Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Physics of Gamification, we take a closer look at how measuring behavior can quietly shift it — sometimes in ways we don’t intend.Drawing on the quantum observer effect, we explore why well-meaning metrics can lead to distorted outcomes, and how small changes in what we track can have a big impact on engagement.From productivity dashboards to recognition systems, we’ll share practical ways to design feedback that supports motivation — not undermines it.
