Carbon Offsets by Description Condition

The survey tested two different descriptions for carbon offsets to see if wording impacted behavioral indicators.

Methods

In April 2024, we surveyed adults from the greater Boston area (n = 1,015), quota-matched to the population of the metro area by age x sex x race and Hispanic / Non-Hispanic identity. Additionally, the sample was weighted using survey weights to be representative of the Boston area adult population on the same two dimensions.
