How can you use defaults to nudge people towards desirable behavior?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

How can you use defaults to nudge people towards desirable behavior? This is a question that many economists, policymakers, and marketers have explored in the field of behavioral economics. Behavioral economics is the study of how human psychology and emotions influence economic decisions and outcomes. One of the key insights of behavioral economics is that people often rely on mental shortcuts, biases, and heuristics to make choices, especially when they face complex or uncertain situations. Sometimes, these shortcuts can lead to suboptimal or irrational choices that go against their own interests or values. This is where nudges come in.

1 What are nudges?

Nudges are subtle changes in the way options are presented or framed that can influence people's behavior without restricting their freedom of choice. Nudges can be based on various principles, such as social norms, incentives, feedback, or salience. However, one of the most powerful and widely used nudges is the default option. The default option is the option that is automatically selected or pre-filled unless the person actively chooses otherwise. For example, when you sign up for a new online service, you might see a checkbox that says "I agree to receive promotional emails" that is already checked by default. Unless you uncheck it, you are giving your consent to be contacted by the service provider.

Nudges are subtle cues or suggestions that can influence people's decisions without explicitly forcing them to choose one way or another. They are based on insights from behavioral economics and psychology, and can be used to encourage positive behaviors in various contexts, such as saving money, making healthier choices.

A “cutucada” como op??o padr?o na aceita??o dos Termos do Contrato é a forma mais eficiente. (LINK CONCORDA). No entanto, é importante lembrar que a concordancia com os termos de um contrato deve ser uma decis?o consciente e voluntária. Neste sentido é importante que a op??o fique disponivel somente ao final da Leitura ( Rolagem). As cláusulas contratuais que s?o partes determinantes para a qualidade e o cumprimento tenham sido aceitas (Lidas). Garantindo a Transparência e o comum Acordo.

2 Why are defaults effective?

Defaults are effective because they exploit several psychological phenomena that affect how people make decisions. First, defaults create a status quo bias, which is the tendency to stick with the current situation rather than change it. People tend to perceive the default option as the norm, the recommendation, or the most popular choice, and they might feel reluctant to deviate from it. Second, defaults reduce the cognitive effort and time required to make a choice. People often prefer to avoid making complex or difficult choices, especially when they have limited information, attention, or motivation. Defaults provide a convenient and easy way to make a decision without having to weigh the pros and cons of each option. Third, defaults can trigger a loss aversion effect, which is the tendency to value losses more than gains. People might perceive switching from the default option as a potential loss, and they might need a strong reason or incentive to overcome this feeling.

A inadimplência no Brasil é efetiva porque é cultural. A cada 4 entre 10 consumidores est?o endividados. O consumismo é incentivado. ( n?o é o problema). O problema está na educa??o financeira que deveria ser matéria integrante dos currículos.

3 How can you use defaults to nudge behavior?

Defaults can be used to nudge people towards desirable behavior in various domains, such as health, finance, environment, or social welfare. For example, you can use defaults to increase the participation rate in organ donation, retirement savings, or recycling programs. You can do this by setting the default option as the one that aligns with the desired behavior, such as opting in to donate organs, saving a certain percentage of income, or separating waste. This way, you can leverage the status quo bias, the cognitive ease, and the loss aversion effect to encourage people to adopt the default option, unless they have a strong preference or reason to opt out. However, you should also make sure that the default option is transparent, ethical, and beneficial for the people involved, and that they have the option and the information to change it if they want to.

4 What are some examples of defaults in action?

Defaults have been successfully used to nudge people towards desirable behavior in many real-world scenarios. For example, when Illinois changed its organ donation system to an opt-out model in 2003, the organ donor registration rate increased from 38% to 60% within a year. In 2006, the UK government introduced a default pension scheme called NEST, and the pension participation rate among eligible workers rose from 42% to 73% in four years. In 2008, San Francisco implemented a default recycling program, and achieved an 80% diversion rate of waste from landfills within two years.

5 What are some challenges and limitations of defaults?

Defaults are not a one-size-fits-all solution to all behavioral problems. They have some challenges and limitations that need to be taken into account. For instance, the framing and wording of the options, the order and number of the options, and the context and timing of the choice can all influence how people perceive and evaluate the default option and the alternatives. Additionally, ethical and moral dilemmas may arise when defaults involve sensitive or personal issues such as health, privacy, or consent. Defaults should be designed and implemented with respect, transparency, and accountability. Moreover, they can have unintended or negative consequences such as crowding out intrinsic motivation or creating complacency. It is important to evaluate and monitor defaults regularly and adjust or remove them if they are not effective or desirable.
