TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - The effect of marketing messages on the motivation to reduce private car use in different segments JO - Transport policy A1 - Andersson, Alfred A1 - Winslott Hiselius, Lena A1 - Adell, Emeli SP - 22 EP - 30 VL - 90 IS - N2 - This study explores marketing messages promoting sustainable transport and reported motivation to reduce private car use within different segments. A stated preference survey targeting a sample of 1300 residents in Sweden was conducted, and exploratory factor analysis was used to identify underlying dimensions of a set of 19 marketing messages. Self-efficacy and collective efficacy were defined as latent factors, and the latter was found to be a better motivator for all segments. For the most car-advocating segment, however, the factors (both self- and collective efficacy) was unsuccessful in inducing any reported motivation to reduce private car use. Assimilation bias seems to influence the respondent's interpretation of marketing messages.
