Behavioral ethics is a field of social scientific research that seeks to understand how individuals behave when confronted with ethical dilemmas.[1][2] It refers to behavior that is judged within the context of social situations and compared to generally accepted behavioral norms.[3][4]
Ethics, a subsidiary of philosophy, is defined as the communal understanding of social and normative values in a particular society. Compared to normative ethics, which determines the 'right' or 'wrong' of individual situations, behavioral ethics is more similar to applied ethics, a subdivision dedicated to the more practical and real-world considerations of moral dilemmas.
