Deceptive choice architecture and behavioral audits: a principles‐based approach

LSE Research Online Documents on Economics from London School of Economics and Political Science, LSE Library

Abstract: Regulators are increasingly concerned about deceptive, online choice architecture, including dark patterns and behavioral sludge. From a behavioral science perspective, fostering a regulatory environment which reduces the economic harm caused by deceptive designs, while safeguarding the benefits of well-meaning behavioral insights, is essential. This article argues for a principles-based approach and proposes behavioral audits as a tool to support this approach.
