SeCOM-B
The COM-B model, widely adopted in behaviour change research, systematically explores and categorises the behavioural barriers and facilitators to inform intervention design. The model highlights that where the right mix of barriers and facilitators, in the broad categories of capability, motivation, and opportunity exist, a given behaviour is more likely to be enacted. However, for wicked problems, applying the COM-B model becomes challenging du…
Applying ChatGPT and AI‐Powered Tools to Accelerate Evidence Reviews
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been used to improve the productivity of evidence review and synthesis since at least 2016, with EPPI‐Reviewer and Abstrackr being two prominent examples. However, since the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in late 2022, the use of generative AI for research, especially for text‐based data analysis, has exploded. In this article, we used a critical reflection approach to document and evaluate the capacity of di…
Consuming responsibly
Human behaviour is at the centre of unsustainable consumption and production. Responsible consumption behaviours must therefore be at the centre of the solution. However, because it is inefficient for policymakers and practitioners, and ineffective for users, to attempt to target all responsible consumption behaviours simultaneously in a given initiative, some form of prioritisation is necessary. Through a combination of collaborative workshops a…
Incorporating pragmatism in a behaviour change-led climate adaptation project
Purpose This article argues the value of integrating pragmatism in applying behavioural science to complex challenges. We describe a behaviour change-led knowledge co-production process in the specific context of climate change in Australia. This process was led by an interdisciplinary research team who struggled with the limitations of the prevailing deterministic behaviour change paradigms, such as the “test, learn, adapt” model, which often fo…
Eleven enablers of science thought leadership to facilitate knowledge exchange in environmental regulation
Evidence informed environmental policy and decision-making remains aspirational. Knowledge exchange literature indicates neccessary supportive elements and activities but acknowledges a gap in understanding of interpersonal and relational aspects. Inquiry is particularly lacking into the roles and potential of internal expert advice, especially in the micro-level instrumental decisions regulators make daily. We identify these characteristics as ‘…
The co-evolution of government risk communication practice and context for environmental health emergencies
Environmental health emergencies, such as smoke events from bushfires and chemical fires, present a significant threat to human health. Risk communication is a key aspect of the public health response. However, recurring public criticism of government communication during these emergencies indicates that communication practice is not yet adequate. Improving communication requires a deeper understanding of risk communication practice. Despite exte…
Behaviour in sustainability transitions
Avoiding Theoretical Stagnation
Public value theory has become a hot topic in public administration research, but its proponents have long recognised difficulties in empirically testing the theory's central propositions. There has been a lack of clarity about how to measure the extent to which organisations are generating public value, which has rendered researchers unable to quantitatively study the causes, consequences and correlates of public value. The current study systema…
