Editing Nudge Theory (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Nudge theory is understood through '''Defaults''' and '''Choice Design'''.

'''1. The Power of the Default''':
Humans are lazy (or "Efficient"). We usually stick with whatever is already chosen.
* '''Example''': In countries where you are automatically an "Organ Donor" unless you "Opt-Out," rates are nearly 100%. In countries where you must "Opt-In," rates are often below 15%. The only difference is the default setting.

'''2. Simplification (The Path of Least Resistance)''':
If you make a task easier, more people will do it.
* '''Example''': Putting healthy snacks near the cash register and unhealthy ones in the back of the store. No one is "Banned" from buying junk food, but the healthy option becomes the "Nudge."

'''3. Social Norms (The Peer Pressure Nudge)''':
We want to "Fit In."
* '''Example''': Hotels often put signs in rooms saying "Most guests reuse their towels." This is much more effective than saying "Please save the environment," because it uses the power of Social Proof.

'''The Fly in the Urinal''': One of the most famous nudges in the world. Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam etched a tiny image of a fly into the center of the urinals. This gave men something to "Aim" at, reducing "Spillage" by 80% and lowering cleaning costs.
