Transparency / Open Science (continued)Reporting Standards / Design and Analysis Transparency
The following questions concern the principle of transparent and full reporting and thus should be implemented by each empirical study.

63
Does the manuscript fully describe the _measures of interest_ (e.g., pro-environmental attitude) and their _operationalizations_ (e.g., a questionnaire measuring pro-environmental attitude)?
64
What kind of data and analysis does your submission present?
65
Please describe the kind of data and analysis used in your submission
66

68
Were any observations / participants / data excluded from the analyses?
69
Does the manuscript report the total number of excluded observations?
70
Does the manuscript report all data exclusion criteria?
71

75

Does the manuscript report all exact *p* values, effect sizes, and 95% CIs for inferential tests?
76
###Reporting standards for qualitative work
77
Qualitative studiesDoes the manuscript provide the general context for the study (when data were collected, sites of data collection)?
If relevant for the study, this may include further information (e.g., geographical / historical / cultural information; power structure; norms; economic conditions; researchers’ perspectives).
78
Does the manuscript provide a rationale for how they recruited (e.g., face-to-face, email) and selected their study participants (e.g., purposive or convenience sampling)?
79
Does the manuscript describe the rationale for decision to halt data collection (e.g., saturation)?
80

84
###Reporting standards for mixed methods work
85
Mixed methods studiesDoes the manuscript describe the type of mixed methods design (e.g., convergent design, explanatory sequential design, and exploratory sequential design) using a major reference in the field?
86
Does the manuscript provide a rationale or justification for the need to collect both qualitative and quantitative data and the added value of integrating the results?
87
Do the Methods and Results sections devote separate sections to each analysis (quantitative, qualitative, mixed)?
88
Does the Result section indicate how the qualitative and quantitative results were “mixed” or integrated (e.g., discussion; tables of joint displays; graphs)?
89
Do the Methods and Results sections (of the manuscript consistently mirror the type of mixed methods design in terms of sequence (i.e., if quantitative or qualitative came first)?
90
These requirements may not be applicable to all research designs and studies. If you believe your study should be exempted from a reporting requirement, please explain why.
91
