Digital Nudging: Altering User Behavior in Digital Environments

Individuals make increasingly more decisions on screens, such as those on websites or mobile apps. However, the nature of screens and the vast amount of information available online make individuals particularly prone to deficient decisions. Digital nudging is an approach based on insights from behavioral economics that applies user interface (UI) design elements to affect the choices of users ...

For example, scheduling policies at many centers are geared toward maximizing system utilization, while users are motivated only by the desire to produce scientific results. Neither of these motivating forces directly relates to the comm...

We also found that most users not only tend to use simple query structures (e.g. one search term) and very few operations per session but they also reduce the compl...
