Global Society and Behavioral Sciences (GSBS) is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research in the social and behavioral sciences, with a focus on human behavior, societal dynamics, and their interactions within a global context. The journal aims to provide a high-quality academic platform for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to foster deeper understanding and innovative solutions to global challenges, such as cultural diversity, social inequality, environmental change, and technological transformation.

Aim

Global Society and Behavioral Sciences is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the study, application, and integration of social sciences and behavioral sciences in the context of globalization. As globalization reshapes human interactions, cultural dynamics, and social structures—affecting fields such as public policy, cross-cultural communication, environmental governance, and public health—this journal serves as a platform for cutting-edge research on the interplay between global societal changes and human behavior. It focuses on cross-disciplinary collaboration, evidence-based analysis, and practical solutions to address global social and behavioral challenges.

Scopes

The journal covers interdisciplinary research at the intersection of global society and human behavior, including but not limited to the following areas:

1. Globalization and Behavioral Dynamics

• The impact of globalization on individual values, identity formation, and behavioral choices (e.g., global citizenship, transnational cultural identity, and consumer behavior in global markets).
• Behavioral changes driven by global events (e.g., pandemics, technological revolutions, and economic crises) and their implications for global social systems.
• Cross-cultural differences and commonalities in social norms, moral judgments, and prosocial behavior (e.g., cooperation, altruism, and fairness perception across cultures).

2. Cross-Cultural Interaction and Social Integration

• Immigrant and refugee adaptation behavior (e.g., cultural integration, language acquisition, employment choices, and identity reconstruction in host countries).
• Cross-cultural communication and conflict resolution (e.g., behavioral barriers to intercultural communication, strategies for reducing cultural conflict, and intercultural collaboration in global teams).
• The role of social networks in facilitating transnational social integration (e.g., virtual social networks for immigrant communities, global professional networks, and cross-border family ties).

3. Global Public Issues and Behavioral Intervention

• Public health behavior in global contexts (e.g., vaccine acceptance, health-seeking behavior, and adherence to global public health guidelines across cultures).
• Environmental behavior and sustainable development (e.g., individual and collective action for climate change mitigation, cross-national differences in pro-environmental behavior, and global environmental education strategies).
• Social justice and equitable behavior (e.g., behavioral responses to global inequality, attitudes toward poverty alleviation, and support for global social justice initiatives).

4. Digital Technology and Global Behavioral Transformation

• The impact of digital technology on global behavior (e.g., social media use, information-seeking behavior, and cross-border digital communication patterns).
• Digital inequality and its behavioral consequences (e.g., the digital divide’s effect on educational behavior, employment opportunities, and access to global information).
• Ethical issues in digital global behavior (e.g., privacy concerns, misinformation spread, and algorithmic bias in cross-cultural digital platforms).

5. Global Policy and Behavioral Insights

• Behavioral insights for global policy design (e.g., using nudges to promote compliance with international agreements, behavioral strategies for global tax cooperation, and public engagement in global governance).
• The role of behavior in implementing global development goals (e.g., behavioral barriers to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, strategies to enhance public participation in global development initiatives).
• Cross-national comparisons of policy-induced behavioral changes (e.g., how different countries’ policies influence public health behavior, environmental behavior, and social equity).

6. Research Methods in Global Society and Behavioral Sciences

• Advanced methods for global-scale behavioral research (e.g., cross-cultural experimental design, transnational longitudinal studies, big data analysis of global behavioral patterns, and comparative ethnography).
• Validation and adaptation of behavioral science theories in non-Western and diverse cultural contexts (e.g., testing Western behavioral economics theories in Asian, African, or Latin American cultures).
• Ethical considerations in global behavioral research (e.g., cultural sensitivity in data collection, informed consent in cross-cultural studies, and equitable benefit-sharing with research participants in developing countries).
