Aims & Scope

Drawing from a broad spectrum of social, biological, health, and physical science disciplines, Nature Human Behaviour publishes research of outstanding significance into any aspect of individual or collective human behaviour.

How do humans perceive, think, feel, decide, and act?

How do they interact with their environments and others?

How do these abilities develop and decline over the lifespan?

How do they evolve and compare with other species?

How do they vary among individuals, groups, and cultures?

How are they shaped by socioeconomic and political factors?

How are they affected by disease or deprivation?

What interventions can influence individual behaviours or outcomes?

The journal welcomes research from any discipline that provides significant original insight into these questions.
