用大模型生成个性化建议,能显著提升节水节能意愿。

Potential of large language model-powered nudges for promoting daily water and energy conservation

  • 用大模型定制节水节能建议,比单纯数据反馈更有效。
  • 大模型干预使86.9%~98.0%参与者意愿提升,最高增18.0%。
  • 提升自我效能感,增强内在动力,适合环保干预研究者。

水资源与能源短缺带来的压力日益加剧,推动个人节约行为的培养愈发紧迫。尽管基于使用反馈的助推(nudging)在促进节约行为方面已显成效,但其效果常受限于内容缺乏针对性与可操作性。本研究通过1515名大学生的调查实验,对比三种虚拟助推场景:无助推、传统助推(仅提供使用数据)、大语言模型(LLM)赋能的助推(含使用数据与个性化建议)。统计分析与因果森林模型显示,助推使86.9%至98.0%参与者节约意愿上升;其中LLM助推使意愿最高提升18.0%,较传统方式提高88.6%。结构方程模型进一步表明,接触LLM助推后,个体自我效能感与结果预期增强,对社会规范依赖降低,内在动机提升。研究凸显了大模型在推动个人节水节能方面的变革潜力,为可持续行为干预与资源管理设计开辟新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The increasing amount of pressure related to water and energy shortages has increased the urgency of cultivating individual conservation behaviors. While the concept of nudging, i.e., providing usage-based feedback, has shown promise in encouraging conservation behaviors, its efficacy is often constrained by the lack of targeted and actionable content. This study investigates the impact of the use of large language models (LLMs) to provide tailored conservation suggestions for conservation intentions and their rationale. Through a survey experiment with 1,515 university participants, we compare three virtual nudging scenarios: no nudging, traditional nudging with usage statistics, and LLM-powered nudging with usage statistics and personalized conservation suggestions. The results of statistical analyses and causal forest modeling reveal that nudging led to an increase in conservation intentions among 86.9%-98.0% of the participants. LLM-powered nudging achieved a maximum increase of 18.0% in conservation intentions, surpassing traditional nudging by 88.6%. Furthermore, structural equation modeling results reveal that exposure to LLM-powered nudges enhances self-efficacy and outcome expectations while diminishing dependence on social norms, thereby increasing intrinsic motivation to conserve. These findings highlight the transformative potential of LLMs in promoting individual water and energy conservation, representing a new frontier in the design of sustainable behavioral interventions and resource management.
