在行为和行为变化领域，研究人员和实践者之间建立了更紧密的联系，这为通过更深入地了解现实世界决策过程中的心理过程，更好地为公共政策运动提供信息提供了有用的机会。在这里，我们将重点放在社会从众领域，并建议最近出现的使用神经科学技术来探索社会影响的大脑基础的实验室工作，可以证明是一个有用的数据来源，可以更好地为从众模型提供信息。特别是，我们认为这项工作可以在更好地理解社会从众中起作用的具体机制，在验证和扩展这一过程的现有心理学理论方面发挥重要作用，并在评估行为变化如何因暴露于他人的判断而发生方面发挥重要作用。最后，我们概述了该领域一些有前途的未来方向，并指出这项研究如何潜在地有效地应用于政策问题。
The development of closer ties between researchers and practitioners in the domain of behavior and behavioral change offers useful opportunities for better informing public policy campaigns via a deeper understanding of the psychological processes that operate in real-world decision-making. Here, we focus on the domain of social conformity, and suggest that the recent emergence of laboratory work using neuroscientific techniques to probe the brain basis of social influence can prove a useful source of data to better inform models of conformity. In particular, we argue that this work can have an important role to play in better understanding the specific mechanisms at work in social conformity, in both validating and extending current psychological theories of this process, and in assessing how behavioral change can take place as a result of exposure to the judgments of others. We conclude by outlining some promising future directions in this domain, and indicating how this research could potentially be usefully applied to policy issues.
