Manage episode 440560209 series 3601465
In this episode, we interview behavioural scientist Will Trump about integrating behavioural science into UX design. We explore how applying psychological principles helps shape human behaviour in design. We discuss the COMB model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior) as a framework for creating persuasive experiences and emphasize the importance of motivation alongside good UX. We delve into ethical considerations, the benefits of treating customers well, and how behavioural science enhances messaging and choice architecture. We also offer advice for UX researchers looking to transition into behavioural science by educating themselves and adopting a behavioural scientist’s approach.
