UX designers are great at designing products that are enjoyable and easy to use. We excel at ensuring people can do something. But what about designing so people will do something?

For this, we might look to the field of behavioral economics, which draws from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and economics to explain and potentially influence human behavior. Initiatives from governments, NGOs, and marketing professionals are now commonly grounded in behavioral economics research. Can UX designers also draw inspiration from the field?

In this talk, Jonathan Mann will provide a brief overview of a framework for understanding behavioral economics. He’ll then present a case study from PayPal where he collaborated with Robert Cialdini, an innovator and best-selling author in the field, and his associates. This collaboration resulted in a strategy for nudging customer behavior in a manner that led to significant profit. We’ll then have an interactive discussion, including the question of ensuring that your behavioral nudges are ethical.
