The Behavioral Research lab is actively involved in the investigation of human decision making and behavior. A collection of Columbia faculty, post docs, graduate students, and research assistants, our research helps to illuminate some of the most interesting and complex processes of the human mind. Our study of everyday activities such as brand selection, impression formation, and internal and external influences on decision making allow us to make exciting contributions to the broad fields of psychology, sociology, and business.
