Behavioral mechanisms uncovered: the causal effects of service experience design on green consumption via cognitive-affective dual processing.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: With the rise of eco-friendly purchasing trends, understanding the mechanisms that drive consumers' sustainable behaviors has become increasingly important. This study investigates how service design influences sustainable consumption through two psychological pathways: ecological consciousness and affective bonding. Methods: Using survey data from 582 Chinese urban customers in eco-retail and food service contexts, a multi-component experience framework was developed. Mediation regression analysis was employed to examine how different dimensions of service design affect consumers' green consumption tendencies. Results: The empirical results indicate that three service experience dimensions-environmental perception, process facilitation, and interactive responsiveness-significantly enhance consumers' green consumption tendencies. Furthermore, environmental awareness and emotional connection exert stable partial mediating effects along the influence pathways, jointly forming a dual psychological mechanism characterized by parallel cognitive and affective drivers. Discussion: These findings demonstrate that experiential service frameworks can shape sustainable consumption decisions by simultaneously activating cognitive recognition and emotional attachment, providing strategic implications for enterprises seeking to promote sustainability-oriented consumer engagement.
