Abstract
Use of effective intervention strategies is one of the significant approaches to achieve pro-environmental behavior changes. However, how
the intervention strategies affect pro-environmental behaviors still remains unclear. The purpose of our research is to understand relationships
among factors, intervention strategies, and intervention effects through systematic reviews of research papers on pro -environmental
behaviors and household energy consuming behaviors. We reviewed papers in three research fields, that is, factors which determine energy
consuming behaviors, intervention strategies to affect energy consuming behavior, and effects of interventions on the energy consuming
behavior. The results show that, first, the factors are categorized as individual factors, socio-demographic factors, or situational factors. Then
the intervention strategies are categorized by the instrumentality into three types, information based intervention, structural intervention, or
gamification and monetary based intervention. Moreover, another category is the timing which has three types, antecedent, contingency, and
combination of antecedent and contingency. Finally, the effect of interventions is commonly measured by electric power consumption.
Another way is to compare multiple research papers by meta-analysis. Several consumer classifications are also used to understand partial
effects on behavior changes. Based on these results, we made a conceptual model which describes the relations among intervention
strategies, factors, behavior changes, and intervention effects for energy consumption in household.
