SayPro Application of behavioural economics in SayPro research modelling

1. SayPro Nudging and Choice Architecture

• Definition: Structuring choices to guide users towards beneficial behaviours without restricting freedom.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Simplifying registration and course selection processes to encourage enrolment.
  • Highlighting “most popular” or “recommended” programs based on user profiles.
  • Default options (e.g., auto-enrolling users into orientation or support services).

---

2.SayPro Loss Aversion

• Definition: People prefer avoiding losses more than acquiring equivalent gains.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Framing messages around what users lose by not using SayPro features (e.g., “Don’t miss out on certification deadlines!”).
  • Incentivising continued participation by showing streaks or progress loss if inactive.

---

3. SayPro Anchoring

• Definition: Initial exposure to a number or fact affects decision-making.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Displaying original vs discounted prices on training packages.
  • Comparing average course completion times to influence pacing.

---

4. SayPro Social Proof

• Definition: Individuals copy behaviours they see others doing.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Showcasing testimonials, usage statistics, or peer endorsements.
  • Highlighting community participation metrics (e.g., “5,000 users completed this course last month”).

---

5. SayPro Commitment and Consistency

• Definition: Once people commit to something publicly, they’re more likely to follow through.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Getting users to set learning goals at signup.
  • Encouraging users to share goals or progress with peers.

---

6. SayPro Hyperbolic Discounting

• Definition: People choose smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Offering instant badges or feedback after completing modules.
  • Structuring learning in micro-chunks to give a sense of achievement.

---

7. SayPro Scarcity and Urgency

• Definition: Limited-time offers or availability increase perceived value.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Promoting limited-time workshops or registration windows.
  • Countdown timers for assignments or feedback windows.

---

8. SayPro Framing Effects

• Definition: The way choices are presented affects decision-making.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Positively framing user progress (“You’ve completed 75% – almost there!”).
  • Using empowering language in UI and notifications to motivate users.

---

9. SayPro Mental Accounting

• Definition: People treat money differently depending on its source or intended use.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Structuring payment plans that align with educational budgeting (e.g., “Pay weekly”).
  • Offering tokens or credits for achievements to be “spent” on perks.

---

10. SayPro Feedback Loops and Personalisation

• Definition: Tailored feedback increases relevance and motivation.
• SayPro Use Case:
  • Providing adaptive dashboards showing learning impact and behavioural trends.
  • Customising recommendations based on prior behaviour and goals.
