dr. J.J. van Hoof (Joris)

Dr. Joris J. van Hoof is Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Science.

His research interests relate to how persuasive technology can influence human behavior. In the current shift towards digital communication and interaction, various strategies can be used to stimulate (nudge) behaviors. Most research in this field has been done in traditional, offline, contexts. And if online, this had been implemented in commercial context. The current research interests involve the implementation of offline insights in online contexts.

Joris van Hoof is an expert in compliance research for the legal sale of age restricted products, and other compliance with other sales protocols in retail. He has experience with a broad range of research methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative in nature.

Joris van Hoof obtained a Veni grant for excellent research (2013), and was a member and board member of the Young Academy @ UT.

Nudging and Improved Form Design (NIFOD)

The aim of this study is to improve information quality on manure that farmers provide to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, via a so called ‘Aanvullende gegevens’ digital form. In the present study we propose a client-centred approach that focuses on prevention. It has two broad objectives: 1. Simplification and improvement of the form. The ‘Aanvullende gegevens’ digital form is somewhat complicated. A set of studies on how the form is filled out by farmers will lead to suggestions for form improvement. 2. Improvement of information quality. In a second part of the project we aim to improve the quality and veracity of the information. To increase honest behavior by farmers (or their representatives) when filling in the form, we will develop persuasive nudges (primes) that will increase honest reporting and decrease intentional fraud. Funding provided by Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, RVO. Together with Prof dr Marianne Junger, Dr Erik Tews, Luka Koning MSc. Start: January 2018
Reduction of noise disturbance in nightlife areas

In many Dutch cities the lively nightlife comes with noise disturbance for people living in the city center. This noise pollution may cause severe health effects for local residents and nightlife employees. There is also a correlation with other nightlife related nuisances, i.e., unwanted behaviors such as violence, littering and public urination. The coming years this problem will only increase, because legislation prohibits indoor smoking in the near future. In order to reduce noise production and to absorb noise, a two-track intervention is in development and will be tested in the project. In the first place, in collaboration with the UT spin-off 4Silence, environmental interventions are designed that absorb sound making use of anechoic materials. Depending on the specific situation in the city center, and the local soundscape, these interventions may be placed on the wall or in open space. The materials allow us to be creative and work three dimensional. Second, a behavior change intervention is developed in which nightlife visitors are ‘primed’ with anti-arousal interventions. These interventions are multi-sensory and affect the mood state of nightlife visitors. To put is simple, people become more relaxed and we expect them to make less noise after being exposed to the behavioral intervention. Scientific research will measure the effects of both intervention strategies.
