The Problematic Welfare Standards of Behavioral Paternalism

Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2015
Behavioral paternalism raises deep concerns that do not arise in traditional welfare economics. These concerns stem from behavioral paternalism’s acceptance of the defining axioms of neoclassical rationality for normative purposes, despite having rejected them as positive descriptions of reality.

Paternalism After Behavioral Economics

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization
Is paternalism legitimate? Might it increase welfare? When would it compromise autonomy in some impermissible way? The outpouring of empirical work on cognitive biases, and on departures from perfect rationality, has led to a wholesale rethinking of paternalism and its limits.

Paternalism and Health Behavior

1997
Smoking is a preventable health risk to smokers as well as to nonsmokers who are exposed to tobacco smoke (Eriksson, LaMaistre, & Newell, 1988; Healthy People 2000, 1991; Peto, 1994), and costs related to the use of tobacco are substantial (Hocking, Grain, & Gordon, 1994). It is therefore not surprising that far-reaching measures have been suggested to

Paternal behavior in the california mouse, Peromyscus californicus

Behavioral Biology, 1974
Parental behavior was observed in Peromyscus californicus parasiticus that had been live trapped as adults and bred in the laboratory. Both male and female parents spent more time in the nest with their pups when their mate had left the nest or had been removed from the cage. Both parents gathered and cared for scattered pups equally readily.

Alloparental Behavior and Paternal Behavior in Nonhuman Mammals

2020
Abstract Chapter 7 examines alloparental and paternal behavior. Although these behaviors are rare in mammals, their occurrence indicates that parental behavior can occur in the absence of pregnancy and parturition. For mammals of both sexes, dual brain circuits affect whether parental behavior occurs: An inhibitory defensive circuit ...

Paternal Involvement and Children's Behavior Problems

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1999
Although a large number of studies have examined associations between paternal involvement and children's outcomes, most are based on a single source of data or fail to control for maternal involvement. We used data from the National Survey of Families and Households (n = 994) to test the hypothesis that positive father involvement is associated with ...

High Paternity without Paternity-Assurance Behavior in the Purple Sandpiper, a Species with High Paternal Investment

The Auk, 1998
Among birds, males investing highly in paternal care should be under par- ticularly strong selection pressure to prevent extrapair paternity in their broods. Current literature implies that to obtain a high certainty of paternity, males should invest in pater- nity-assurance behaviors, and this makes them more likely to increase their investment in ...

The Four Pillars of Behavioral Paternalism

2016
The development of new paternalism has added a whole new dimension to the increasing power and reach of the state. It creates the impression that areas of behavior which were previously in the domain of private individual behavior can be brought under the domain of state concerns with only minimal restrictions on liberty and autonomy.

Paternal behavioral mutagenesis.

Neurotoxicology, 1990
Cocaine hydrochloride (0 to 30 mg/kg, s.c.) was administered daily for a minimum of 72 days to Long Evans rats. Animals receiving the lower doses were pair fed to animals receiving the higher dose. Males were bred to untreated females. Paternal cocaine administration did not affect litter size, birth weight, or weight at weaning, but did result in ...

Paternal Behavior from a Neuroendocrine Perspective

2020
How hormones and neuromodulators initiate and maintain paternal care is important for understanding the evolution of paternal care and the plasticity of the social brain. The focus here is on mammalian paternal behavior in rodents, non-human primates and humans.
