Is a residential relocation a good opportunity to change people
Bamberg evaluates, with an experiment guided by theory, an intervention that combined a free public transport ticket with personal schedule information. It was delivered shortly after a residential relocation, a moment assumed to make people more responsive. At their new homes the intervention group showed a strong increase in public transport use. Using the theory of planned behaviour, he finds an effect on intention, with interactions involving the change intention people held before the move and the quality of public transport service at the new address.
