Abstract
Climate change is happening. Therefore, an energy transition is on our hands. The concept of behavioural spillovers between different sustainability domains is used as a tool for policy-makers to accommodate the energy transition. Self-Perception theory, Balance theory and Dissonance theory provide a rationale for behavioural spillovers. Quantitative analysis is used to analyze data sampled via a questionnaire taken in two neighborhoods of the city of Groningen: Reitdiep and Oosterparkwijk. Descriptive statistics point out slight differences in the spatial distribution of sustainability activities. Further analysis found a minor positive spillover between the mobility and household domains, suggesting that an increased behaviour in one can lead to an increased behaviour in the other. This is explained by consistency and identity effects. A lack of spillover effects is explained by different decision modes.
