Abstract

Public access to housing is a challenge for a large number of societies and follows a great number of limitations. Here, we test several SMS-interventions aiming at motivating people to get information on affordable loans for housing options actually available to them. We randomly assigned 6,247 people to receive an SMS inviting them to get information about government backed housing loans for which they were already eligible. SMSs followed one of 14 possible nudges including “simple” nudges (e.g., messages personalized with the recipient's name or mentioning a social norm) and “bundled” nudges (combining personalization with another simple nudge). We observed SMS response rates (i.e., responding to sign up for receiving more information) according to which nudge was assigned. No other independent variable was considered. While most nudges were more effective than a control SMS, we observed significant variation across nudges on their ability to elicit responses from users. Combinations of multiple nudges were more successful in behavior elicitation than simple nudges. We discuss the possible implications of “single” or “bundled” SMS on response rates and as an effective tool of behavior change.
整体大于部分之和:短信提示捆绑的叠加效应
对许多社会而言,公众获得住房是一项挑战,并受到诸多限制。在此,我们测试了几种短信干预措施,旨在激励人们获取可负担得起的住房贷款信息。我们随机分配了 6247 人接收短信,邀请他们了解有关政府支持的住房贷款的信息,他们已经有资格获得这些贷款。短信采用了 14 种可能的劝告方式之一,包括 "简单 "劝告(例如,带有收件人姓名或提及社会规范的个性化信息)和 "捆绑 "劝告(将个性化信息与另一种简单劝告相结合)。我们观察了短信回复率(即回复注册以接收更多信息),具体取决于哪种提示。没有考虑其他自变量。虽然大多数劝诱比对照短信更有效,但我们观察到不同劝诱在引起用户回复的能力上存在显著差异。在行为诱导方面,多种劝告的组合比简单的劝告更成功。我们讨论了 "单一 "或 "捆绑 "短信对响应率以及作为行为改变的有效工具可能产生的影响。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
