Getting Real on Rationality—Behavioral Science, Nudging, and Public Policy
Ethics ( IF 10.8 ) Pub Date : 2019-07-01 , DOI: 10.1086/702970
Andreas T. Schmidt

The nudge approach seeks to improve people’s decisions through small changes in their choice environments. Nudge policies often work through psychological mechanisms that deviate from traditional notions of rationality. Because of that, some critics object that nudging treats people as irrational. Such treatment might be disrespectful in itself and might crowd out more empowering policies. I defend nudging against these objections. By defending a nonstandard, ecological model of rationality, I argue that nudging not only is compatible with rational agency but can even support it. Accordingly, a concern with rationality speaks for more rather than less public policy nudging.

了解理性——行为科学、助推和公共政策

轻推方法旨在通过人们选择环境的微小变化来改善人们的决策。助推政策通常通过偏离传统理性概念的心理机制发挥作用。正因为如此,一些批评家反对轻推将人们视为非理性的。这种待遇本身可能是不尊重的,可能会排除更多赋权政策。我为轻推这些反对意见辩护。通过捍卫一种非标准的、生态的理性模型,我认为轻推不仅与理性能动性兼容,而且甚至可以支持它。因此,对理性的关注意味着更多而不是更少的公共政策推动。
