Choice-architecture category and intervention techniques | Based on the taxonomy of Münscher, Vetter & Scheuerle (2015) the interventions were sorted into three choice-architecture categories with nine techniques: (A) Decision information (1) translate information (e.g. framing techniques and simplification of information), (2) make information visible (e.g. using feedback techniques and presenting external information), (3) provide social reference point (e.g. referring to a descriptive norm or to an opinion leader) (B) Decision structure (1) change choice defaults (e.g. opt-in, opt-out techniques or prompted choice), (2) change option-related effort (e.g. financial or physical effort), (3) change range or composition of options (e.g. changing categories or grouping of options), (4) change option consequences (e.g. changing social consequences of the decision or connecting it to benefit or cost) (C) Decision assistance (1) provide reminders (e.g. making information more salient or easier to access), and (2) facilitate commitment (e.g. supporting self or public commitment to choice). | |
