Tip of the Mitt
The Science of “Nudging”
Nudge theory (or Nudge) is a concept in behavioral science, political theory
and economics which argues that positive reinforcement and indirect
suggestions to try to achieve non-forced compliance can influence the
motives, incentives and decision making of groups and individuals alike, at
least as effectively – if not more effectively - than direct instruction, legislation,
or enforcement.[1]
