Short- and long-term effects of embodied experiences in immersive virtual environments on environmental locus of control and behavior
作者：
Highlights：
• Immersive virtual environments successfully promote environmental behaviors.
• Embodying perceptually rich, interactive experiences leads to paper conservation.
• Individuals use 20% less paper after cutting down a virtual tree.
• The increase in environmental behavior lasts for up to one week afterwards.
• An internal environmental locus of control is the underlying mechanism.
