10 pages., Article # 5RIB3, via online journal., We developed a program centered on a social marketing–enhanced home energy education visit to encourage homeowner adoption of specific energy conservation measures. We randomly assigned 170 homeowners to an experimental condition that included energy education before an energy audit or a control condition that included only an energy audit. Participants in the experimental condition adopted more no-cost and low-cost one-time energy conservation changes, such as adjusting refrigerator/freezer temperatures and lowering hot water temperature. However, they did not invest more in home energy renovations or other costly changes, such as replacing inefficient appliances. We discuss implications of this experiment for enhancing effectiveness of Extension-based energy education programs.

AGRICOLA IND 89051564, This study is part of a larger study which examined the development of leadership knowledge and awareness in rural communities. This part of the study focused on what adults learn through participation in community groups. The subjects of this study were 10 members of community groups located in rural counties. All subjects participated in an open-ended, semi-structured interview. Transcripts were analyzed for statements of learning. A total of 259 learning statements in eight categories were identified. The categories are self, internal knowledge, internal skills, external knowledge, external skills, broader skills, special groups and issues, and learning about the learning process. The authors also discuss factors related to learning, including: social factors, local control, democratic procedures, and satisfaction.
