What Are Ethical Practices In Behavioral Interventions?

I would like to submit a write-up titled “Ethical Practices in Behavioral Interventions” for the Nature’s ‘review and perspective’ section, in which I have tried to explain the ethical issues related to the growing practices of behavioral tools to influence people’s choice and consequent decision such as nudge and default option with a few policy implications. My intent has been to bring this important issue into the public domain that will influence the concern of policy makers who are interested in behavioral program design and policy interventions.

As you already know, a Presidential Executive order has been issued encouraging US federal agencies to use the insights of behavioral sciences for more effective policy design and wider dissemination.
