Expectations, opportunities, and awareness: A case for combining i- and s-frame interventions

Behav Brain Sci. 2023 Aug 30:46:e170. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23000997.

Abstract

We argue that: (1) disappointment in the effectiveness of i-frame interventions depends on realistic expectations about how they could work; (2) opportunities for system reform are rare, and i-frame interventions can lay important groundwork; (3) Chater & Loewenstein's evidence that i-frame interventions detract from s-frame approaches is limited; and (4) nonetheless, behavioural scientists should consider what more they can contribute to systemic reforms.
