Nudge Cartography: Mapping the World of Nudges

In this podcast episode, Kurt and Tim interview Linnea Gandhi, a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, about her work on nudge cartography. Nudges are subtle ways to influence behavior, and Linnea's project aims to build a comprehensive map of nudges from scientific studies. The project involves carefully coding and database-building, with the goal of providing a unified view of the world of nudges. Linnea emphasizes the importance of slowing down science to ensure rigorous research and reproducibility. She also discusses the need for generalizable knowledge in the field of behavioral science. The CSS lab at Penn is undertaking this project to create a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers in understanding and applying behavioral science.
