@uclaanderson @UCLAHealth
.@silvia_saccardo and @hengchen_dai find that interventions effective in past field work improve COVID-19 booster uptake, but those deemed effective in surveys measuring intentions or predictions do not.

May the force of double #FreshStart be with you! My #2024NewYear resolution is a SMART goal & uses planning prompt, (kid-made) reminder, commitment device, and emergency reserve! @katy_milkman @jason_riis #behavioralscience
When January 1st falls on a Monday it’s a double fresh start. Read about the science of New Year’s resolutions and the broader phenomenon they represent in this pair of research papers by @hengchen_dai, @jason_riis and yours truly. #NewBeginnings2024

Offering pre-commitment does not always promote the adoption of recommended behaviors. Its impact depends on the way pre-commitment is offered and how people interpret the offer. Thanks to the amazing @joey_reiff who led the team to uncover these insights!

My field experiments w/ @joey_reiff @janagallus et al. suggest trust in choice architects (& inferences about their intentions) matters.

@TimothyRRyder @OmarMinayaFan @CashErrthing @jeffpaternostro @craigcalcaterra @jaseidler @MarkASimonSays @enosarris @greg_prince Lovely to see my study appearing in this conversation. Re Tim’s comment, my analysis controls for how many times a pitcher has previously encountered a batter. This to some extent addresses the concern about lack of familiarity between pitchers and batters.
