“…In contrast, well-designed "choice architecture" (Dustin et al, 2019) that encourages minimal smartphone use may be desirous. This is, in part, due to the "multiple selves" (Zajchowski et al, 2017) to which OOP staff are catering.…”

Background: Smartphones provide limitless opportunity for communication and access to the world through social media, texting, and numerous applications. As their popularity continues to grow among college students, it is important to understand the various advantages and disadvantages of their use on and off campus. Purpose: We explored the effect of smartphones on goal and objective attainment in the outdoor orientation program (OOP) at Old Dominion University. Methodology/Approach: Using post-experience focus groups, student participants and leaders, faculty and staff mentors, and program administrators were asked their perceptions of the impacts of smartphones on outdoor orientation. Findings/Conclusions: Analyses revealed that smartphones can be both a tool to help accomplish goals (i.e., develop connections) and a distraction to inhibit them. In addition, students shared feelings of security related to having smartphones with them at all times. Implications: These findings inform future research and policies focused on the role of smartphones in collegiate outdoor orientation programming, as well as provide implications for healthy smartphone habits in higher education.

“…O contexto do turismo pode ser considerado um campo fértil para o emprego de nudges (Dolnicar, 2020;Dustin et al, 2019;Tussyadiah, Li & Miller, 2019), não apenas devido à grande quantidade de decisões que turistas devem tomar antes, durante e após a viagem, mas também por conta de sua suscetibilidade a variados vieses ao longo destas decisões (Wattanacharoensil & La-ornual, 2019). A literatura proporciona um conjunto variado de aplicações de nudges, apesar de haver uma ligeira concentração de artigos direcionados para a mudança de comportamento do turista no que se refere à sustentabilidade (Hall, 2013;Juvan & Dolnicar, 2017;Dolnicar, 2020).…”

“…Nesta mesma linha, Högberg et al (2020) apresentam evidências de que nudges hedônicos apoiados por aplicativos de smartphones, assim como incentivos financeiros utilitários, podem igualmente ser meios eficazes de fazerem visitantes de um zoológico se moverem por trajetos previamente desenhados. Dustin et al (2019) sugerem que para isto, profissionais de parques, recreação e turismo devem ser vistos como arquitetos de escolha, responsáveis por conduzir turistas a resultados mais felizes e saudáveis durante suas viagens.…”

As more information became available on the Covid-19 outbreak worldwide,some propositions aimed at containing its spread had their roots in the behavioral sciences. Given the need to change individual behaviors inherent to the type of transmission of the newcoronavirus, it is believed that the theoretical framework on choice architecture and nudges presents itself as an important instru-ment to guide the debate. In this sense, this article aims to identify and categorize the measures taken by tourism companies for their reopening in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. For this, a study of multiple cases is carried out with a hotel, an airport andan international tourist attraction, which had to undergo interventions in their physical structures and processesin order to start oper-ating again. From the analysis, it was found that most of the nudges had techniques of information translation, visibility of external information, decrease of physical effort and provision of reminders. Techniques of social norms and increase of visibility of behavior were not as explored by the compa-nies analyzed in this study. Finally, the work documents a holistic interventionstrategy in tourist be-havior, which combines nudges with financial incentives and harsher forms of paternalism.

“…The Sus Lub project included "hackathons", in which "participants are not asked to rest new products and designs but invited to experiment creatively and adapt new technologies and systems" (Whitehead et al 2018, 178). In such "hackathons" participants have the opportunity to understand better how products and systems work and can be adapted in the future (SuslabNWE 2014); Asking park-goers in the US to think of motivations to engage in recreation and design nudges for themselves and others to keep this engagement (Dustin et al 2019).…”

Combining behavioural and reflective policy tools for the environment: a scoping review of behavioural public policy literature

Recent advances in behavioural and communication sciences generated enthusiasm in public policy for new ways of 'framing' messages and 'nudging' individual behaviour. Wide research and practice of behavioural interventions that have since ensued triggered the rise of a new sub-field called Behavioural Public Policy (BPP). At the same time, nudgesa part and parcel of BPP, have received criticism for being paternalistic, non-democratic and lacking evidence of long-term effectiveness. More recently, the whole project of BPP has come under criticism as construed too narrowly. Critics have argued for a new approach to BPP that is pluralistic, multi-disciplinary and multi-method. One key pillar of it is a 'policy mix'a combined application of behavioural and non-behavioural policy tools. Little is known, however, about 'policy mixes' in practice. This paper conducts a scoping non-exhaustive review of the academic and policy literature published between 2008 and 2020 that discusses policy mixes of behavioural policy tools (defined in this paper as 'nudges' and 'frames') and reflective policy tools (defined in this paper as 'deliberative' events and incentives for individuals to 'think') employed within environmental policy. Two questions guide this review: (a) what are the characteristics of policy mixes in terms of their types, geography, sectors of application, and empirical detail of exposition?; (b) to what extent do existing policy mixes include broader governance aspects of politics, awareness of contextuality and flexibility? By taking stock of experiences of empirical placebased policy mixes of behavioural and reflective tools, we provide insights into a fast-developing body of scholarship and point to ways forward with policy mixes. The paper is also relevant to policy studies beyond the domain of the environment.
