Nudge: The Final Edition

Nudging - a behavioral economics developed technique for ensuring compliance and solidifying target engagement. Getting tired of the constant text messages and emails? You’re being #Nudged in a calculated manner. The scientists have developed a comms model using digital tools to ensure you make that doc’s appointment, or don’t miss that sale. I’ll be posting more about this irritating trend in future toots. Stay tuned. #Nudge #Nudges #BehaviorialEconomics #compliance #ComplianceEngineering

3/🧵Consumer nudges - some examples of techniques employed by corporations to engineer behavior in target populations:

1. Anchoring
Showing an expensive “premium” product first makes mid-tier products feel affordable.
2. Subscription retention
Friction design
“Cancel” buried behind multiple screens or confirmation steps exploits status quo bias.
3. Digital engagement
Variable rewards
Social media “likes” and notifications use dopamine-triggering intermittent reinforcement.
4. Privacy compliance (ironically)
Framing & overload
Privacy notices are long and confusing; most users click “Agree” by default.
5. Email & SMS text nudges to complete purchases, participate in promotions, or claim discounts

2/🧵In our modern, data-driven #economy consumer compliance (that’s us folks) is being ENGINEERED through the application of “Behavioral Economics” (see previous post) by corps, govt, banks, Drs & clinics, and NGOs. This is a widely misunderstood
& underreported predatory manipulation. Here’s what it looks like:

With AI and real-time data analytics, behavioral economics has evolved into precision behavioral design:
• Real-time monitoring of user behavior (cookies, wearables, apps)
• Predictive algorithms determining the optimal nudge per person
• “Dark patterns” in UI/UX steering behavior invisibly
• Governments using social credit or reputation systems (e.g., China) blending surveillance + behavioral nudging
This hybrid of behavioral economics + data science + persuasive design is becoming the new architecture of compliance in both democratic and authoritarian systems. #BehavioralEconomics #economics #psychology #nudge #compliance #SocialScience

Let’s talk about “behavioral economics” - the academic discipline that focuses on the consumer decision making (behavior/psychology) involved in purchasing (economics) and more broadly “compliance” environments. The basic ideas behind #BehavioralEconomics emerged decades ago, but the discipline itself became entrenched in the mid-1990s. BE gave us the #nudge - you know, those prompts we get every day via text, email & phone from retailers (you’ve got 1 item waiting in your cart for check-out), our doctors for appointments, the bank, even grocery stores that place fast moving or promoted items at eye level on the shelf.

Nudge is a concept in behavioral science, political theory and economics which proposes designs or changes in decision environments as ways to influence the behavior and decision making of groups or individuals—in other words, it's "a way to manipulate people's choices to lead them to make specific decisions". #economics #manipulation #compliance #consumers

v1.3 of nudge-auto-updater is out!

@plantvibes added functionality that lets you specify days you _don't_ want Nudge enforcement deadlines to fall on, and nudge-auto-updater will plan around them. Useful for change windows, weekends, and public holidays.
Inspired by macOS 15.2, the two-week enforcement of which would have landed on Christmas Day :)

Release is here: https://github.com/jc0b/nudge-auto-updater/releases/tag/v1.3

"… longitudinal analysis suggests that changing to an opt-out default does not increase organ donation rates.
Switching from an opt-in to an opt-out default did not result in an increase in donation rates when averaged across countries. Moreover, the opt-out default did not lead to even a gradual increase in donations"

Will this one simple trick get people to think more reflectively? As usual, no.

In two experiments in multiple countries, a brief scientific article describing the benefits of intuitive or reflective thinking didn't impact performance on tests of intuitive and reflective thinking.

Close to 300,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon having been driven out of of their country by israel forces.

Britain is spending at least £18.5-million on “stability” programmes in Lebanon in part to instil “responsibility amongst those living within the Palestinian camps” which are described as “volatile communities”.

The effectiveness of nudges is being hotly debated as governments apply behavioral insights to #PublicPolicy. However, some have portrayed nudges as “psychological tricks” which is a misunderstanding of how they work & their potential. Multiply even small positive effects of low-cost nudges by millions of people, and there’s an easy case to make for the value of nudges that only change a small percentage of behavior.

Op het moment, dat (in de VS) de naam gegeven aan een "hurricane" overeenkomt met de eerste letter van jouw voornaam, dan ben je veel, heel veel (260%!) meer geneigd om geld te doneren aan een actie voor de slachtoffers. Ik suggereer toekomstige rampen "Noah" of "Sanne" te noemen 😉
