What actually drives the science of changing human behaviour?
In short: How do we influence habits and sustain environmental change? This Royal Institution Q&A brings together psychological experts to answer audience questions on the mechanisms of behavioral intervention.
The panel explores the efficacy of different interventions and the role age plays in how people change. The discussion features Nick Chater, a highly decorated psychological researcher and editor for journals such as Cognitive Science and Psychological Science, alongside Toby Park, who directs energy and sustainability efforts at the Behavioural Insights Team. Park's work spans diverse areas including food consumption, water conservation, and sustainable transport.
Chaired by Nature Human Behaviour's Chief Editor, Stavroula Kousta, the session filmed on 17 July 2019 looks toward the future of the field and what the science of behavior change might look like in a decade.
