  6. Behavioral Ethics: The Psychology of Moral Behavior

    2020 Seattle Regional Compliance & Ethics Conference  | Presenter(s): Sven Peterson, Werner De Bondt  | November 13, 2020 

    • How do individuals make ethical choices? We consider the psychological processes that result in ethical decisions and behavior. Our focus is on actual human conduct rather than a priori normative principles elaborated by intellectuals throughout history

    • We also ask how social institutions, e.g., law or regulatory and corporate policies, influence moral functioning. Their effects are often counterproductive

    • Lastly, we explore behavioral interventions (validated by insights from psychology) that foster ethical behavior and have the potential to bring about a culture of service and purpose. We offer examples within a corporate/organizational setting, e.g., nudges that preserve freedom of choice, yet tweak behavior
