Abstract

Behavior science has a long history of influencing public policy. Numerous scholars have used behavioral principles in experimental and applied research to examine the potential impact of local, state, and federal policies across socially important problems and goals. The utility of behavior science in public policy continues to flourish, and translational behavioral research will remain a critical component of effective policy development and implementation. The articles in this special section highlight diverse examples of applied research in various areas, such as intellectual disabilities, substance use, and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this special section includes findings from experimental research demonstrating the benefits of using demand curve analysis and behavioral procedures such as nudging and boosting to facilitate effective policy change. Together, these articles offer diverse exemplars of behavior science's importance in public policy development and implementation.

行为科学对公共政策的贡献:专题导论。

行为科学对公共政策的影响由来已久。许多学者在实验和应用研究中使用行为原则来检验地方、州和联邦政策对社会重要问题和目标的潜在影响。行为科学在公共政策中的应用将继续蓬勃发展，转化行为研究将仍然是有效政策制定和实施的关键组成部分。这个特别部分的文章突出了不同领域的应用研究的不同例子，如智力残疾、物质使用和温室气体排放。此外，这一特殊部分包括实验研究的结果，证明了使用需求曲线分析和行为程序(如轻推和促进)来促进有效的政策变化的好处。总之，这些文章提供了行为科学在公共政策制定和实施中的重要性的不同范例。
