FOGG BEHAVIOUR GRID
The Fogg Behavior Grid describes 15 ways behaviour can change. The purpose is to help people think more clearly about behaviour change.
Each of the 15 behaviours types uses different psychological strategies and persuasive techniques. For example, the methods for persuading people to buy a book online (BlueDot Behavior) are different than getting people to quit smoking forever (BlackPath Behavior).
You may click any behaviour type in the Behavior Grid below to see an overview. However, it’s recommended that you begin with The Behavior Wizard to assess the type of behaviour you are interested in.
