@JustinChao1127 Good luck! Is the restoration project close to campus?

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@GahaganAmelie @LieselHans We’re so close to the end! This has been such a great summer and I’m feeling good about everything we’ve accomplished!

Another big takeaway is that social comparisons can be powerful in nudging behavior, but they tend to work better with high-consumption households. Also, descriptive norms on their own can cause boomerang effect - those injunctive norms are crucial #ENVIR491

One big takeaway from my research is that defaults play massively into behavior! Most people tend to go with the status quo, so just switching something from opt-in to opt-out, for example, can have a massive impact on whether a desirable outcome is reached or not #ENVIR491

@GahaganAmelie This looks perfect for your research. I love it when I come across the exact right source

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@enviranna @oliviatjohnson An automatic extra week would definitely make me breathe a little easier!

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

I also want to thank @GahaganAmelie for being such a great internship partner! She’s really helped me rally as we get close to the end of the quarter #ENVIR491

Fixing leaks is one of the most impactful actions you can take to prevent water waste. In a single day, a running toilet can waste as much water as taking 15 showers. Find videos, tips, and tools at https://t.co/DpXWxoMvLf

I want to take a moment to thank @SeattleSPU for all of their help this summer. The behavior change team hosted a great site visit and provided so many resources. Plus, I got to participate in a Leak Sweep (who knew toilet talk was so important?) #ENVIR491

Shoutout to Dennis Pearson and Lisa A Skumatz for this paper! #ENVIR491 https://t.co/b9TqN3hGQ5

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

Another shoutout to these two! This has been such a useful paper #ENVIR491

[Center for Applied Behavioral Science (CABS) @CABS_MDRC]

Why are take up rates – the percentage of people who are receiving a benefit for which they are eligble – so low? @dafnabearson and @CassSunstein discuss barriers to take up, the effects this has on an individual’s decision making and more here: https://t.co/1MdZWMlW94

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@JustinChao1127 This is absolutely terrible! Is this the first time something like this has happened during your internship?

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@nikiKirihara Wow! Is that a native bug?

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@ErinSchobbe Thank you for sharing this! This is my first time encountering this article and it really opened my eyes

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@KeyaRRoy Thank you for asking this!! The answer is only becoming more and more important…

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@SeattleSPU Which type of behavior change seems more impactful: incremental habit change or intermittent big actions? For example, the difference between someone taking shorter showers, or staying on top of new, efficient utilities for their home? #ENVIR491

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@GahaganAmelie @CassSunstein @R_Thaler Yess, Nudge changed how I look at EVERYTHING

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

@LynTampi The summer is honestly flying by. Good luck on your interviews!

[Rhea @rheashinde2]

Another super helpful resource on social comparisons through utilities. This is an Opower and Puget Sound Energy study! #ENVIR491

This has been a super helpful resource for my research this quarter https://t.co/p9G76nCH2X #ENVIR491
