Why people often seem to contradict themselves? Why they believe things they know aren't true? Why they say “Don't do X and then do that very thing? Robert Kurzban explains why. The reason is that the human mind is modular, made up of a large number of parts with different functions. Sometimes these parts conflict with one another.167weinreichTheory of Change Template | Miro14896402024-02-26T11:09:05ZZ167weinreichFree Behavior Design, Innovation and Change Tools - Robert Meza14892942024-01-16T21:24:58ZZFree Behavior Design, Innovation and Change Tools

So said Jason Collins in a recent blog, perhaps somewhat provocatively likening the use of biases as akin to the activity of ancient astronomers who were required to compile an exhaustive number of deviations to retain the broken model of the universe revolving around the earth. Collins challenge is whether the model at the heart of behavioural science is similarly broken.167weinreichPersonas and Behavioral Theories | Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems14843992023-09-07T22:43:45ZZPersonas are a widely used tool to keep real users in mind, while avoiding stereotypical thinking in the design process. Yet, creating personas can be challenging. Starting from Cooper's approach for constructing personas, this paper details how behavioral theory can contribute substantially to the development of personas. We describe a case study in which Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is used to develop five distinctive personas for the design of a digital coach for sustainable weight loss. We show how behavioral theories such as SDT can help to understand what genuinely drives and motivates users to sustainably change their behavior. In our study, we used SDT to prepare and analyze interviews with envisioned users of the coach and to create complex, yet engaging and highly realistic personas that make users' basic psychological needs explicit. The paper ends with a critical reflection on the use of behavioral theories to create personas, discussing both challenges and strengths.167weinreichDeliberate ignorance—a barrier for information interventions targeting reduced meat consumption?: Psychology & Health: Vol 0, No 014843912023-09-07T22:30:50ZZDeliberate ignorance is a potential barrier for information interventions aiming to reduce meat consumption and needs to be considered in future interventions and research.

It provides a canvas to be used when conducting consumer research to evaluate the journey a customer takes from first thought to use of the solution (consumption/job satisfaction). In addition, it enables one to evaluate the four forces of progress at play (push, pull, habits, anxieties) in regards to 'switching behavior'. Finally, one is able to evaluate constraints (internal, external, time-based) that impact the customer journey.167weinreichUnderstanding long-term behaviour change techniques: a mixed methods study14843732023-09-07T22:02:16ZZLong-term behaviour change is essential to many societal and personal challenges, ranging from maintaining sustainable lifestyles to adherence to medical treatment. However, prior research has generally focused on interventions dealing with bounded, present-tense, and discretely measurable behaviour change problems, evaluated via relatively short-term trials. This has led to a skewed prioritisation of behaviour change techniques and left a critical gap in design guidance. Hence, there is an urgent need to (i) examine how behaviour change techniques can be abstractly prioritised and (ii) related to contextual, embodied interventions during long-term behavioural design. We address this need using a Delphi survey method with 12 international experts on behavioural intervention complemented by a reanalysis of over 100 real-world cases. This provides the basis for examining how experts prioritise the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy (BCTT) for the long-term, as well as how this corresponds to real-world long-term interventions. Based on this we provide essential, and as a first, guidance for long-term behavioural design as well as contributing to wider research on how to deal with the demands of long-term behaviour change.167weinreichBehavioural Design Toolkit14843712023-09-07T21:57:13ZZBEHAVIOURAL DESIGN TOOLS.

One of the essential insights from psychological research is that people’s information processing is often biased. By now, a number of different biases have been identified and empirically demonstrated. Unfortunately, however, these biases have often been examined in separate lines of research, thereby precluding the recognition of shared principles. Here we argue that several—so far mostly unrelated—biases (e.g., bias blind spot, hostile media bias, egocentric/ethnocentric bias, outcome bias) can be traced back to the combination of a fundamental prior belief and humans’ tendency toward belief-consistent information processing. What varies between different biases is essentially the specific belief that guides information processing. More importantly, we propose that different biases even share the same underlying belief and differ only in the specific outcome of information processing that is assessed (i.e., the dependent variable), thus tapping into different manifestations of the same latent information processing. In other words, we propose for discussion a model that suffices to explain several different biases. We thereby suggest a more parsimonious approach compared with current theoretical explanations of these biases. We also generate novel hypotheses that follow directly from the integrative nature of our perspective.167weinreichBehavior Institute - The world's largest collection of resources and data on behavioral science.14203652023-05-16T11:24:05ZZThe world's largest collection of resources and data on behavioral science.167weinreichFacilitators and Barriers to Uptake of Community-Based Diabetes Prevention Program Among Multi-Ethnic Asian Patients With Prediabetes13018572023-02-16T09:46:22ZZHere is an interesting way to visualize how to design for behavior using the COM-B Model and the Behavior Change Wheel
If you don't know the Behavior Change Wheel, it is a framework developed by Susan Michie, Robert West and colleagues at UCL
It is comprised of 19 different behavior change frameworks.
At the center sits The COM-B Model:
COM-B is used to look for the barriers or enablers to a behavior
Capability (both physical and psychological)
Opportuntity (both physical and social)
Motivation (both reflective and automatic)
It is a powerful way to analyze what may be stopping your customers or employees or even yourself of making the choices you already wanted to do.
Outside the COM-B model (center of the wheel) sit the Intervention Types - which can include Education, Incentivization, and Training.
As for the example here used in diabetes prevention design:
The wheel has been filled with interventions and ways to deliver the intervention in this example. (I may have done it a bit different, but still a good representation)
It looks at the Patient level - to Increase the patient's awareness of pre-diabetes
It looks at Provider's Level - Improve communication skills, and teachable moments at diagnosis
It looks at System Level - Invitation by physicians as well as social marketing.
This of course is a small example of how the model could help you go from challenge to outcome.167weinreichA guide to using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behaviour change to investigate implementation problems | Implementation Science | Full Text12950162023-02-05T09:02:14ZZImplementing new practices requires changes in the behaviour of relevant actors, and this is facilitated by understanding of the determinants of current and desired behaviours. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was developed by a collaboration of behavioural scientists and implementation researchers who identified theories relevant to implementation and grouped constructs from these theories into domains. The collaboration aimed to provide a comprehensive, theory-informed approach to identify determinants of behaviour. The first version was published in 2005, and a subsequent version following a validation exercise was published in 2012. This guide offers practical guidance for those who wish to apply the TDF to assess implementation problems and support intervention design. It presents a brief rationale for using a theoretical approach to investigate and address implementation problems, summarises the TDF and its development, and describes how to apply the TDF to achieve implementation objectives. Examples from the implementation research literature are presented to illustrate relevant methods and practical considerations.167weinreichFree Frameworks — Aim For Behavior12949312023-01-25T13:16:11ZZRobert Meza Miro boards compiled in one place167weinreichTechniques of Social Influence | The psychology of gaining compliance12947692023-01-02T12:26:05ZZChapter 1|7 pages

Sunstein, Stephen M. Fleming, 202212579272022-08-11T11:42:06ZZWhy people do or do not change their beliefs has been a long-standing puzzle. Sometimes people hold onto false beliefs despite ample contradictory evidence; sometimes they change their beliefs without sufficient reason. Here, we propose that the utility of a belief is derived from the potential outcomes associated with holding it. Outcomes can be internal (e.g., positive/negative feelings) or external (e.g., material gain/loss), and only some are dependent on belief accuracy. Belief change can then be understood as an economic transaction in which the multidimensional utility of the old belief is compared against that of the new belief. Change will occur when potential outcomes alter across attributes, for example because of changing environments or when certain outcomes are made more or less salient.167weinreichA guide to strengthening habits12574822022-08-10T19:18:09ZZTRA has added a layer of thinking to the well-established habit loop – can we think beyond push notifications for cues and think beyond a discount as a reward?

It identifies three factors that need to be present for any behaviour to occur: capability, opportunity and motivation. These factors interact over time so that behaviour can be seen as part of a dynamic system with positive and negative feedback loops. Motivation is a core part of the model and the PRIME Theory of motivation provides a framework for understanding how reflective thought processes (Planning and Evaluation processes) and emotional and habitual processes (Motive and Impulse/inhibition processes) interact at every moment leading to behaviour (Responses) at that moment.167weinreichView of The Development of Effective and Tailored Digital Behavior Change Interventions: An introduction to the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST)11161922022-05-19T14:25:57ZZ167weinreichDesigning Theory-Informed Behavior Change Apps - BehavioralEconomics.com | The BE Hub10982442022-05-09T13:25:29ZZ167weinreichHabit Day 2021 – Full Event - YouTube10641542022-03-30T11:12:43Z2022-03-30T04:13:21ZBonus talks

As described in the video with Peter Smittenaar below, CUBES builds on evidence-based behavioral models that are widely used across sectors and includes drivers that show evidence of changing behavior. It illustrates how adopting a new behavior is a process of stages; at each stage, people are influenced by internal and environmental factors (see Figure 1).
The CUBES framework articulates three critical components of behavior change:
The path toward a target behavior comprises distinct stages of change, progressing from knowledge to intention, action, repetition, and finally, habit.
Perceptual and contextual drivers can act as enablers or barriers that influence each individual, shaping their progression through each stage of change.
Influencers in the form of family and friends, community, and society can affect these drivers, either directly or via media channels.167weinreichCUBES: A practical toolkit to measure enablers and barriers to behavior for effective intervention design10162582022-01-30T10:27:10ZZA pressing goal in global development and other sectors is often to understand what drives people’s behaviors, and how to influence them. Yet designing behavior change interventions is often an unsystematic process, hobbled by insufficient understanding of contextual and perceptual behavioral drivers and a narrow focus on limited research methods to assess them. We propose a toolkit (CUBES) of two solutions to help programs arrive at more effective interventions. First, we introduce a novel framework of behavior, which is a practical tool for programs to structure potential drivers and match corresponding interventions. This evidence-based framework was developed through extensive cross-sectoral literature research and refined through application in large-scale global development programs. Second, we propose a set of descriptive, experimental, and simulation approaches that can enhance and expand the methods commonly used in global development. Since not all methods are equally suited to capture the different types of drivers of behavior, we present a decision aid for method selection. We recommend that existing commonly used methods, such as observations and surveys, use CUBES as a scaffold and incorporate validated measures of specific types of drivers in order to comprehensively test all the potential components of a target behavior. We also recommend under-used methods from sectors such as market research, experimental psychology, and decision science, which programs can use to extend their toolkit and test the importance and impact of key enablers and barriers. The CUBES toolkit enables programs across sectors to streamline the process of conceptualizing, designing, and optimizing interventions, and ultimately to change behaviors and achieve targeted outcomes.167weinreichFull article: An analysis of social marketing practice: Factors associated with success9591412021-12-08T10:46:36ZZ167weinreichPredictors of lapse and relapse in physical activity and dietary behaviour: a systematic search and review on prospective studies9591382021-12-08T10:36:32ZZLow self esteem is the best predictor167weinreichSustaining Behavior Change Conference 2021 Videos9585282021-11-07T20:01:07ZZ167weinreich
