ABSTRACT: Visual prompts are a kind of visual stimulation, through vectors such as text,
pictures, bar charts, and image data which guide and persuade individuals to
implement expected behaviors. In recent years, with the variety of electronic
products and home appliances, the types and usage of batteries are constantly
increasing, and the number of corresponding waste batteries is increasing.
Because some of the waste batteries contain many heavy metals and electrolyte
solutions, which will cause harm to the human body and the ecological
environment, more and more people are paying attention to the pollution of
waste batteries and their disposal. It has been demonstrated that visual
prompts have the effects of protecting the environment. This paper attempts
to study the effects of visual prompts on the recycling behavior of waste batteries
and verify whether visual prompt has a positive effect on the recycling
behavior of waste batteries by using a control group and an experimental
group to compare the experimental methods. The visual prompts were pasted
on the waste battery recycling bin and were carried out by GraphPad Prism in
order to find an economic and effective way to promote people’s recycling
behaviors.
