The Behaviourally Informed Organizations partnership (see https://www.biorgpartnership.com/) housed at the BEAR centre, University of Toronto is looking for contributions to an edited book project entitled “What Works, What Doesn’t (and When)”.
We are looking for chapters:
- That are based on a field study aiming to change behaviour of customers, citizens or other stakeholders (as opposed to testing theory of developing a new theory of behaviour)
- That are authored by practitioners, academics or teams that have both academics and practitioners
- The study is a translation (from a lab demonstration to the field), replication (from a previous field study in the same domain), horizontal scaling (from a different domain to a new one) or vertical scaling (same domain, but larger sample sizes) of a previously demonstrated intervention.
- The study could be a “success” or not (i.e., null effects, or different effects than expected)
- That include some commentary on reasons for “success” or “failure” and prescriptive advice.
Further details (goals, audience, content & style of chapters, and a tentative timeline) are available at https://www.biorgpartnership.com/whatworks
Chapter proposals may be submitted via the link available at this website no later than November 8, 2021, 4 PM East Coast time.
