New articles at the BDI

The Behavioural Dynamics Institute is at the forefront of research into behavioural change. In recent weeks, we have been showcasing some of our research.

Dr. Lee Rowland and Gaby van den Berg published their article, ‘In Pursuit of a Contextual Diagnostic Approach to Behavioural Change. They laid out a vision for rigorous, parameter-led research in support of behavioural change campaign design. You can read that here. Also now available is Tom Wein’s response, titled ‘The Perfect and the Possible: Seeking A Frugal Model of Behavioural Change.’

Also newly available on the Forum are Professor Rachel Gibson’s piece, summarizing her research into political engagement and the internet, and an examination of the new advertising campaign by Converse, penned by Tom Wein.
