Behavioral Research Lab

The Behavioral Research Lab (BRL) at the College of Business Administration (CBA) was founded in 2010 with financial support from Equate Petrochemicals Company. Originally, the lab was housed in the Al-Shuwaikh CBA Campus and contained a data collection computer lab. Researchers were able to design behavioral research using questionnaire-based experiments in a controlled environment. In 2021, the lab was relocated to the Al-Shedadiya CBA Campus (S-01-0B-1026) with additional financial support from Equate Petrochemicals Company. The new lab will be equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software to support behavioral research methods in the State of Kuwait. The lab will be fully commissioned in Spring 2022.

Mission

Research is primarily conducted in the fields of behavioral marketing, behavioral management, behavioral operational research, behavioral decision making, and experimental economics. The lab is available for use by all Kuwait University faculty members and master students.
