Nudges that fail (2017, background): “(3) People might show reactance to some nudges, rejecting an official effort to steer because it is an official effort to steer (Arad & Rubinstein, 2015; Duncan et al., 2016; Hedlin & Sunstein, 2016).”
The ethics of nudging: An overview (2020, background): “But opaqueness is neither sufficient nor always necessary for manipulation (Sunstein, 2016, p. 104).”
Exemplars and nudges: Combining two strategies for moral education (2018, unknown): “If the generic aim of nudge strategies is to structure the subject’s choice context to improve the quality of her choices, then the complementary role of moral exemplars is to enhance this ‘navigability’ (Sunstein, 2016, p. 44).”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “13 But see Sunstein (2016) for some thoughts on the ethics of nudging, especially (ibid.”
Nudging and Boosting: Steering or Empowering Good Decisions (2017, background): “Ideally, these permanently change the cognitive and behavioral repertoire by adding a new competence or enhancing an existing one, creating a “capital stock” (Sunstein, 2016, p. 32) that can be engaged at will and across situations.”
When to consider boosting: some rules for policy-makers (2017, background): “They can be, in the terms of Sunstein (2016), ‘educative nudges’ (e.g. disclosure requirements, warnings, labels or reminders) or ‘non-educative nudges’ (e.g. default rules, ordering of items on a menu or website or cafeteria design).”
A worldwide consensus on nudging? Not quite, but almost (2018, unknown): “Fourth, citizens object to manipulation, but they define it quite narrowly, as in the cases of visual illusions to reduce speeding (Jung & Mellers 2016) and subliminal advertising (Reisch & Sunstein 2016).”
