Behavioral Decision-Making I: Choice

Graduate / Professional

The purpose of this seminar is to provide Ph.D.-level coverage of the psychology of decision making, focusing on choice. Although the normative issue of how choices should be made is relevant, the descriptive issue of how choices are made is the main focus of the course. In addition to examining prior choice research, the goal of this seminar is to improve your ability to identify interesting research questions and develop effective experiments for testing them. Students generally enroll from a variety of disciplines, including cognitive and social psychology, behavioral economics, finance, marketing, political science, medicine, and public health.
