Informative Feedback: A Help to Change People's Behaviour

Evolved from the portable phone, the smartphone has assumed significant importance in the lives of many people to make them increasingly dependent, conditioning interests and activities, with very negative effects on freedom of choice, motivation and commitment in many areas of daily life, primarily interpersonal relationships and contexts of aggregation such as pubs and restaurants. The research was born as an experiment of Nudge application to reduce the frequency of smartphone use in pubs and restaurants through the use of informative feedback. The control group has shown a reduction in the frequency of use of the smartphone in the moments of aggregation, and this proves the effectiveness of the intervention.
