Since pro-environmental behaviours often involve an investment directed towards the future, we hypothesized that time perspective and especially the consideration of future consequences, traditionally regarded as a personality trait, could be reinforced in a situation of social influence. The goal was to make people more sensitive to long-term consequences of their behaviours, since this sensitivity leads to an increased setting up of pro-environmental behaviours. The results showed an increase of subjects' CFC score after a binding communication procedure. We discuss the practical implications of these results as they relate to communication about environmental issues. %G English %2 https://univ-tlse2.hal.science/hal-00804072/document %2 https://univ-tlse2.hal.science/hal-00804072/file/CFC_binding_communication.pdf %L hal-00804072 %U https://univ-tlse2.hal.science/hal-00804072 %~ SHS %~ UNIV-TLSE2 %~ UNIV-AMU %~ PDPS %~ LPS-AIX
