The association between environmental attitudes and behavior was marginally significant, F (1, 138) = 3.13, p = 0.079, η p 2 = 0.022, meaning that there was a trend for participants with higher levels of environmental attitudes to select environment-friendly options when printing (Cohen’s d = 0.30).

Unexpectedly, the main effect of the prompt did not reach statistical significance, F (1, 173) = 2.06, p = 0.153, η p 2 = 0.012, but the direction of the effect was as expected (more environment-friendly choices when the prompt was present) (Cohen’s d = 0.22).
