Abstract
Behavioural policy interventions designed to influence people's behaviour without introducing mandates, are adopted in increasingly polarised environments worldwide. Though BPIs are not polarising per se, political disagreements can emerge if combined with cues. Across different countries, we examine how communication strategies affect support for BPIs, and it’s potential (mis)perceived polarization.
