Saw the brilliant #DrMattWinning yesterday (climate policy professional, and comedian!):
When folk ask 'are we screwed?' they want to hear 'Yes' or 'No' - meaning either it's too late for them to do anything, or they don't need to bother. A better answer is 'That depends what you/we do about it' #behaviourchange #climateaction #climatebreakdown #letsdosomething

@lyndamerry484 yet another 'technological' solution, when we just need to stop pumping it into the atmosphere. We need #behaviourChange.

Talk to the Elephant: Design Learning for Behavior Change by Julie Dirksen, 2024

What do you do when your learners know what to do but still aren't doing it?
Training is created with the goal of changing learners' behaviors, but anyone who has created learning experiences knows that there's a big gap between knowing and doing.

Hey #Bristol & #SouthWest UK folk who work in any form of #BehaviourChange and #SocialMarketing #communications....

Would you be interested in an informal monthly meetup in a cafe/pub/other space to chat, swap ideas, stories and "network"?

I'm pondering on starting something up in the city and trying to gauge interest...

If you're wondering, this isn't an idea solely for academics or those 100% engaged in #SocialGood agency work.

There are loads of folk who work to change behaviours - #NHS communicators, #LocalGovernment folk, #charity folk etc - who might not class themselves as 'behaviour change' types, but who nevertheless are working to create change.

Social Marketing practice has, at an academic level, often missed these practitioners out - so I want to change that!

Let me know what you think and maybe we can gather!

@SecurityWriter @flargh @grammargirl

I am pretty sure it wasn't entirely disproved (I am a #socialmarketing/ #behaviourchange geek!). However the initial effects were over stated.

I think that the problem was that so many people/agencies saw this cheap thing which had been reported to work amazingly, and deployed it everywhere. Positive reporting bias held back opportunities to understand what does actually work.

Nudge is part of a blended strategy, a tool in the box etc. In terms of road safety (I worked in this area for 5 years), nudge needs to be backed up with engineering and enforcement otherwise it's not going to deliver the best results.

@ChristophB I find your profile very interesting, in particular the relationship between #cognitivescience and #eating. I have a personal (#t2d) and academic interest in #behaviourchange techniques... drop me a line if interested.
