• Why do we think the way we do?

• Why do we behave the way we do?

• Does “wellness” actually work?

• What about incentives?

• How can we tap intrinsic motivation, too?

• Do outcomes-based designs drive outcomes?

Some questions...

Why do we think the way we do?

wrong mistakes" famous philosopher and baseball

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking COMMON MISTAKES

1. We prefer stories to statistics

2. We seek to confirm

3. We rarely appreciate the role of chance and

coincidence in life

4. We can misperceive our world

5. We oversimplify

6. We have faulty memories

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

1. We prefer stories to statistics • The evidence tells the real story despite our natural

tendencies to hold onto beliefs

– Smoking isn’t bad for your health- I’ve got an uncle who

smoked and lived to be 100

– Listening to Mozart’s music promotes more intelligent

children

– Lots of anecdotes don’t add up to evidence

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

2. We seek to confirm • We look for evidence that confirms our beliefs and ignore

contradictory evidence

– Politicians we don’t like are crooked, ones we like aren’t

– Social stereotypes, racial profiling

– Astrologers predictions

• Sugar induced hyperactivity studies: – One study showed that 5 out of 6 kids who consumed sugar were

hyperactive. Creates a belief.

After further research it was discovered that 5 out of 6 kids who

did not eat sugar were also hyperactive. Still a common belief.

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

3. We rarely appreciate the role of chance and

coincidence in life • Two things may be true and occur together but are not

related

• Sports figures: lucky pennies, lucky socks

• Guy wins $100 in the lottery after reading the serial number

on the $10 bill he used to buy the ticket. He never wins

again, but plays every day

• Million to one odds happen 8 times a day in New York

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

4. We can misperceive our world • Fact: Referees call more penalties on teams wearing black

than any other color.

Why? Black is associated with evil.

• UFO sightings that are airplanes and clouds

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

5. We oversimplify: We use shortcuts when thinking,

this saves us time and simplifies life • We ignore base rates or don’t take the entire population into

account

• We disregard regression to the mean

• We ignore sample size

• We disregard the “conjunction fallacy”

• We stereotype & framing

• We use the “availability heuristic”

• We use an “anchoring and adjustment” approach

Kida’s six pack of broken thinking

6. We have faulty memories • Our memories are not exact memories of specific events;

they are a mixture of what we wanted, what happened and

our expectations of the event.

• Inaccurate eye witness stories

• Salem witch trials: Mass hysteria occurs when large

groups of people claim to experience things that didn’t

happen

7 things to keep in mind

7) There is no “neutral” choice

6) Intrinsic motivation beats extrinsic

5) Fear of loss trumps possibility of gain

4) We over-estimate chances of winning

3) Status quo bias: inertia rules

2) We discount long-term benefits

1) Humans are not “econs”

What about incentives?

Become a

Choice Architect

the default

limit options

What’s the take away?

Original Research

Summing it up • Choice-based models produces stronger engagement

– When consumers chose, modalities and outcomes are

equally effective

• Rewards can drive engagement, but engagement drives outcomes

– “A little human help” can be a cost effective alternative

• Outcomes-based rewards don’t produce better outcomes and may

reduce overall engagement

– Figure out what’s most engaging with your population
