Although individuals could help by engaging in pro-environmental actions (e.g.\, choosing a plant-based m eal)\, motivating them to follow through has proven difficult. We ask whet her a serious problem like climate change can be tackled by a less serious intervention: Play. Specifically\, we conjecture that embedding pro-envir onmental decisions into a playful task (i.e.\, a challenge to break record s or win with your team) may increase individuals’ likelihood to adopt the focal behavior. Put differently\, while pro-environmental actions—and the preceding decision-making processes—are typically associated with little fun\, adding elements of play may lift immediate intrinsic benefits for th e self. Two large-scale field experiments (n = 306\,493)\, a longitudinal field study (n = 4\,184)\, and three behavioral experiments (n = 2\,970) s upport our theorizing. The evidence further suggests that the intervention s might produce long-lasting behavior change if implemented over a longer period.\n DTSTART:20250404T143000Z DTEND:20250404T160000Z LOCATION:Room 045\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Â鶹ɫÇ鯬 Institute of Marketing (MIM) Seminar: Lukas Maier URL:/desautels/channels/event/mcgill-institute-marketi ng-mim-seminar-lukas-maier-364411 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
