| 要約: | Attitudes of public
groups towards behavioral policy interventions (or nudges) can be important for
both the policy makers who design and deploy nudges, and to researchers who try
to understand when and why some nudges are supported while others are not.
Until now, research on public attitudes towards nudges has focused on either
state- or country-level comparisons, or on correlations with individual-level
traits, and has neglected to study how different social groups (such as
minorities) might view nudges. Using a large and representative sample, we
tested the attitudes of two distinct minority groups in Israel (Israeli Arabs
and Ultra-Orthodox Jews), and discovered that nudges that operated against a
minority group’s held social norms, promoting a more general societal goal not
aligned with the group’s norms, were often less supported by minorities.
Contrary to expectations, these differences could not be explained by
differences in trust in the government applying these nudges. We discuss
implications for public policy and for the research and applications of
behavioral interventions.
