Sustainability Campaign: Social Norms Marketing vs Community Based Social Marketing

This activity is for a Social Psychology class, during a segment on Social Influence. Students are should have read an intro textbook chapter on this topic prior to engaging in this activity.

Prior to class, students read articles and consider discussion questions on social norms marketing, community based social marketing, and social influence. During class, groups will be assigned to one of several sustainability/pro-environment topics for which they will design a long range and broad based campaign for behavior change.

My hope is that by examining the readings first (some of which pertain to health or other non-environment behaviors), students will be better equipped to design a more effective campaign that specifically targets sustainable behaviors.
