Can tiny nudges dramatically change our behaviour? In this episode, Eva van den Broek and Tim den Heijer explore the subtle yet powerful psychological tools that influence daily decisions, often without us realising it.
You’ll learn:
Why doubling the size of a plate made kids eat 41% more (feat. the Delboeuf illusion).
Why Schiphol Airport painted a fly in the urinals (“The Housefly Effect”).
The role of defaults in organ donation, student loans, and fast food orders.
How loss aversion turned teachers into top performers, improving student grades by 10%.
Why IKEA sell cheap ice cream (feat. the peak-end rule).
