Questionnaire 'shower'

Introduction:

We have created a device to keep track of your behavior when you shower. In this way you get more inside in your water consumption. Please click on the button below to meet ‘Will’. He will be given you feedback on your showering habits.

Will: Hello I am Will! Thank you for joining. Let’s see how your typical shower goes.

Do you take a shower every day? (yes/no)

• Yes: (Sad) It is such a shame that you choose to behave in this way.

Question 1a: After hearing the comment of Will I feel convinced to change my behavior. (The participant answers the question with the aid of a Likert Scale, varying from totally disagree to totally agree)

• No: (Happy) Yes, that is the way to go!

Question 1b: After hearing the comment of Will I feel motivated to continue my behavior. (The participant answers the question with the aid of a Likert Scale, varying from totally disagree to totally agree)

Explanation at the end of the questionnaire:

Thank you for using our device! We will give you a short recap of what Will wanted to teach you: It is not necessary for your hygiene to take a shower every day. It is actually bad for the condition of your skin as it dehydrates it. Besides that it is bad for the environment and for your wallet. Most of the time taking a ten minute shower is more than enough. There are exceptions of course for example when you need to shave yourself under the shower or when you are using a conditioner. Nevertheless we tend to stay under the shower longer than necessary. Mostly when it is cold outside and a warm shower feels too nice or when a shower is a nice way to wake up in the morning. Finally, keeping your shower running while you are using shampoo or soap is a massive waste of water. Most people even turn the showerhead sideways so it does not wash away the soap too soon. We cannot say it enough that it is bad for the environment and as well for your wallet.

This is the end of the questionnaire. Thank you very much for your participation!
