Editor's Notes
- #8 The SWITCH framework – psychology of change From Carrot and Stick
- #9 The SWITCH framework – The Elephant
- #10 The SWITCH framework Elephant Strengths Energy, drive, instinctive, love, compassion, sympathy, loyalty, gets things done Weaknesses Lazy, skittish, short-term payoff, does not respond to the Rider. The Rider Strengths Long-term planning, direction Weaknesses Overly analytical, indecisive
- #12 Popcorn – People with larger buckets ate 54% more popcorn than those with medium size buckets If you want people to eat less then give them smaller buckets. You don’t have to worry about their knowledge or their attitude. Can you start getting people to behave in a new way?
- #14 Radishes & cookies Sat in a room and increased temptation. Had to use willpower and then found in problem solving activities that they attempted less and there was a decrease in persistence. The more choices offered the more exhausted the Rider gets. Self control is taxing. Change is hard because we wear ourselves out. Tug of war between the elephant and the rider. Controlling the elephant by the rider is exhaustive.
- #16 1% Milk Which foods? Which meals? Did radio announcement and even showed what fat looked like (5 strips of bacon) Keeping it really simple or the rider will spin his wheels.
- #17 How is the framework related to the surprises? Direct the Rider – Provide clarity to reduce resistance Motivate the Elephant – Energize us through the exhaustive task of self-monitoring and control Shape the Path – Modify the environment to make change more likely
