Despite the link between greenhouse gases and climate change, drivers in the United States continue to operate vehicles that consume more fuel per mile and emit higher levels of greenhouse gases than the vehicles driven in other developed nations. Intervention packages that include feedback and goal setting are common in behavior analytic research, specifically in the Organizational Behavior Management literature, but are also used to establish and maintain sustainable human behaviors such as recycling and energy reduction. The current study examined the effects of a treatment package utilizing feedback and goal setting to increase fuel economy in three participants who drove a minimum of 15 consecutive miles at least once per day. Feedback regarding average miles per gallon (MPG), moment-to-moment MPG, and MPG in relation to the participants’ goal were provided by the Scangauge-eTM, a small onboard diagnostic-2 device that connects to the vehicles’ electronic control unit and mounted within the car. Results indicated that treatment effects were noticeable in 2 of the 3 participants for increasing overall MPG.

使用车载诊断设备提供与燃油经济性相关的驾驶行为的反馈

尽管温室气体与气候变化之间存在联系,但与其他发达国家驾驶的车辆相比,美国司机继续驾驶每英里消耗更多燃料并排放更高水平温室气体的车辆。包括反馈和目标设定在内的干预包在行为分析研究中很常见,特别是在组织行为管理文献中,但也用于建立和维持可持续的人类行为,如回收和能源减少。目前的研究检查了利用反馈和目标设定来提高燃油经济性的治疗方案的效果,这些参与者每天至少连续行驶 15 英里,至少一次。关于平均每加仑英里数 (MPG)、瞬间 MPG、与参与者目标相关的 MPG 和 MPG 由 Scangauge-eTM 提供,这是一种小型车载诊断 2 设备,连接到车辆的电子控制单元并安装在汽车内。结果表明,3 名参与者中有 2 名治疗效果显着,可提高整体 MPG。
