What is DR@W Forum?
DR@W Forum is an interdisciplinary discussion series which focuses on theoretical and empirical research about decision making.
The usual structure of the forum is a 30 - 45 minute introduction of the topic/working paper, with ample additional time for discussion.
The audience prefers discussing work-in-progress topics as opposed to finished papers. We meet on Thursdays between 2:30 and 3:45pm during term time. Contact John Taylor (John.Taylor[at]wbs.ac.uk) if you would like to suggest a speaker for a future event. Notifications of upcoming DR@W Forum events along with other decision research related activities can be obtained by registering with the moderated mailing list - email behaviour_spotlight at newlistserv dot warwick dot ac dot uk to be added to the list.

DR@W Forum: Fabio Galeotti (CNRS GATE, Lyon)
Many types of educational interventions have been developed to promote civic behavior. In this study, we use a large-scale field experiment (N = 430) to test the effects of a common intervention that we hypothesize can strengthen civic engagement: a 鈥渃lean walk.鈥� We measure norm enforcement by observing participants鈥� reactions to a staged littering incident. We compare behavior following an engaging activity—collecting litter in public spaces—with behavior following either a control condition or a less engaging awareness intervention. Finally, we examine the interventions鈥� effects on other indirect expressions of disapproval.
