Behavior modification, designed to change behavior, is a social intervention. While the ethical considerations of all types of social intervention would appear similar, behavior modification is often used as the forum for discussing them. Such frequent use creates the impression that the field is riddled with numerous, unique ethical problems, which in turn contribute to an already questionable image. A variety of factors which have led to the use of behavior modification in this manner and the consequences of this approach are discussed.
旨在改变行为的行为矫正属于一种社会干预。虽然所有类型的社会干预在伦理考量方面似乎都很相似，但行为矫正常常被用作讨论这些考量的平台。这种频繁使用给人一种印象，即该领域充斥着大量独特的伦理问题，这反过来又加剧了其本就存疑的形象。本文讨论了导致以这种方式使用行为矫正的各种因素以及这种方法的后果。
