This video is episode thirteen of the Paul & Henry Show, the hosts are joined by Dr. Amy Williamson, a behavioral psychologist with expertise in regulatory science, to discuss how behavioral science can enhance regulatory practices, particularly in the context of road safety. Dr. Williamson elaborates on the importance of designing systems that encourage safe behavior, the role of behavioral insights in regulation, and how both individual and systemic approaches can effectively influence behavior. The conversation also touches on how regulations and road design can impact driver behavior and the role of behavioral nudges in improving compliance and safety outcomes.
