“…In face-to-face settings, direct looks of a source-as compared to evasive glances-increased compliance with a request (Guéguen & Jacob, 2002), and cues to being watched-like a picture of a pair of eyes-instigated cooperative behavior (Bateson, Nettle, & Roberts, 2006). For example, placing a photo of eyes above a soap dispenser at hospitals increased hand hygiene, as people felt observed and obliged to comply with hygienic standards (e.g., King et al, 2016). Accordingly, eye-gazing and posture of a performer on a screen might instigate similar effects, as they enhance users' illusion of taking part in a real social interaction.…”

Does the experience of parasocial interaction (EPSI) increase the persuasiveness of a video message? In a between-subjects experiment (N = 465) we used bodily addressing to successfully vary EPSI in viewers of three brief video-recorded health messages. This manipulation, however, yielded no significant effect on viewers' perceived persuasiveness of the message and their attitude toward the recommended behavior, and the effect on viewers' felt obligation to comply with the presenter of the message was only marginally significant. However, self-reported EPSI was significantly positively correlated with all persuasion measures, and exploratory analyses yielded significant indirect effects of the manipulation on persuasion via self-reported EPSI. Limitations and implications are discussed.

“…To improve the immersive nature of the scenario being practiced, realism is improved by mimicry of the sights, sounds and tactile sensations participants might experience in a real-world scenario, and scenarios are designed to be emotionally realistic. Smell is rarely used during medical simulations, though it has the potential to alter the behaviour of participants,12 16 to further improve simulator validity,1 3 13 to assist in biographical memory formation9 17 18 and to desensitise trainees to strong malodours 7 8 19. We carried out a systematic review of literature relating to the use of smell in medical simulation training.…”

“…Smells have also been used with success in virtual restorative environments, which use smell to enhance the validity of virtually generated environments, though the therapeutic effects of smells are out with the scope of this review 10 16 18 22. The use of smells to prompt certain behaviours via unconscious mechanisms, such as those shown by Birnbach et al ,12 also has much potential in the clinical setting 16…”

Olfactory stimuli are rarely used in healthcare-related simulation training. Their addition may improve simulator validity, biographical memory formation and coping mechanisms for exposure to strong malodours. Some military simulators already employ smells in simulation training, and the technology and principles may be used to cross over into medical simulation training. We set out to determine if there is evidence to suggest that smell should be routinely incorporated into medical simulation training. We carried out a systematic review of the literature relating to use of olfactory stimuli in medical simulation training, and identified 5 relevant papers. 3 were experimental studies and 2 were observational studies. The results of the experimental studies were mixed, though there were some indications that the use of a clinically relevant smell instead of a congruent background smell may be more effective. We discuss the benefits of the inclusion of smell in simulation training and identify that there are currently few high-quality studies addressing the use of smell in medical simulation training.

Ivo Vlaev is professor of behavioral science at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom. He holds a doctorate in experimental psychology from the University of Oxford. His research advances understanding of human decision making (behavioral economics) and behavior change. It is a convergence of psychology, neuroscience, and economics that achieves results that none of the disciplines could achieve by themselves. Ivo is also coauthor of the U.K. Cabinet Office Mindspace report advising policy makers how to effectively use behavioral insights.Abstract : Many of the most significant challenges in health care-such as smoking, overeating, and poor adherence to evidence-based guidelines-will only be resolved if we can influence behavior. The traditional policy tools used when thinking about influencing behavior include legislation, regulation, and information provision. Recently, policy analysts have shown interest in policies that "nudge" people in particular directions, drawing on advances in understanding that behavior is strongly influenced in largely automatic ways by the context within which it is placed. This article considers the theoretical basis for why nudges might work and reviews the evidence in health behavior change. The evidence is structured according to the Mindspace framework for behavior change. The conclusion is that insights from behavioral economics offer powerful policy tools for influencing behavior in health care. This article provides public administration practitioners with an accessible summary of this literature, putting these insights into practical use. Practitioner Points• Policy makers need to better recognize that we are being influenced and influencing others all the time.• New approaches to health policy incorporating the latest insights from the behavioral sciences offer a potentially powerful set of tools to influence decision making. • Mindspace is a widely used framework for policy that can support policy makers in developing more effective interventions. • There is a growing body of evidence supporting the application of behavioral insights in health policy that is increasingly being drawn from large field studies. • Policy makers need to recognize that "nudge"-type interventions are controversial and may provoke public and political concern.

“Priming” hand hygiene compliance in clinical environments.

Abstract: This is one of the first studies to demonstrate that priming can influence HHC in a clinical setting. The findings suggest that priming interventions could be used to change other behaviors relevant to public health.
