In this episode, both faculty members will share valuable insights from their research study on the topic, "Can Social Media Messaging Help Save Our Environment?"

Social media is a powerful tool for promoting prosocial behaviors like energy conservation, helping address climate change. This study explores how social media can effectively encourage energy-saving actions, focusing on two key factors: the recipient's connection to the sender and the use of social proof in messages. Through a large-scale energy campaign and a controlled experiment, it finds that messages from affiliated groups with social proof appeals are significantly more effective, highlighting the environmental benefits of strategic social media use.
