About
The Centre for Behavioural Experimental Action and Research (C-BEAR) is a collegial, interdisciplinary group of experts who use behavioural science and experimental methods to understand and address societal challenges. We integrate specialist knowledge in economics, politics, psychology, sociology, and management science to develop innovative and cutting-edge research. We employ an array of experimental methods, including laboratory, online, field, and natural experiments, as well as mathematical modelling and statistical analysis. C-BEAR is a hub that supports researchers and PhD students to develop research projects with social impact, and it helps industry and policymakers to achieve their goals by providing convincing evidence.

Accepting applications from PhD studentsEmail: D.Devine@soton.ac.uk
I am interested in the underlying processes that lead to observed human behaviour. How to discover these processes experimentally leads to a fascinating set of questions.
I combine theoretical and experimental methods to study topics around taxation, voting behaviour, collective deliberation, and freedom of choice.
