In addition, when thinking about climate relevant actions (whether current practices or the alternatives) participants focussed almost exclusively on mitigation rather than adaptation.
To ensure that sufficient time was given to process information about all of the alternatives, participants in both testing conditions were not allowed to advance the questions on their own, but instead had to spend the 25-s period with each question, as had been done in the previous research of Little et al. (2012).
In the study using PAPRIKA (Potentially All Pairwise RanKing of all possible Alternatives) participants did trade-offs between hypothetical technologies.
In order to prevent confusion between the original narrative and the previously simulated CF alternatives, participants began this phase of the experiment by re-reading the original story and recounting it aloud.
Process evaluation examined feasibility issues including: number of participants recruited via alternative pathways; participant characteristics according to recruitment pathway; study retention from enrolment to follow-up questionnaire (including reasons for withdrawal); engagement with mindfulness practices; and acceptability of study measures.
As an alternative, a participant check was performed during the meeting and interviews, and the participants were asked if they could agree with the proposed wording of the preferences.
In addition to engaging in a complex assessment of alternative consequences, participants provided lengthy commentaries on the cultural appropriateness of particular landscape conditions, and conceptions of landscape care or 'visible stewardship'.
Further, as our heroine in the dramatic series crosses paths with these alternative lives, participants will feel the true impact of their contributions on the storyline". It all sounds really bizarre, but I'm fascinated by these pioneering attempts to redefine the concept of the alternative reality game, augmenting the idea with mobile integration and 'participatory drama' elements.
For the USA, it could be shown that while pondering the pros and cons of alternative options, participants expressed a preference for portfolios including CCS and nuclear power.
As an alternative, some participants suggested that patients use e-DAs and bring their results to their clinic appointment, while others were concerned about having enough time to review patients' information during clinical visits.
