Abstract
The goal of this paper is to explain the intention to use a carpooling app through the combined theories of goal framing(GFT) and of planned behavior(TPB). Prior research already established a connection between these phenomena, however there are not many studies investigating how to properly apply goal framing to pro-environmental behavior, so the goal was to expand on that knowledge. As an addition, because it was successfully included into a similar TPB framework, dispositional trust has also been added into the model. With regard to goal framing, we focused on the normative goal (linked to pro-environmental behavior) and gain goal (linked to personal gain, for example financially) by comparing them to a control group. The expectation had been that being assigned to any group that is not the control group would result in the highest intention to sign up. Dispositional trust was assumed to mediate that relationship in different ways depending on the group. Our sample was gathered through an online survey and consisted of mostly Dutch participants, of which N = 82 finished the questionnaire. Despite receiving mostly non-significant results, this paper might serve as a guide for future applications of goal framing and ultimately help in the adaptation and understanding of carpooling determinants.
