Singaporeans who scored high levels of empathy may choose to prioritize the environment
A study conducted by a team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has found that Singaporeans, who scored high levels of empathy, would choose to prioritize the environment over the convenience and comfort of both themselves and their families or co-workers.
Nearly eight out of ten (79%) respondents to a series of surveys said they would prefer to buy an energy-efficient air-conditioner over a conventional one, even though the latter was cheaper.
To cut down on carbon emissions, more than eight out of ten (82%) would keep room temperatures at an optimal 23°C to 25°C, despite knowing their children or co-workers would be more comfortable with a cooler setting.
