Many foodborne illness outbreaks originate in food service establishments. We tested two behavioural interventions designed to improve the duration and quality of handwashing. We ran a three-armed parallel trial in a laboratory kitchen, from 7 March to 27 May 2022. Participants were n = 195 workers who handle food. We randomly allocated participants to three groups: Timer – tap-mounted timer that counted seconds while participants washed their hands; Precommitment – agreed to five statements on good hand hygiene before attending the kitchen; and Control. Participants completed a food preparation task under time pressure. Cameras focused on the sink captured handwashing. Outcome measures were number of times participants washed their hands; number of times they washed their hands using soap; number of times they washed using soap and washed the backs of their hands; and mean duration of handwashing attempts using soap. Participants in Timer washed their hands for 1.9 s longer on average than Control (β = 2.20, 95% CI = 0.34-4.06, p = 0.021). Participants in Precommitment washed their hands for 2.5 s longer on average than Control (β = 2.30, 95% CI = 0.33-4.27, p = 0.022). We found no statistically significant differences on any other outcome measure.
许多食源性疾病的爆发都源于餐饮场所。我们测试了两种旨在延长洗手时间和提高洗手质量的行为干预措施。2022 年 3 月 7 日至 5 月 27 日,我们在实验室厨房开展了一项三臂平行试验。参与者为 n = 195 名处理食品的工人。我们将参与者随机分配到三组:定时器组--在参与者洗手时,水龙头安装的定时器以秒为单位计时;预先承诺组--在进入厨房前,同意有关良好手部卫生的五项声明;对照组。参与者在时间压力下完成一项食物准备任务。摄像机对准水槽拍摄洗手过程。结果测量指标包括:参与者洗手的次数;使用肥皂洗手的次数;使用肥皂洗手并清洗手背的次数;使用肥皂洗手的平均持续时间。与对照组相比,定时组的参与者平均洗手时间长 1.9 秒(β = 2.20,95% CI = 0.34-4.06,p = 0.021)。承诺前参与者洗手的平均时间比对照组多 2.5 秒(β = 2.30,95% CI = 0.33-4.27,p = 0.022)。我们没有发现其他任何结果测量上的显著差异。

This study examines how beliefs interact with heterogeneous donation preferences in determining people's donation decisions and choices of revision and observability. We conducted an online experiment eliciting participants’ first-order beliefs, that is, beliefs about an average donor's contribution, with the opportunity of being recognized. We also provided the opportunity for donation revision to a group of randomly selected participants. Our study results show that people's first-order beliefs are positively correlated with their willingness to donate and their actual donations. Moreover, first-order beliefs also interact with people's heterogeneous donation preferences in jointly determining their decisions of donation revision and observability – their tendency to opt in for public recognition. Donors with low first-order beliefs and high donation preferences are most likely to opt in for recognition, but they are unlikely to revise their donations. Donors with high first-order beliefs and low donation preferences are most likely to revise their donations, but they are less likely to choose to be recognized. Donors with low first-order beliefs and low donation preferences display the lowest tendency toward revision and observability.
本研究探讨了信念如何与异质性捐赠偏好相互作用,从而决定人们的捐赠决策以及对修订和可观察性的选择。我们进行了一项在线实验,激发参与者的一阶信念,即对捐赠者平均捐赠额的信念,并使其有机会得到认可。我们还为一组随机抽取的参与者提供了修改捐款的机会。我们的研究结果表明,人们的一阶信念与他们的捐赠意愿和实际捐赠量呈正相关。此外,一阶信念还与人们的异质性捐赠偏好相互影响,共同决定了他们修改捐赠的决定和可观察性--他们选择接受公众认可的倾向。一阶信念低而捐赠偏好高的捐赠者最有可能选择接受认可,但他们不太可能修改自己的捐赠。一阶信念高而捐赠偏好低的捐赠者最有可能修改其捐赠,但他们不太可能选择被认可。低一阶信念和低捐赠偏好的捐赠者对修改和可观察性的倾向最低。

This paper explores the complexities and unintended consequences of conflict of interest (COI) disclosures in various professional settings. It highlights key psychological processes encountered by recipients of such disclosures. Notably, it describes the burden of disclosure effect, which paradoxically reduces trust while increasing compliance due to social pressures, and disclosure's expertise cue, where disclosures inadvertently increase trust and persuasiveness by signalling expertise. The paper also outlines best practices for improving COI disclosures, emphasising the need for external third-party involvement and encouraging deliberation. It concludes that effective disclosure depends not only on how recipients process information but also critically on how the disclosure influences the behaviour of advisors, underscoring the need for a holistic approach to managing COIs that goes beyond mere transparency. A version of this paper was presented as a keynote at the Second Annual International Behavioural Public Policy Conference at the University of North Carolina in September 2023.
本文探讨了各种专业环境中利益冲突(COI)披露的复杂性和意外后果。它强调了此类披露的接受者所遇到的关键心理过程。值得注意的是,它描述了披露负担效应,这种效应在增加合规性的同时却因社会压力而降低了信任度;还描述了披露的专业知识线索,在这种线索下,披露会在不经意间通过发出专业知识信号而增加信任度和说服力。论文还概述了改进公司责任披露的最佳做法,强调了外部第三方参与和鼓励审议的必要性。论文的结论是,有效的信息披露不仅取决于信息接收者如何处理信息,关键还在于信息披露如何影响顾问的行为,这就强调了有必要采取一种超越单纯透明度的整体方法来管理公司责任声明。本文的一个版本已于 2023 年 9 月在北卡罗来纳大学举行的第二届国际行为公共政策年会上作为主题演讲发表。

Similarly to other domains of the social sciences, behavioural science has grappled with a crisis concerning the effect sizes of research findings. Different solutions have been provided to answer this challenge. This paper will discuss analytical strategies developed in the context of computational social science, namely causal tree and forest, that will benefit behavioural scientists in harnessing heterogeneity of treatment effects in RCTs. As a mixture of theoretical and data-driven approaches, these techniques are well suited to exploit the rich information provided by large studies conducted using RCTs. We discuss the characteristics of these methods and their methodological rationale and provide simulations to illustrate their use. We simulate two scenarios of RCTs-generated data and explore the heterogeneity of treatment effects using causal tree and causal forest methods. Furthermore, we outlined a potential theoretical use of these techniques to enrich behavioural science ecological validity by introducing the notion of behavioural niche.
与社会科学的其他领域类似,行为科学也面临着研究结果效应大小的危机。已经提供了不同的解决方案来应对这一挑战。本文将讨论在计算社会科学背景下开发的分析策略,即因果树和森林,这将有利于行为科学家利用随机对照试验中治疗效果的异质性。作为理论和数据驱动方法的混合,这些技术非常适合利用使用随机对照试验进行的大型研究提供的丰富信息。我们讨论了这些方法的特点和它们的方法原理,并提供模拟来说明它们的使用。我们模拟了rct生成数据的两种情况,并使用因果树和因果森林方法探索治疗效果的异质性。此外,我们概述了这些技术的潜在理论用途,通过引入行为生态位的概念来丰富行为科学的生态有效性。

Deception aversion, communal norm violation and consumer responses to prosocial initiatives 欺骗厌恶、违反社区规范和消费者对亲社会倡议的反应

Companies face increasing pressure to adopt social responsibility initiatives while simultaneously providing shareholder value. However, consumers may respond negatively to ‘win-win’ initiatives that benefit society while bringing financial gain to the corporation, producing a backlash effect. Previous researchers have attributed this backlash effect to the violation of a communal relationship norm that companies trigger in consumers when communicating their win-win initiatives. We propose the alternative hypothesis that the backlash derives from people's deception aversion. We find evidence supporting deception aversion in three preregistered studies showing that companies are evaluated negatively when their actions differ from those implied by their stated prosocial policy and not, as predicted by the communal norm violation hypothesis, when they merely earn a profit. Our results suggest that companies should not fear that earning a profit from prosocial activities will carry reputational risk, so long as they are transparent.
企业面临越来越大的压力,需要在提供股东价值的同时采取社会责任举措。然而,消费者可能会对“双赢”的举措做出负面反应,这些举措有利于社会,同时为公司带来经济利益,从而产生反弹效应。之前的研究人员将这种反弹效应归因于公司在传达双赢计划时引发消费者的公共关系规范的违反。我们提出了另一种假设,即这种反弹源于人们对欺骗的厌恶。我们在三个预先注册的研究中发现了支持欺骗厌恶的证据,这些研究表明,当公司的行为不同于其声明的亲社会政策所暗示的行为时,公司会受到负面评价,而不是像公共规范违反假设所预测的那样,当公司仅仅赚取利润时。我们的研究结果表明,企业不应该担心从亲社会活动中获利会带来声誉风险,只要这些活动是透明的。

Boosting vs. nudging sustainable energy consumption: a long-term comparative field test in a residential context 促进与推动可持续能源消耗:在住宅环境下的长期比较现场测试

Abstract Boosts and nudges are two separate types of behavioral public policies, distinguished by the mechanisms through which they operate. We investigated whether this theoretical distinction translates into different effects when instances of these policy types are implemented in the context of energy consumption. In a long-term field randomized controlled trial, we competitively tested boosts against nudges. We found that boosts outperform nudges throughout a seven-month period in a student dormitory setting – both in terms of accumulated energy savings, as well as in keeping consumption consistently low during the experimental period. Furthermore, we explored the processes behind the boosts and nudges through a number of mechanistic markers and showed that the tested interventions indeed are instances of the respective types.
促进和推动是两种不同类型的行为公共政策,其区别在于它们的运作机制。我们研究了当这些政策类型的实例在能源消耗的背景下实施时,这种理论区别是否会转化为不同的效果。在一项长期的现场随机对照试验中,我们对助推和助推进行了竞争性测试。我们发现,在学生宿舍环境中,在长达7个月的时间里,无论是在累积的能源节约方面,还是在实验期间保持低消耗方面,推动都比轻推表现得更好。此外,我们通过一些机制标记探索了推动和推动背后的过程,并表明所测试的干预措施确实是各自类型的实例。

Political expertise, ecological rationality and party cues 政治专长、生态理性和政党线索
Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED Pub Date : 2023-10-23 DOI: 10.1017/bpp.2023.28

Abstract Political scientists have proposed that party cues can be used to compensate for the public's well-documented lack of substantive political knowledge, but some critics have argued that applying party cues is more difficult than assumed. We argue that this debate has proven intractable in part because scholars have used ambiguous normative criteria to evaluate judgments. We use a unique task and clear normative criteria to evaluate the use of party cues in making political judgments among two samples: a sample of state legislators and an online sample of the public. We find that the public sample performs poorly when using cues to make judgments. State legislators make much more accurate judgments on average than even the most attentive segment of the public and are more likely to place less weight on irrelevant cues when making judgments, although there is evidence that both samples performed worse with the inclusion of non-diagnostic cues. We conclude with a discussion of the relevance of the results, which we interpret as showing that party cue use is more difficult than theorized, and discuss some practical implications of the findings.
政治学家提出,政党暗示可以用来弥补公众缺乏实质性政治知识的不足,但一些批评者认为,运用政党暗示比想象的要困难得多。我们认为,这一争论已被证明是棘手的,部分原因是学者们使用了模糊的规范标准来评估判断。我们使用一项独特的任务和明确的规范标准来评估在两个样本中做出政治判断时政党线索的使用:一个是州议员样本,另一个是在线公众样本。我们发现公众样本在使用线索做出判断时表现不佳。州议员做出的平均判断甚至比公众中最细心的部分要准确得多,而且在做出判断时更有可能减少对无关线索的重视,尽管有证据表明,在包含非诊断性线索时,这两个样本的表现都更差。我们最后讨论了结果的相关性,我们将其解释为表明派对线索的使用比理论上更困难,并讨论了研究结果的一些实际意义。

Take up 拿起
Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED Pub Date : 2023-10-04 DOI: 10.1017/bpp.2023.21
Dafna F. Bearson, Cass R. Sunstein
Abstract Why are take up rates incomplete or low when the relevant opportunities are unambiguously advantageous to people who are eligible for them? How can public officials promote higher take up of opportunities? All over the world, these are challenges of the first order. There are three primary barriers to take up: learning costs, compliance costs, and psychological costs. These costs lower the net expected benefit of opportunities, and reduce participation in otherwise advantageous programs. Fully rational agents would consider these costs in their take up decisions, and in light of behavioral biases, such costs loom especially large and may seem prohibitive. Experimental and other evidence suggest methods for reducing the barriers to take up and the effects of behavioral biases. Use of such methods has the potential to significantly increase access to a wide range of opportunities that would increase individual well-being and social welfare.
当相关机会对符合条件的人明显有利时,为什么占用率不完全或低?公职人员如何促进更高的就业机会?在世界各地,这些都是首要的挑战。有三个主要障碍需要克服:学习成本、遵守成本和心理成本。这些成本降低了机会的净预期收益,并减少了对其他有利项目的参与。完全理性的行为者会在做决定时考虑这些成本,根据行为偏见,这些成本显得特别大,似乎令人望而却步。实验和其他证据提出了减少接受障碍和行为偏见影响的方法。使用这些方法有可能大大增加获得各种机会的机会,从而增加个人福利和社会福利。

Fully rational agents would consider these costs in their take up decisions, and in light of behavioral biases, such costs loom especially large and may seem prohibitive. Experimental and other evidence suggest methods for reducing the barriers to take up and the effects of behavioral biases. Use of such methods has the potential to significantly increase access to a wide range of opportunities that would increase individual well-being and social welfare.","PeriodicalId":29777,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Public Policy","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135591959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
