The College of Business Behavioral Lab

Advancing the study of human behavior

As part of the strategic objectives of the College of Business Research Committee, we have developed a Behavioral Lab in partnership with the Policy Simulation Lab focusing on human behavior. The lab is located on URI main Campus in South Kingstown. The interdisciplinary COB Behavioral Lab advances the study of human subjects in leading-edge research of human decision making and behavior in all areas.

This lab is designed to meet the needs of faculty in a controlled environment, bringing faculty together with similar interests and research goals with help to provide research support, assist in the collection of data, and help students gain an understanding and appreciation for research processes. The lab is available to College of Business faculty and graduate students that use human subjects for their research.

At the beginning of 2022, as part of the strategic objectives of the College of Business Research Committee, we formed a Behavioral Lab. This lab is an interdisciplinary lab designed for advancing the study of human subjects in leading-edge research of human decision making and behavior.

This lab is designed to meet the needs of faculty in a controlled environment, bring faculty together with similar interests, help provide research support, assist in the collection of data, and help students gain an understanding and appreciation for research processes.
