title = "Framing to reduce present bias in infrastructure design intentions",
abstract = "Infrastructure professionals (N = 261) were randomly assigned to either a future or present-framed project description and asked to recommend design attributes for an infrastructure project. The future-framed condition led professionals to propose a significantly longer infrastructure design life, useful life to the community, and acceptable return on financial investment.",

note = "Funding Information: Here, we examined whether a future orientation, delivered via an online survey and introduced via randomly assigned changes to the word tense in a request for proposals document (see STAR methods ), would elicit professional infrastructure designers to take a longer-term view in their preliminary design concepts for an infrastructure project. The study population was comprised of certified Envision professionals. Envision is a sustainable design framework supported by the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure. The Envision population was chosen because it is comprised of professionals with experience in infrastructure design who, by earning Envision certification, have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing infrastructure sustainability. Because our intervention targets the construal level, we expect, but cannot be sure, that results from this group would extend to professionals lacking a similar commitment to sustainability.
