Individuals exert less effort when their efforts are pooled with those of a group relative to when efforts are individually identifiable. Research on this phenomenon, termed social loafing, has not examined potential impacts in the domain of pro-environmental engagement. The present study tested whether social loafing weakens effort exerted when individuals brainstorm solutions for environmental problems. In an online environment (Zoom), participants were randomly assigned to brainstorm solutions to environmental problems either independently and privately (alone condition) or collectively and publicly (group condition). Effort exerted was operationalized on objective indices (e.g., number of words written, number of pro-environmental practices generated) and on a content-coded subjective index (thoroughness of responses). Individuals in the group condition scored lower on most effort indices relative to the alone condition, especially when the group was large. Results did not support dispositional moderation of effort exerted, likely due to measurement limitations.
