Targeting Ignorance to Change Behavior. Prentice, D. A. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 8abstract bibtex Current approaches to reducing dysfunctional behavior posit ignorance as a root cause. These approaches seek to alleviate, circumvent, or neutralize ignorance so that people can live healthier, happier, and more sustainable lives. In this chapter, I review these approaches to behavior change, with an eye toward their implications for understanding the links between ignorance, knowledge, and behavior. This review reveals the impressive advances that have come from the application of dual-process models of human psychology to the problem of behavior change. Recognizing that the mind has two distinct systems for processing information and thereby gaining knowledge has led to the development of new intervention strategies and a more complete understanding of how the two systems jointly regulate behavior. At the same time, this review highlights the limitations of assuming people would behave better if they knew better. Not all dysfunctional behavior is rooted in ignorance: People often take actions that harm themselves and others with full knowledge of those consequences.
