Nudges can lead to altered behaviour by structuring the choice task differently or presenting the choices in a different way and are being used across a wide range of decision contexts. Using principles of behavioural science, the post holder will design behavioural nudges that will: (1) create awareness of conditions that challenge the mental well-being of older people; (2) prompt older people to recognise, record and track the leading indicators (early warning signals); (3) use a tracking app to closely monitor the changes in mental well-being, enabling pattern recognition and predictive systems to be built so as to enable preventive action; (4) effectively lead the older adults to seek advice for potential conditions; (5) examine the role of trust in seeking and receiving mental well-being advice; and (6) investigate the adoption of digital technologies and counteracting digital distrust in older adults.</p>\n<p>We encourage applications from individuals who meet the eligibility criteria published at <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northumbria.ac.uk%2Fresearch%2Fpostgraduate-research-degrees%2Fhow-to-apply%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cdilek.onkal%40northumbria.ac.uk%7Ce4a9e0dbf54e4daa070508d7854c806e%7Ce757cfdd1f354457af8f7c9c6b1437e3%7C0%7C0%7C637124435925959947&sdata=ZKzA6kt2gVR10x8ICKROQs9%2BtIcI4jVddOmV9zw6564%3D&reserved=0\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/research/postgraduate-research-degrees/how-to-apply/</a>.
