So do the Behavioural Science guys think the window for compliance is
- of infinite size
- a size so large it doesn’t matter
- limited size but bigger than Whitty thinks
- Something else
?

Is the problem that they do not know because it has not been tried and tested in recent times?

We’re going to find out I guess

No
Then, yes

The UK gov has largely followed the advice of behavioural scientists and have been praised internationally for doing so. Seems like this was one area where they didn’t.

Three behavioural scientists on SPI-B, Stephen Reicher, John Drury and Clifford Stott, even wrote an article for the Psychologist journal, rejecting the notion of “fatigue”

Out of interest does anyone have a link or copy of this? Sounds interesting.
