Publicación Todos ponen : acción colectiva y confianza en Laboratorios de Cultura Ciudadana de Medellín. Intervención comportamental para aumentar la capacidad para hacer y cumplir acuerdos en el barrio Loreto de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Echeverri Martínez, Gloria Andrea; Cano Torres, Carolina AstridThis thesis analyzes the results of a behavioral intervention aimed at strengthening the capacity to make and keep agreements in the Laboratory of Civic Culture (LCC) in the Loreto neighborhood of Medellín, in response to the sustained decline in interpersonal trust and willingness to reach agreements, as reported by the Civic Culture Survey (2023). The intervention design was based on the Behavior Change Wheel, using four intervention functions and six behavior change techniques (BCTs). The methodological design combined a quasi-experimental approach with two independent groups, pretest and posttest, complemented by direct observation of the targeted behaviors. The results show a statistically significant difference in the total scores of the “making agreements” dimension, with a high effect size (0.89), as well as an increase in trust toward community leaders (p = .021) and neighbors (p=0.041). The “keeping agreements” variable did not show significant differences overall. Field observations revealed that 72.7% of community commitments were fulfilled when they were collectively constructed, while imposed agreements or those with low ownership showed limited fulfillment (12.5%). These results show that behavioral interventions designed with a participatory approach and rooted in the local territory can activate collective action and strengthen community trust bonds, even in contexts—such as the case of the Loreto neighborhood—characterized by distrust and skepticism toward institutions.Publicación Intervención conductual para mejorar el desempeño de los asesores comerciales en una entidad financiera de Colombia a través de una estrategia de retroalimentación personalizada de resultados de su plan comercial(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Atehortua Mesa, Alejandro; Díaz Bermúdez, Juan Pablo; García Montoya, Leidy Jinet; Cardona Mesa, Laura CarolinaPublicación Comunicación argumentativa de diseñadores de experiencia: intervención comportamental cocreada con nudges educativos en una organización financiera(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Londoño Avila, Melissa; Correa Rincón, Valentina; Echeverri Álvarez, JonathanPublicación Decisiones que construyen futuro : promoción del ahorro en empleados del sector financiero(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Bedoya Agudelo, María Fernanda; Valdés Duque, Natalia; Ramirez García, Maria IsabelPublicación Intervención comportamental para fortalecer las conversaciones basadas en el “ser”, de líderes a colaboradores de un equipo comercial en una entidad financiera(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Gómez González, Natacha María; Quintero Madera, Julieth Elena; Pacheco Rodríguez, Diana Marcela; Jaramillo Gaviria, Ana MaríaPublicación Intervención comportamental para promover el bienestar financiero del personal operativo en Sumicol Corona(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Gómez Mejía, Catalina; Pacheco Carcioffi, Valentina; Vallejo Montoya, María Camila; Jaramillo Gaviria, Ana MaríaPublicación Intervención comportamental para aumentar la asertividad en estudiantes de primaria de una institución educativa de Medellín para prevenir situaciones de bullying.

Using the EAST model, three types of nudges (affective, cognitive, and behavioral) were applied through targeted messages to families, along with gamification for children to encourage the consumption of healthy foods and reduce the use of ultra-processed products. The intervention was implemented over three weeks and evaluated through systematic observations, a pretest-posttest survey on purchasing habits, and the PANAS affectivity scale. The results showed significant improvements in families' perception of health benefits (p < 0.001) and ease of preparation (p = 0.008). Additionally, an increase in the nutritional quality of lunchboxes was observed, with positive effects across all measurements. However, a decrease in caregivers' positive affect (p < 0.001) was recorded, suggesting the need to address emotional factors in future interventions. The findings suggest that nudges can improve eating habits and the nutritional quality of school lunchboxes, although psychological and contextual aspects should be considered in the design to achieve sustainable long-term changes.Publicación Intervención comportamental para moderar el uso del celular en clase por parte de estudiantes de una universidad de la ciudad de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Álvarez Lince, Camilo; Peralta Vélez, Ana MaríaPublicación Intervención comportamental tipo MINDSPACE para fortalecer las capacidades de comunicación efectiva en equipos técnicos : caso Odinsa(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Álvarez Galindo, Jimmy Mauricio; Arroyave Velásquez, Viviana; López Aguirre, Lina María; Úsuga Arcila, Gloria Carolina; OdinsaThis paper presents a behavioral intervention based on Nudges and Boost to improve the effective communication of Odinsa's technical teams. Using MINDSPACE and the Boost framework, a mixed approach was applied. The results show significant improvements in intonation, rhythm, posture and other aspects (Pretest: 19.19, Posttest: 24.75, p=0.000). The effect size (d=-2.454) confirms the relevance of the change, validated by parametric tests.Publicación MOTIVATOR-COLOMBIA : adaptación y evaluación de impacto en las competencias comunicacionales de profesionales de salud en Sura(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Ceballos Ramírez, Laura María; Lemos Hoyos, MariantoniaPublicación La autodeterminación como capacidad motivadora para la adopción de conductas de gestión del bienestar propio(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Zuluaga Noreña, Andrea; Pérez Villar, Lucía; Echeverri Álvarez, Jonathan; Universidad Pontificia BolivarianaPublicación Intervención comportamental para aumentar la capacidad psicológica y motivación reflexiva de los estudiantes de pregrado que han cometido faltas contra la integridad académica(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Rodríguez Moreno, Juliana; Molina Hurtado, Luisa Fernanda; Arboleda Durán, Yessica; Echeverri Álvarez, JonathanPublicación Intervención en madres gestantes de la comuna 13 de Medellín, vinculadas a los servicios de unidad administrativa especial buen comienzo de 2024, que busca mejorar los conocimientos y habilidades de extracción y conservación de leche materna(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Londoño Osorio, Johana Alexandra; García Munoz, Carolina; Pemberty Montoya, María Dorancy; Torres Cadavid, SusanaPublicación Reducción de barreras y ampliación de beneficios, para aumentar la afiliación de trabajadoras remuneradas del hogar a la seguridad social(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Londoño Jaramillo, Sara; Montoya Jaramillo, SaloméPublicación Estrategia comportamental para aumentar los espacios de desconexión en personal de enfermería, gerontología y cuidadoras en un hogar gerontológico de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Múnera Quintero, Victor Alfonso; Aguirre, David Alejandro; Lemos Hoyos, MariantoniaThis study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a behavioral intervention using the EAST Framework with the goal of improving the burnout index by increasing disconnection behaviors among nursing assistants, gerontology workers, and caregivers at a Gerontological Home specializing in degenerative diseases (dementia) in Medellín. The intervention consisted of four components: 1. A physical space called the Disconnection Zone, 2. Videos called Wellness Capsules, 3. A WhatsApp group named Conscious Well-being, and 4. Another WhatsApp group called Sharing Well-being. The intervention was evaluated through a qualitative workshop, as initial high desirability prevented participants from reporting burnout levels at the beginning of the intervention. The results indicate that the Disconnection Zone was well received by the healthcare staff, and the disconnection groups were also positively valued, though variability in their use was observed. Additionally, the disconnection videos became a key tool for those experiencing unexpected moments of unrest and stress, due to their easy access and brevity, which allowed them to be used as a quick strategy to increase moments of disconnection for the healthcare staff at the Gerontological Home.Publicación Intervención comportamental tipo nudge para incrementar la participación de los estudiantes en las elecciones a representante estudiantil de posgrado en la universidad EAFIT (Colombia) para el periodo 2024(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Rojas Saldarriaga, Mateo; Sanín Echeverri, Mizrain Edrei; Mazo Barrientos, Juan DanielPublicación Intervención comportamental para incrementar la inscripción a un programa de educación financiera online, en población vulnerable de Nariño, Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Kisner Mira, Sandra; Arroyave Duque, María Alejandra; Cardona Tamay, Diana Maritza; Jaramillo Gaviria, Ana MaríaThis study examines efforts to enhance enrollment in a financial education program targeting customers from the Social segment of a financial institution, residing in the department of Nariño, Colombia. The intervention consisted of sending invitation messages via WhatsApp, designed using behavioral techniques such as promoting trust, facilitating action, using simple language, and highlighting benefits, after identifying key behavioral barriers to enrollment. Despite these efforts, the results did not show a significant increase in program enrollment, indicating the need to reconsider the strategies employed. It is recommended to consider the clients' preferred communication channels, personalize invitation messages, and incorporate behavioral variables in audience segmentation. This study contributes to the field of financial education by exploring interventions based on behavioral principles within low-income populations. However, limitations were noted in the availability of demographic data and the capacity to influence certain aspects of intervention design. Further research is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of such programs.Publicación ¿Puede la empatía reducir las percepciones negativas sobre el contrario político? : intervención comportamental tipo nudge para mitigar la deshumanización política en el contexto actual colombiano(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Orrego López, Mónica María; Trujillo Urrea, Juan PabloPublicación Proyecto Leé : proyecto basado en los estudios del comportamiento para fomentar la lectura recreativa en niñas y niños del barrio Bello Oriente(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Gómez, Juan Esteban; Jaramillo Arango, Laura; Ospina, Margarita; Cano, Carolina A.This master's thesis in Behavioral Studies from EAFIT University presents a behavioral science-based intervention to promote recreational reading among children in Bello Oriente, Medellín. The central issue is the low reading habit in Colombia, compared to other similarly developed countries. Through this pilot project, we seek to develop activities to increase voluntary and recreational reading. In collaboration with the Waima and Casa Loma foundations, dynamic and pedagogical activities were developed for this community. An interactive diagnosis revealed that children had a positive disposition towards reading but in the practice, they didn’t actually read. The diagnosis was based on the COM-B model by the Behavioral Change Wheel, focusing on functions such as modeling, enablement, and persuasion to promote recreational reading. While the intervention design was based on the MINDSPACE model. In-person sessions included gamification strategies and experiences designed to increase reading engagement. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated through individual surveys. Important ethical aspects were considered when working with under-aged subjects, ensuring a safe and respectful environment. Results include an increase in the number of pages read weekly, which contributes to cognitive development and general well-being of the children in Bello Oriente. This approach aims to transform reading into a desirable and accessible activity for all participants, improving their reading skills and quality of life.
