In this article, we combine insights from three areas of behavioral science-economics, child development, and cognitive psychology (including behavioral economics and the psychology of poverty)—to shed light on the logic behind providing cash transfers to families with children and to identify specific design features that policymakers should consider when creating these programs. We also summarize key research findings on the outcomes of such programs and present case studies of projects that have been evaluated in randomized controlled studies. We argue that unconditional cash transfers (which provide the money with no strings attached) are preferable to conditional cash transfers (which require recipients to meet specified conditions) for providing economic security and improving children's life outcomes. Conditional cash transfers can achieve similar goals, however, if they impose little administrative burden on parents and if infrastructure is in place to support meeting the conditions for receiving the cash. We end with recommendations for how best to design cash transfer programs for families with children.","PeriodicalId":36971,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Science and Policy","volume":"7 1","pages":"71 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43006960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Direct cash rewards lead to higher enrollment, but the risk of losing money is a stronger motivator for sticking with a program. We conducted an experiment using loss protection to leverage the power of both approaches. Participants were offered two exercise classes a week for 12 weeks. Anyone who attended the first weekly class received a chance to play a lottery that was very likely to pay a cash reward, but they also faced a low risk of not winning any money. Participants in the loss-protection group could insure against the loss by also attending the second class of the week. Participants in the control group could earn the equivalent money by likewise attending the second class, but the incentive was a straight reward for class participation (a flat payment), not as loss protection. For any weekly pattern of attendance, expected earnings were the same in both groups. We randomly assigned 153 participants to either the loss-protection or the control group. The loss-protection framing resulted in greater exercise class attendance, suggesting that the approach could enhance the outcomes of reward-based programs without increasing program costs.","PeriodicalId":36971,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Science and Policy","volume":"7 1","pages":"27 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46951772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regulatory fit theory holds that persuasiveness is influenced by how well the framing of a message resonates with fundamental motivations that influence recipients’ behavior. People who are motivated to approach desirable outcomes generally respond best to health messages having a promotion frame, whereas people who are motivated to avoid undesirable outcomes respond best to health messages having a prevention frame. In the research presented in this article, we show that the effectiveness of COVID-19-related directives is influenced by the fit between promotion or prevention framing and the recipients’ identity—whether they view themselves as independent actors or as part of a larger community. We found that an appeal that highlighted health promotion and benefits to the individual (as in “what you can do to help you stay healthy”) or one that highlighted disease prevention and protection of society (as in “what you can do to keep America safe”) led to greater intent to practice social distancing than did appeals using other pairings of framing and identity, particularly in people who were not already practicing rigorous social distancing. The findings suggest that policymakers should consider regulatory fit—and specifically, the pairings described above—when designing public health communications relating to COVID-19 and other directives.","PeriodicalId":36971,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Science and Policy","volume":"6 1","pages":"25 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48168113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reported in this article explored whether young adults’ compliance with an orally delivered recommendation to use hand sanitizer, an action thought to limit the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, would increase when the message was delivered in a low versus a high voice pitch. In an experiment involving 478 university students in Australia, a public health announcement delivered in a low voice pitch, compared with one delivered in a high voice pitch, increased participants’ sense of power, which increased their perceived behavioral control over their physical health and, in turn, increased their likelihood of using hand sanitizer. Because voice pitch is an aspect of health communications that can be modified easily at a low cost, the findings suggest a simple approach that public health and policy officials can adopt to improve hand hygiene in a population of people who spend a lot of time in close proximity and who should therefore practice hand hygiene routinely to protect themselves and others from infection.","PeriodicalId":36971,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Science and Policy","volume":"6 1","pages":"35 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49126238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
