Navigating the World of Behavioral Economics Experiments

Introduction to Behavioral Economics Experiments

Behavioral economics experiments investigate the myriad ways in which individuals make economic decisions. These experiments often involve scenarios where participants must make choices, revealing insights into their preferences, biases, and decision-making strategies.

The Power of jsPsych

jsPsych is a potent JavaScript library tailored for crafting online behavioral experiments. Its flexibility ensures that creating intricate experimental designs – essential for behavioral economics – becomes streamlined:

• Flexibility: From basic surveys to complex decision-making tasks, jsPsych can handle a vast range of experimental designs.
• Customization: Modify and tailor your experiments to your precise requirements.
• Community & Resources: A large community of users and a plethora of tutorials make the journey smoother.

Why Cognition is Your Perfect Partner

While jsPsych provides the tools for crafting the experiment, Cognition takes care of the logistical aspects, ensuring that researchers can focus solely on their study:

• Experiment Hosting: No need for separate web hosting; Cognition hosts your experiment, offering global accessibility.
• Database Scripts: Forget about backend complexities. Cognition manages data storage without the need for manual scripting.
• SSL & Security: With built-in SSL, Cognition ensures that your data remains secure and private.
• Real-time Data Collection: As participants complete your experiment, Cognition gathers the data in real-time, available for export when needed.
