   主题:How am I driving? Social comparisons and driving behavior
   摘要: In a large-scale field experiment, we sent text messages of varying social information to drivers in Tsingtao, China, who received at least one ticket in the first nine months of 2013. Our results show that drivers with an above-average number of violations reduce their future violations by 6% after receiving information on the average number of violations for drivers of their own car brand. Furthermore, men are most influenced by information on what drivers of high-status cars do, reducing their future violations by 7%. Of these, the largest effect comes from men who drive an economy car, reducing their violations by 15%.
