| FEYGINA ET AL. (2010, STUDY 3) | OUR CLOSE REPLICATION | |
|

| Sample | 41 New York University undergraduate students (30 women, 11 men). No age or nationality information reported. | 567 adults living in, and identifying their nationality as, United States of America (276 women, 272 men). Ages ranged from 18 to 93 years (M = 37.06, SD = 13.92). |
|
| ||
| Setting | Computers in a controlled, in-person laboratory setting. | Online study; participants took part in their own environment. |
|
| ||
| Conditions | 1) Original control condition, 2) System-preservation experimental condition. | 1) Original control condition, 2) System-preservation experimental condition, 3) True control condition. |
|
| ||
| PEB intentions | Identical; pro-environmental behaviour intentions (10 items, 9-point response scale). Analysis used the mean score of 10 items as the dependent variable in a linear regression analysis. | |
|
| ||
| Petitions | Seven pro-environmental petitions presented after a false debrief, ostensibly unrelated to the study. Created a 3-point measure by recoding data into: no petitions signed (34.1% of participants), a few petitions signed (i.e., one to three petitions, 29.3%), most petitions signed (i.e., four to seven petitions, 36.6%), to use in an ordered logistic regression. |
Seven pro-environmental petitions presented online and before the debrief, updated for relevance. Created a 3-point measure by recoding data into: no petitions signed (34.0% of participants), a few petitions signed (i.e., one to three petitions, 16.9%), most petitions signed (i.e., four to seven petitions, 49.0%), to use in an ordered logistic regression. In addition, analysed data using the count of how many petitions were signed, using a negative binomial regression. |
