What is nudging? What other theories are used to analyze wellbeing reflected in product?
Within the field of positive psychology, the concept of "nudging" is known as the positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions to try to achieve non-forced compliance. Nudging also can influence the motives, incentives, and decision making of an individual. The pneumonic MINDSPACE: (messenger, incentives, norms, defaults, salience, priming, affect, commitment, and ego), is used as a method of nudging an individual to behave in a certain matter without being forced. For example, social technology, like sticker focusing school toilets and public loveseat, reinforce and suggest a behavior without using direct force. Another example of nudging includes gamification, which is the addition of gaming elements to life in order to nudge the behaviors and thoughts of people in a specific direction. In the culture cycle, people, place, and products influence different cultures and ways to achieve wellbeing.
With the birth of our second study group in positive psychology, we created a group contract. We will not procrastinate, will use Facebook efficiently, agree on meet times, bring study snacks, work hard, and do good. Each of our new member has important strengths to contribute to the Dream Team @PositivePsych.
