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 and to facilitate effective policy change. Together, these articles offer diverse exemplars of behavior science's importance in public policy development and implementation.
行为科学在影响公共政策方面有着悠久的历史。众多学者在实验研究和应用研究中运用行为学原理，来审视地方、州和联邦政策对各类具有社会重要性的问题和目标可能产生的影响。行为科学在公共政策中的效用持续蓬勃发展，而转化行为研究仍将是有效政策制定与实施的关键组成部分。本专题中的文章突出了在各个领域应用研究的多样实例，如智力残疾、物质使用和温室气体排放等。此外，本专题还包括实验研究的结果，这些结果表明使用需求曲线分析以及诸如[此处原文缺失具体行为程序名称]等行为程序来促进有效的政策变革所带来的益处。这些文章共同提供了行为科学在公共政策制定与实施中重要性的多样范例。
