Problem Motivation Excessive energy consumption is a primary cause of
global warming Americans consumed 100 quadrillion BTUs of energy (U.S.
Department of Energy 2006) Energy consumption primarily linked to individual activities:
lighting, heating and cooling (Bin and Dowlatabadi 2005, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2006)
Numerous Web-based initiatives exist to encourage environmentally responsive behavior Daily actions: GreenSpeak.org Green travel: EarthRoutes.net Carbon footprint calculations and green living: Yahoo!Green
Social networking sites enable individuals to meet, collaborate and act collectively Facebook MySpace

StepGreen: Decisionmaking 4
Research questions Can we design an application to encourage
reductions in daily activities that affect global warming that integrate: On-line social networking, to attract people who are not
necessarily ‘green’ Displaying progress towards energy reduction goals, individually
and in groups Tracking actual energy consumption through sensors Multiple technology platforms
Result is StepGreen, an initiative that combines scholarship, outreach and social change: Mankoff, Matthews, Fussell and Johnson (2007) Mankoff et al. (2008)

Alternative disciplinary views of StepGreen Technology: a flexible, robust system will induce
behavioral change and attract many users IS/IT policy: a popular on-line application will provide
novel insight into IT adoption, usage and outcomes. Decision sciences: a Web-based decision support
system will help ordinary users make better and more efficient decisions about high-impact daily actions
Public policy: learn about long-term social and environmental impacts of individual change as compared to national-level policy.

Action selection is a decision problem Behavioral change is a multi-step process:
Persuade users that action on a particular topic is urgent Learn consequences of actions along multiple dimensions Explore alternatives by examining tradeoffs in attribute space Choose one or more actions that optimize utility Observe actual impacts of actions Update preferences for action attributes
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 8
Action selection is a decision problem, cont’d Action representation is important to
decisionmaking: Present choices in lists of varying sizes
One at a time List
Present choices in differing ways: Text descriptions Tables, charts and graphs
Dynamics in action representations: Static Interactive
What is the effect of length and information content of alternative visual representations of actions on decision
time and decision quality?

Research gap: decision aids and DSS for public-sector problems
Limited literature on decision support and visualization especially by unsophisticated users, or those in vulnerable or underrepresented groups (Johnson 2006)
Can specific decision aids and visualization strategies enable users to make decisions regarding lifestyle choices more effectively, or with higher levels of
satisfaction?
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 11
Previous experiment: design Surveys:
Effects of human actions on global warming Decision-making styles Satisfaction with range of choices provided and rankings made
Evaluate text-based actions according to: Length (‘terse’ vs. ‘verbose’) Information content (‘relevant’ vs. ‘irrelevant’) Action category (e.g. Heating, Lighting, Appliances, Water)
Actions are partitioned into two sets of non-dominated alternatives: ‘Superior’ (8 or 10) ‘Inferior’ (2 of 10)
Users rank top four actions out of 10 available in four categories

Previous experiment: results
Decision quality shows significant variation with action categories
Few statistically significant associations with decision length or quality: Question length Information content Decision style Satisfaction with the range of decision alternatives Satisfaction with the ranking decisions
No evidence of learning about environmental impacts

StepGreen: Decisionmaking 14
Will alternative visualization methods make a difference? Hypothesis: users prefer graphical representations
of actions to text representations and will make better decisions.
New design: Four action categories Four visual representations of action characteristics and impacts:

Research framework, cont’d Users are assumed to act according to defined
decision-making styles (Scott and Bruce 1995): Intuitive
“When I make a decision I trust my inner feelings and reactions” Rational
“I make decisions in a logical and systematic way” Dependent
“I often need the assistance of other people when making important decisions”
Avoidant “I often procrastinate when it comes to making important decisions”
Spontaneous “When making decisions I do what seems natural at the moment”
Users learn about environmental impacts of various actions through choice process

StepGreen: Decisionmaking 21
Hypotheses
H 1: Participants’ decision quality and decision time vary according to action category.
H 2a: Graphical representation results in better outcomes than text representations
H2b: Decision time and decision quality varies according to specific graphical representations
H 3a: ‘Rational’ decision-making styles are associated with higher-quality decisions
H 3b: ‘Spontaneous’ decision-making styles are associated with lower-quality decisions
H 3c: ‘Rational’ decision-making styles are associated with slower decisions
H 3d: ‘’Intuitive’ decision-making styles are associated with more rapid decisions
H 4: Participants showed an increase in knowledge about impacts of specific actions with respect to global warming
H 5: Gender is associated with decision quality and decision time

So, are StepGreen users solving a decision problem? We think so..but decision context so far provides
little support. For static representations of actions:
Generally, neither length of action descriptions, information content within descriptions or graphical representation of actions had significant effects on decision outcomes.
Why did more information about decision alternatives not help subjects make better decisions? Alternatives ranking too demanding cognitively? Information insufficiently tailored to different needs, interests and
backgrounds of subjects?
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 32
Implications for research Design:
For maximum speed, emphasize graphical representations of actions
Particular graphical representation not important
Next steps: Use a human intermediary to help users choose actions Apply new methods to measure decision-making competence
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 33
New Experiment: Human-assisted decisionmaking Inspiration:
Risk-perception literature (Florig, et al. 2001): detailed problem representation improves risk ranking
Decision competence literature (Parker, Bruine de Bruin and Fischoff 2007), in which measures of decision efficacy are associated with satisfaction with decisions made
Idea: Use a human intermediary to help users better understand their
own values and preferences and characteristics of action alternatives
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 34
Goal: evaluate decision outcomes along two dimensions of interventions Intermediary types:
‘Peer’ intermediary - informal, youthful affect and use a minimum of technical language
‘Expert’ intermediary - more formal, academic affect, use technical language and appear to be an authority on behavioral changes and impacts of actions on climate change.
Intermediation type: Quantitative - Problem-focused, scientific presentation of the
impacts of various actions using figures and descriptions of relevant calculations
Qualitative - individual-focused, interactive, holistic discussion using probing questions to learn about subject attitudes regarding different actions
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 35
Scientific versus informal presentation of actions Scientific presentation:
Diagrams will convey the mechanisms by which actions will result in energy savings and a reduction in carbon emissions.
Equations will convey the means by which energy savings and reductions in carbon emissions are computed for ‘typical’ users.
No mention will be made of individual preferences for some classes of actions over others, or the means by which individual lifestyle characteristics influence the impacts of various actions.
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
StepGreen: Decisionmaking 36
Scientific versus informal presentation of actions, continued Informal presentation:
Scripted questions to subjects will determine Categories of actions are most important to them
Constraints that limit consideration of certain action
Motivation for pursuing energy reducing actions
No mention will be made of amounts of energy saved for various actions, or the means by which impacts are computed.
