Article - A Proposed Framework for Behavioral Accounting Research Vol. 23, No. 1 1–43
Behavioral accounting research BAR is richer today, in the topics cov-
ered, the methods used, and the range of sub-areas of accounting in which it is per-
formed, than ever before. This paper offers a framework within which BAR literature can
be viewed as a whole rather than in segments, such as by accounting sub-areas or by
research method. The framework classifies BAR by the focus of the research: the
individual, group, organization, or the society within which accounting exists. The pur-
pose of the framework is to help researchers in BAR to appreciate the insights to their
research questions that can be found in BAR using another research method or study-
ing a similar issue in another sub-area of accounting. Existing research in each of these
four areas is discussed to illustrate the usefulness of the framework. In addition, be-
havioral research in other disciplines that could impact BAR and areas of potential
future research are discussed.
