Abstract= "People often make irrational decisions. With digital nudging, decisions made in online environments can be guided beneficially by adapting design elements of the user-interface and thus the user’s choice environment. To evaluate the effectiveness of different nudging methods, modeling and simulation can be used. In this paper, we make a step towards preplanning of experiments to analyze nudging methods via simulation. To this end, we provide a model that replicates human behavior based on an experiment, that addresses gaming behavior in a digital environment. In a second step, the model is extended using several nudging methods in order to adapt the gamers’ decision-making. Experiments are presented that outline the model’s capability to produce plausible results concerning human gaming behavior as well as the effects of nudging methods on decision-making.
