Gentle nudges in one direction or another?

Hello everybody.

I am reading 'The Power of Fifty Bits' by Bob Nease.


There are dozens of studies of how priming—gentle nudges in one direction or another of which subjects are not consciously aware—can alter people’s choices.


Would you please tell me what the bold part means?

Thanks ??
