Choice architecture is the design of different ways in which choices can be presented to decision makers, and the impact of that presentation on decision-making. For example, each of the following:
the number of choices presented
the manner in which attributes are described
the presence of a "default"
can influence consumer choice. As a result, advocates of libertarian paternalism and asymmetric paternalism have endorsed the deliberate design of choice architecture to nudge consumers toward personally and socially desirable behaviors like saving for retirement, choosing healthier foods, or registering as an organ donor. These interventions are often justified in that well-designed choice architectures can compensate for irrational decision-making biases to improve consumer welfare. These techniques have consequently become popular among policymakers, leading to the formation of the UK's Behavioural Insights Team and the White House "Nudge Unit" for example. While many behavioral scientists stress that there is no neutral choice-architecture and that consumers maintain autonomy and freedom of choice despite manipulations of choice architecture, critics of libertarian paternalism often argue that choice architectures designed to overcome irrational decision biases may impose costs on rational agents, for example by limiting choice or undermining respect for individual human agency and moral autonomy. Moreover, it can result in dark patterns because of the Principal–agent problem.
The term "choice architecture" was coined by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein in their 2008 book Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Thaler and Sunstein have endorsed thoughtful design of choice architecture as a means to improve consumer decision-making by minimizing biases and errors that arise as the result of bounded rationality. This approach is an example of "libertarian paternalism", a philosophy endorsed by Thaler and Sunstein that aims to "nudge" individuals toward choices that are in their best interest without limiting choice.

La théorie du nudge (ou théorie du paternalisme libéral) est un concept des sciences du comportement, de la théorie politique et d'économie issu des pratiques de design industriel qui fait valoir que des suggestions indirectes peuvent, sans forcer, influencer les motivations et inciter à la prise de décision des groupes et des individus, de manière au moins aussi efficace que l'instruction directe, la législation ou l'exécution.
La comptabilité mentale est un concept développé par Richard Thaler dans les années 1980. La comptabilité mentale tente de décrire le processus par lequel des personnes peuvent classer et évaluer les résultats économiques. Dans la théorie de la comptabilité mentale, le cadrage désigne la façon dont une personne cadre subjectivement une transaction dans son esprit pour en déterminer l'utilité qu'elle lui accorde.
In the social sciences, framing comprises a set of concepts and theoretical perspectives on how individuals, groups, and societies organize, perceive, and communicate about reality. Framing can manifest in thought or interpersonal communication. Frames in thought consist of the mental representations, interpretations, and simplifications of reality. Frames in communication consist of the communication of frames between different actors. Framing is a key component of sociology, the study of social interaction among humans.
Nudges have been known to trigger behavior change for individuals in different contexts. In this study, we focus on designing nudges in the context of self-directed learning (SDL) of university students and aim to identify challenges and difficulties they ...

Dynamical downscaling has been extensively used to study regional climate forced by large-scale global climate models. During the downscaling process, however, the simulation of regional climate models (RCMs) tends to drift away from the driving fields. De ...
A recommender system's ability to establish trust with users and convince them of its recommendations, such as which camera or PC to purchase, is a crucial design factor especially for e-commerce environments. This observation led us to build a trust model ...
