Behavioural Science for Daily Life
Behavioural Science for Daily Life: introduction
Hi, my name is Astrid Groenewegen. This video series will help you unlock the power of behavioural science to help you make better decisions in work, life, and play. Why do people do things? Or don’t they? Why do so many of our good intentions of changing our behaviour fail? How can we shape positive behaviours or help people make better decisions for themselves or the planet we live on? I will debunk the myths about motivation, shed light on the hidden psychology of human decision-making, and foremost, show you how to apply the groundbreaking insights from behavioural science to shape desired behaviours yourself. My goal is to make science practical and show you that some basic understanding of human psychology will give you far more control over successful outcomes than you might have ever thought. So, join me on a journey to learn what most of us didn’t get taught in school. Welcome to Behavioural Science for Daily Life!

How to influence the perception of value?
In this blog post I want to explore the concept of value. I want to argue that Behavioural Design is as much about influencing how people perceive and experience things, as it is about changing actual behaviour. The design of psychological value is in my opinion a great concept to think about how to change perception and experience.
The forces that shape behaviour change
In this blog, I want to explore the different forces that shape behaviour change. Whenever you want to design a strategy that aims at changing behaviour, you have to ask yourself three questions: Macro-forces: What are the trends I can tap into? Meso-forces: What are the needs I can tap into? Micro-forces: What are the biases I can tap into?
