Healthier By Precommitment
Increasingly, obesity-related interventions rely on providing incentives to encourage healthier food choices. Behavioral science research has shown, however, that incentives alone may not fully engage consumers. Here, we show in a randomized controlled field experiment that urging self-control through precommitment can significantly improve incentive utilization and healthy nutrition behavior.
