Contexto
What changed: Incoming university students received water-saving information, completed an implementation intention exercise, and received a 4-minute shower timer. Comparison: Students assigned to control completed an unrelated reading comprehension filler task. Limits: Metered water data was only available for aggregate buildings (N=10), creating low statistical power, and individual-level behaviors could not be isolated.
