Psychological Architectures: Templates for Persuasive Design

Track this Workshop

In this workshop, Dr. Cugelman will introduce you to Psychological Architectures, unique combinations of psychological principles that exert effects greater than the sum of their parts.

You may know them by different names, such as behavior change theories, evidence-based design, persuasive design patterns, conventions, or best practices. Whatever you call them, Psychological Architectures have been proven to work by scientists and practitioners, as effective ways to influence how people think and behave.

This is an introductory session which will start with a quick theoretical overview, followed by a tour of several Psychological Architectures. You will learn about gamification, feedback loops, habit formation, landing pages, digital coaching and more.

The content is all based on science, but presented in a format that is visually engaging, intuitive, and extremely practical. You will enjoy a combination of presentations along with interactive group exercises, where participants use laser points to dissect Psychological Architectures.
