5
Experimental Design Group Size: 8 vs 32 Framing: Conservation dilemma vs Contribution dilemma (public goods) Identity salience: individual vs collective Time (feedback) Phase 1: gradual depletion (14 trials) Phase 2: depletion crisis (6 trials)
6
Results: Phase 1 First trial: Main effect of group size (M small = 13.15 vs M large = 14.42) Main effect of framing (M cons = 12.13 vs M cont = 15.45) Across trial blocks: Slight decline in take, especially in public goods (contribution) condition

Results: Phase 2 Conservation Frame Contribution Frame
