The Wharton Behavioral Lab

The Wharton Behavioral Lab (WBL) provides world-class support to help Wharton faculty and students investigate fundamental questions about how people think, act, and make decisions. The WBL staff, technology, and lab space enhance the productivity of scholars at Wharton by recruiting participants and running experiments.
