How to use "Nudge" in context?
Nudging refers to a behavioral intervention used to promote desired behaviors without imposing pressure or forcing changes. In theory, nudges are simple, practical, and highly effective tools that can help people make smarter choices and live healthier lives.
The idea behind nudges is to use small encouragements or corrections to change habitual behaviors. For example, a health advocate might recommend that people eat breakfast every day to improve their cardiovascular health, but would not force them to do so. Instead, she might provide a few simple nudges, such as providing toast with peanut butter for breakfast or suggesting that people save their morning calories for lunch.
