摘要

摘要人们往往认为自己在各种情况下都比一般人好。在这篇文章中，我测试了优于平均水平的效果（BTAE）是否也适用于环保行为参与。实验1使用了一个具有代表性的大样本，支持大多数参与者报告说他们比其他人更环保。实验2在另外3种文化（美国、英国和印度）中验证了这些发现，并表明BTAE既适用于抽象的（其他美国人），也适用于具体的（我的朋友）比较。实验3发现，参与者高估了他们参与环保行动的“程度”和“频率”。最后，实验4发现，诱导BTAE会抑制未来的环保行为这一假设得到了微弱的支持。

Most People Think They Are More Pro-Environmental than Others: A Demonstration of the Better-than-Average Effect in Perceived Pro-Environmental Behavioral Engagement

Abstract People tend to perceive themselves as better than average in various contexts. In this article I test if the better-than-average effect (BTAE) also holds for pro-environmental behavioral engagement. Experiment 1 supported that the majority of participants report to be more pro-environmental than others, using a large representative sample. Experiment 2 validated these findings in 3 additional cultures (United States, United Kingdom, and India) and showed that BTAE held for both abstract (other Americans) and concrete (my friends) comparisons. Experiment 3 found that participants overestimated both how “much” and how “often” they engage in pro-environmental actions. Finally, Experiment 4 found weak support for the hypothesis that inducing BTAE are inhibiting future pro-environmental behaviors.
