The Obama-Biden Administration is known for its use of psychological tricks to get Americans to do what government officials wanted.
Some describe this method as a government “nudge” while others describe it as manipulation or coercion.
Julian Zelizer : Nudging has gained a lot of high-profile advocates, including behavioral-law guru Cass Sunstein .
He says government nudgers and other psychological nudgers most often act covertly and secretly, while a physical nudge and the desired response of the nudger does not occur secretly.
The Biden-Harris Social and Behavioral Sciences Subcommittee functions to “advance the Biden-Harris Administration’s agenda” and “lay the groundwork for longer-term coordination of agency efforts related to the social and behavioral sciences.” Americans should at least be aware of the government's Nudge Unit which might be using psychology to nudge Americans .
