🎄🎅🎇We wish everyone wonderful holidays and a great start into the new year. Check back in with us in January for more content on the #ScienceofBoosting
📰 In the paper "Nudging and boosting: Steering or empowering good decisions” (Perspectives on Psychological Science) Ralph Hertwig & Till Grüne-Yanoff give a general overview over #boosting and how it relates to #nudging Check it out: researchgate.net/publication/31… #ScienceofBoosting
📽️ What is Boosting? Watch our 3' #video, which explains what #boosting is and gives you a short glimpse into the research field and its applications. Have a look! youtube.com/watch?v=XA7xwf… See also our website: scienceofboosting.org #ScienceofBoosting
A @Google search feature helps you do #lateralreading online i.e. first checking what others say about an unfamiliar source of information: Using the three dots next to a search result you can get additional information about it. Great way to #boost your internet decision-making.

Great way to #boost your internet decision-making. https://t.co/NtJQTXWELT
What does a positive test result actually mean? To understand this you need to apply #BayesTheorem, but that can be cumbersome. Instead learn how to construct #NaturalFrequencyTrees, which make Bayesian inferences easy & obvious. scienceofboosting.org/project/natura… #ScienceofBoosting
When do #boosting interventions work? A key requirement is that the targeted population is motivated & able to improve their decision-making by acquiring a new skill or deepening skills they already have. Learn more here: scienceofboosting.org/faq/#when-do-b… #ScienceofBoosting
📈 Risk literacy #boosts foster people's competences to deal with #risk. Check out fact boxes, natural frequency trees & more on our #boosting website. Explore the risk literacy topic tag to browse though our example library: scienceofboosting.org/boosting-examp… #ScienceofBoosting
#Boosting and the #digitalworld, do these two terms go together? Yes! Digital boosts aim to foster citizens' competences to deal with challenges in the digital world. Check out examples under the digital topic tab in our example library: scienceofboosting.org/boosting-examp… #ScienceofBoosting
Did you know that you can turn #nudges into #boosts using #selfnudging? It's as simple as putting the cookies you can't keep your hands off to the back of the shelf so that they are harder to reach. Learn more: scienceofboosting.org/project/self-n… #ScienceofBoosting #CitizenChoiceArchitect
Both #nudging & #boosting can be effective interventions, but which approach or combination works best depends on the application. As an example, see this comparative test of a boost and a nudge for improving hand hygiene in hospitals: scienceofboosting.org/evaluating-boo… #ScienceofBoosting
Why should I care about #boosting? Can’t we just use #nudges? Boosting holds several key advantages over #nudging, such as #autonomy and #transparency; and it targets competences rather than immediate behavior. Learn more: scienceofboosting.org/faq/#why-shoul… #ScienceofBoosting
In their largest #PREBUNKING campaign on @YouTube, @Google and @Jigsaw achieved over 21 million views in Germany, reaching > 50% of social media users. The campaign demonstrated a significant improvement in recognizing misinformation techniques, with gains of 5%-11% among youth.
Lateral reading is a simple heuristic for online fact-checking: When the source is unfamiliar, leave the page & verify the author/organization & their claims somewhere else. @SHEG_Stanford made a great video on this #boost: youtube.com/watch?v=SHNprb… #ScienceofBoosting
Do you now of a boost that is not featured in our boosting library yet? We may feature it. Complete this form and we will get in touch: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #ScienceofBoosting
Inoculation protects against misinformation (d=0.36) and it increases discernment significantly (d=0.20). The results are from a new meta-analysis of inoculation against misinformation that looked at 42 studies. #ScienceofBoosting
🎮 Game-based inoculation techniques can be more effective against misinformation than graphics. You can learn more about inoculation & other game-based interventions on our website: scienceofboosting.org/project/inocul…
Lateral Reading can help you uncover misleading headlines. Learn more about this simple boost and how you can use it in your everyday life: scienceofboosting.org/project/latera… #ScienceofBoosting
