There are two words that strike fear into the hearts of behavioral scientists. Replication crisis. Today, many famous nudges can’t be replicated. In many cases, they were one-offs. So, rather than share studies, I wanted to run my own. Over the next four episodes, I’ll attempt to grow this show by experimenting with nudges. Listen to this episode on social proof and learn why dozens unsubscribed to my mailing list, what happened when 300,000 people saw my ad, and why everyone, from theatre lovers to Issac Newton falls for social proof.
