'Psychological strategies to promote household recycling. A systematic review with meta-analysis of validated field interventions.' Journal of Environmental Psychology, 51, 168-188. doi:10.1016/j.jenvp.2017.03.011. What actually raises household recycling, and it hands the article its close. In their words: 'Various psychological intervention strategies have been applied to promote household recycling, such as information, feedback, incentives, commitment, behavior modeling and environmental alterations... A random-effect meta-analysis with a sample of 36 studies reporting 70 interventions revealed that social modeling and environmental alterations were the most effective techniques. The examination of underlying factors considered in the interventions also showed that some of them are rarely accounted for when designing the interventions.' NO POOLED EFFECT SIZE, CONFIDENCE INTERVAL OR HETEROGENEITY STATISTIC WAS OBTAINABLE AND NONE MAY BE ATTACHED TO THIS PAPER. What the article may say is that across 36 studies and 70 field interventions the two things that worked best were showing people what others do and changing the physical situation, and that telling people things was not among the winners. Environmental alteration means moving the bin.
