Behavioural Science and Creative Insights Lab
The Behavioural Science and Creative Insights Lab is an interdisciplinary behavioural science research group. Its mission is to conduct state-of-the-art research to provide a scientifically rigorous and ethically sound basis for effective decision-making, human achievements, and behaviour change.
The Lab brings together experts in behavioural science working in the fields of judgement and decision-making, basic and applied social psychology, and behaviour change? We study how people make judgements and decisions, how human behaviour can be predicted and changed, and how people interact with their environment to create innovative and adaptive solutions to the obstacles or dilemmas they encounter.
Please note: The Behavioural Science and Creative Insights Lab was previously named the Decision, Attitude, Risk and Thinking Research Group (DART).
