Purpose & Method: Between-subjects experiment examining the impact of peer-driven social pressure on Leave No Trace (LNT) adherence in rock climbers using a vignette study design. https://ijw.org/december-2022-2/

​

Outcome: Climbers were more likely to adhere to LNT behaviors when climbing partners encouraged LNT behaviors than when climbing partners were neutral. Additionally, while climbers perceive themselves to be knowledgeable about LNT practices, there is a gap in understanding how LNT specifically relates to the sport.
