Some of these effects or concepts can be positive, whereas others may end up neutralising the effect of any nudge, or worse, having a negative impact:
Licensing effects
Compensating effects
Positive spillover effects
Displacement effects
Systemic effects or what we are calling ‘nudge fatigue’167weinreichA Guide to the “Nocebo Effect,“ and How It Impacts Your Wellness - InsideHook14843952023-09-07T22:37:33ZZBut this deluge of information — in which you are naturally very invested — can also prove overwhelming and unhelpful. We’re big fans of brands like WHOOP and Oura, and regularly encourage readers to dig through Apple’s Health app…but you need to be honest with yourself.
If fitness tracking is psychologically increasing your feelings of inadequacy and physically increasing your perception of pain, it’s not worth it. At the least, it’s going to torpedo your performance (at work, in workouts, etc.)167weinreichDeceptive patterns - hall of shame14142662023-04-24T11:14:47ZZ167weinreichThe distributional effects of nudges | Nature Human Behaviour9585642021-11-10T12:51:09ZZ167weinreichIt’s My Life: Making Meaningful Choices7445242021-07-28T08:35:09ZZThe following is from Dr. Bucher’s forthcoming book, Engaged: Designing for Behavior Change.

Furthermore, a large philosophical literature has emerged on the ethical considerations on nudging human behaviour that has presented key challenges for the area, but is regularly omitted from discussion of policy design and administration. We present and discuss FORGOOD, an ethics framework that synthesizes the debate on the ethics of nudging in a memorable mnemonic. It suggests that nudgers should consider seven core ethical dimensions: Fairness, Openness, Respect, Goals, Opinions, Options and Delegation. The framework is designed to capture the key considerations in the philosophical debate about nudging human behaviour, while also being accessible for use in a range of public policy settings, as well as training.167weinreichBehavioral Economics’ Latest Bias: Seeing Bias Wherever It Looks - Bloomberg2771502020-01-16T22:11:51ZZ167weinreichTools and Ethics for Applied Behavioural Insights: The BASIC Toolkit - en - OECD2731402019-12-16T09:45:21ZZ167weinreichCass Sunstein’s Bill of Rights for Nudging | The Mandarin2695772019-10-28T21:30:27ZZ167weinreich(3) (PDF) Nudging with Care: The Risks and Benefits of Social Information2655812019-07-26T13:42:13ZZ167weinreichDark Patterns at Scale: Findings from a Crawl of 11K Shopping Websites2536812019-06-26T18:51:30ZZ167weinreichWhen a Nudge Backfires: Using Observation with Social and Economic Incentives to Promote Pro-Social Behavior2534322019-06-23T20:27:06Z2019-06-23T13:27:18Z167weinreichSludge Audits by Cass R. Sunstein :: SSRN2534282019-06-23T20:12:58ZZConsumers, employees, students, and others are often subjected to “sludge”: excessive or unjustified frictions, such as paperwork burdens, that cost time or money; that may make life difficult to navigate; that may be frustrating, stigmatizing, or humiliating; and that might end up depriving people of access to important goods, opportunities, and services. Because of behavioral biases and cognitive scarcity, sludge can have much more harmful effects than private and public institutions anticipate. To protect consumers, investors, employees, and others, firms, universities, and government agencies should regularly conduct Sludge Audits to catalogue the costs of sludge, and to decide when and how to reduce it. Much of human life is unnecessarily sludgy. Sludge often has costs far in excess of benefits, and it can have hurt the most vulnerable members of society.167weinreichNudging out support for a carbon tax | Nature Climate Change2534212019-06-23T19:34:41ZZHowever, nudges aimed at reducing carbon emissions could have a pernicious indirect effect if they offer the promise of a ‘quick fix’ and thereby undermine support for policies of greater impact.167weinreichConsumers Are Becoming Wise to Your Nudge - Behavioral Scientist2533492019-06-13T09:35:20ZZ167weinreichNUDGING AND CHOICE ARCHITECTURE: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Cass R.

The results were surprising - blind recruitment made things worse for women and members of ethnic minorities. These results illustrate the limits of behavioural economics in action.167weinreichNudging by shaming, shaming by nudging - Nir Eyal761752017-04-27T13:24:56ZZ167weinreichMaking Healthy Choices Easier: Regulation versus Nudging | Annual Review of Public Health761762017-04-27T13:12:50ZZ167weinreichFighting a Hospital Superbug Reveals an Unexpected Benefit764742016-07-14T09:31:56ZZ167weinreichSome Reflections on Design Culture Salon 18: Is Designing for Behaviour Change ‘Creepy’? | Design Culture Salon766042016-01-24T21:42:25ZZ167weinreichThe west's hidden propaganda machine | Eliane Glaser | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk779032013-05-23T05:38:47ZZ167weinreich
