Learn how to change behavior. The world's largest collection of resources and data on behavioral science.

Strategies drawn from insights about human behavior, proven to solve real world problems.

We conducted a systematic overview of reviews of scholarly evidence on scale up, and 11 practice interviews with behaviour science researchers and practitioners to identify the factors and activities that influence the scale up of behaviour change interventions. This research underpinned the development of the scale up toolkit.

Recently I was searching for a research case study on specific nudge when I came across a database of nudges by Mark Egan from the University of Stirling titled ' Nudge Database 1.2'. I was quite fascinated by it as it documents over 100 research studies, papers, and case studies. I got what I was looking for, however, the database is in a PDF format. So I took out some time last week and converted it into a searchable Notion database. The database is shared below, arranged by categories of the 'nudging' research papers or case studies. Just to be clear this is all taken as it is from the Nudge Database 1.2 PDF and not my own research in any way.

This report follows one published in 2018 by the World Bank’s Mind, Behavior, and Development Unit (eMBeD). Behavioral Science Around the World: Profiles of 10 Countries looked at how the earliest adopters of behavioral science have integrated behaviorally informed policy across government programs—from health care to taxation, education to sanitation, and beyond.

This report aims to capture both the spread and form of behavioral science in 10 countries, selected based on being innovators or early adopters in the field: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Peru, Singapore, the U.S., and the UK.

These are results from a global survey of Behavioral Teams lead by Stephen Wendel (thanks Steve!). As the image shows, there are now teams spread out all over the world–something that is wonderful to see. Still, it also shows the dominance of the US and UK markets. It tells me that we are still a very young field and that the places who's had a headstart currently leads the way. I predict (and hope) we'll see more spread in the coming decade. This is just one of the many fascinating insights from this survey. I recommend you check it out. For the full report, click here. Bonus! ⭐️ For more understanding of what is happening in the field around the world, check out World Bank's recent report linked below.

This is the complete collection of all online courses related to Behavioral Design, including courses in Behavioral Economics, Behavioral Science, Gamification and Digital Psychology + much more.

Why do you do what you do? Why do you feel motivated to do some things, but not others? How does your environment, experiences and personality impact your motivation? Can you change your motivation and alter the direction of your life?

I keep forgetting my Biases, Fallacies and Heuristics. Oh there's a tool for that...

For those with little or a lot of experience alike.

This fantastic guide called "Everybody Wants to Belong" aims to tackle and leverage social norms in behavior change programming. This is deeply needed, especially since social norms is both one of the most complex concepts in the field and one of the most difficult behavior change techniques to get right. Big credit to UNICEF and University of Pennsylvania, Social Norms Group (PENN SoNG) for putting this guide together.

UNEP, in collaboration with BIT and GRID-Arendal, published this behavioral science and nudge theory book last week containing 40 ready-made green nudges – simple measures that make it easier to make green choices. These nudges can be applied in many areas, including university campuses which can deploy them to encourage returning students and staff to embrace more sustainable behaviors.

This guide created by Ideas42 and Nudge4 provides solutions to the behavioral barriers preventing students from succeeding beyond high school and synthesizes evidence-based behavioral strategies to improve college access and success.

New framework for social and behavior change programming from a great collaboration between the PENN SoNG team and UNICEF.

This is a fun initiative where I, and other behavioral scientists have joined together to compile a playlist of over 5 hours of songs from a diverse range of genres that each, in some way or another, exemplify the principles of behavioral science. These songs are organized by the categories of the BEHAVIOR Framework (a mnemonic for remembering different behavior change strategies: Bias, Ego, Habits, Appeal, Visceral, Incentives, Others, Reminders).

This toolkit aims to provide practitioners and policymakers with a step-by-step process for analyzing a policy problem, building strategies, and developing behaviorally informed interventions.
