Measuring Peoples' Choice Behavior

Date: Wednesday 25 May 2016
Time: 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: Swift Suite

Organizers: Tobias Heffelaar (Noldus Information Technology BV) and Maurizio Mauri (IULM University in Milan).

Every day people make thousands of choices. What do I wear for my meeting with my client? is this the proper speed for driving given the current weather conditions? What shall I have for dinner? Do I like this person or not? Do I want to have children? Shall I take this job?

Some choices are easier to make then others, some choices affect only yourself and others affect your environment. Some choices are strongly influenced by external factors, while others are mostly internally driven.

All these factors make choice an important and complex part of everyday life. It also is an important topic for behavioral scientists. In this symposium we will present several studies from different fields, highlighting the methods for measuring and interpreting choice behavior.
