“…Both groups decreased consumption during the Treatment phase; the Feedback group however decreased its mean consumption by a greater amount (19.77 KWH/day) than did the Control group (14.89 KWH/day). The result is consistent with some 18 other studies in which more than 200 U.S.A. households indicated savings in KWH consumption of between 10% and 30% (Lloyd, 1980). Savings of this magnitude are financially and socially significant for public conservation programmes.…”

“…This feedback procedure must be distinguished from a prompting procedure in which the experimenter presents householders with information, inducements, and/or threats specifying how they should behave. In a review of 11 studies employing prompts (Lloyd, 1980), only two studies reported any significant effect on subsequent energy consumption. Positive effects occurred when different prompts (short slogans or messages) were presented daily to householders and, therefore, inadvertently followed some behaviour (Palmer, .…”

The degree of agreement between responses to attitude questionnaires and responses in situations in which the content of the questionnaires is relevant is examined for the study of attitudes in general and for the study of environmental attitudes in particular. The observed low positive correlations of attitude and behaviour suggest that the notion that it is first necessary to change attitudes before one can change behaviour must be reevaluated. A review of the recent say-do correspondence literature is followed by a comparison of attitude-behaviour studies with say-do correspondence studies. A more empirical approach is urged for the future of environmental research which offers a unique arena for the study of attitude-behaviour congruence.

“…The field of behavioral ecology emerged in the 1980s to address such issues (Lloyd, 1980). Since then, applied behavior analysts have been actively involved in efforts to promote energy conservation, increasing recycling, controlling litter, and promoting carpooling (Geller, 1986;Geller, Winett & Everett, 1982).…”

the historical, intellectual, and social context that situates the book in the utopian genre, the critiques of its premises and practices, and the fate of intentional communities patterned on the book. In the second part, we review practices in Skinner's book that advance social justice and human well-being under the themes of health, wealth, and wisdom, and then focus on contemporary practices that are the legacy of his vision. His vision was neither the a priori truth of a particular premise about human behavior or a necessary practice (blueprint) for an intentional community but rather the use of empirical methods to discover premises and practices that work to advance the health, wealth, and wisdom of individuals and survival of the culture. . We would like to thank Lyman Sargent, Nathaniel Smith, and James Todd for their advice and assistance with the manuscript.

B. F. Skinner’s utopian vision: Behind and beyond Walden Two

This paper addresses B. F. Skinner's utopian vision for enhancing social justice and human wellbeing in his 1948 novel, Walden Two. In the first part, we situate the book in its historical, intellectual, and social context of the utopian genre, address critiques of the book's premises and practices, and discuss the fate of intentional communities patterned on the book. The central point here is that Skinner's utopian vision was not any of Walden Two's practices, except one: the use of empirical methods to search for and discover practices that worked. In the second part, we describe practices in Skinner's book that advance social justice and human well-being under the themes of health, wealth, and wisdom, and then show how the subsequent literature in applied behavior analysis supports Skinner's prescience. Applied behavior analysis is a measure of the success of Skinner's utopian vision: to experiment.
