- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Increase in automaticity of commuting behavior that was planned in the intervention (over a time period of up to 86 days after the intervention) as well as change in positive and negative affect from pre- to post-commuting. Automaticity is measured daily during the five measurement bursts (each Monday to Friday) using the Self-Report Behavioral Automaticity Index (SRBAI; Gardner et al., 2012; Thurn et al., 2014). Positive and negative affect are measured daily during the five measurement periods (each Monday to Friday) before and after the commuting behavior, using an adapted form of the PANAS according to Swendsen et al. (2000).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes include daily measures on the enactment of the planned commuting behavior as well type and duration of commuting behavior, intrinsic reward and experienced regret as a result of commuting behavior, self-efficacy, and action control.
