This talk provides an overview of research ongoing in the Behavioural Research Laboratory at Alliance Business School. The lab is a Faculty-wide facility for studying human behaviour in a controlled setting that enables researchers to combine various behavioural and psychophysiological tasks and measures. The broad agenda of the lab is to examine the cognitive and emotional processes that underpin well-being and performance in and around organizations. We will report on three recent projects working toward this agenda. The first is a project with collaborators in criminology examining reactions to witnessing direct versus indirect bystander interventions in harassment situations. The second is a project using physiological measures to investigate the role of emotion in decisions to invest in crowdfunding pitches. The third is a project on the self-prioritisation effect, which examines how biases in newly acquired information are influenced by cognitive preferences.
