Laboratory experiments constitute one of the main methodologies of CRED research. To develop our ideas on observing real-world group decision processes, we make direct observation on laboratory groups and relate these observations to subsequent decisions. This can lead both to better understanding of group processes and more efficient observation in the field. In an integrative approach we are striving for cross-fertilization between laboratory and field work.

Experience-Based vs. Description-Based Climate Related Decisions made by Individuals and Groups »
