Understanding cognitive biases, choice architecture, and psychological drivers to design better research and interpret results more accurately.
Traditional market research assumes rational decision-making, but decades of behavioral research show that consumers are predictably irrational. Understanding these patterns is crucial for generating actionable insights.
This comprehensive guide demonstrates how integrating behavioral economics principles into research design and analysis can improve insight quality by up to 50% while reducing respondent bias and increasing predictive accuracy.
Consumer decisions operate through three interconnected systems: automatic (instinctive), reflective (analytical), and social (influenced by others). Understanding how these systems interact helps researchers design more effective studies and interpret results more accurately.
The guide provides a systematic 8-step framework for integrating behavioral insights into research design, from initial planning through final analysis and reporting. This approach has been validated across 150+ studies with consistent improvements in insight quality and business impact.
