Experimental Research

We carry out a wide variety of experiments in our laboratory landscape to very different topics. Using the results we are trying to analyze how people make decisions and how these decisions can be described by theories and models. Depending on the field different experiments are carried out, such investigations and optimization of negotiation situations or conducting scenario analyzes bundle. The experiments are designed by professors, academic staff and students in research projects, as well as in seminars and for theses.

Anyone can participate in the experiments! If we caught your interest, please register in our participants database. If there is a new experiment, you will be invited by e-mail.

Where do the participants come from?

For the experiments, we need participants. It can not only be joined by students but also external persons are invited to participate in experiments. Those who are interested can register in our database and then get invitations to different experiments.

What do the participants?

Before each experiment, test persons are given detailed instructions and an overview of what’s to come–previous knowledge and expertise are not required to participate. Transparency is paramount to us, so we pledge to never manipulate or lie to test persons and to conduct each and every experiment exactly as described.
