants' decision between an Amazon voucher and donating to an organization that fosters sufficiency projects. The results show that the individual sufficiency gain framing leads to a significantly higher amount of Amazon voucher waived compared to a neutral control group. Informing about individual sufficiency benefits, such as more free time and better mental health, may be fruitful in promoting sufficiency behavior.

期刊介绍： Ecological Economics is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature''s household" (ecosystems) and "humanity''s household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.
