Behavioural Science Workshop Series

这一系列研讨会的目的是在英国和欧洲建立一个行为科学研究人员的领先网络，并促进经济学和心理学研究人员之间的跨学科交流。我们利用与学术界的强大联系网络和与私营部门组织的正式联系来编制拟议的丛书。演讲者网络由来自英国、美国、荷兰、德国和爱尔兰的学者组成。它还受益于与学术界以外的紧密联系，包括领先的政策研究咨询公司盖洛普欧洲（Gallup Europe）。总共有25位演讲者承诺参加，他们是世界上使用前沿测量方法、大规模二级数据库和创新分析解决方案来解决重大经济和社会问题的领导者。然而，存在一系列广泛的挑战，这些挑战可能限制这一研究议程的进展。特别是，超越学科界限来理解幸福、个性和生物功能的关键指标仍然是经济学中的一个挑战。在心理学方面，迫切需要提高对大规模数据基的认识，并需要改进分析和管理这种数据资源所需的技能。我们的目标是产生跨学科交流，这将提高经济学和心理学研究人员利用社会科学最新数据创新的能力。研讨会系列的六个讲习班将集中讨论与ESRC 2011-2015年交付计划中列出的ESRC关键优先事项密切相关的主题。其中包括更好地理解“经济绩效和可持续增长”、“影响行为并为干预提供信息”，以及一个“充满活力和公平的社会”。该系列的每个工作坊旨在加强测量工具的理论，设计和使用之间的相互联系，以及它们在社会问题和公共政策中的应用。具体来说，我们的目标是将经济学和心理学在自然联系特别高的六个关键研究和实践领域结合起来，每个领域都解决了支撑ESRC每个优先事项的关键问题。该系列研讨会将集中于以下六个主要主题：1)二手数据和生命周期模型2)增加社会科学调查数据的丰富性和频率3)福祉4)偏好和个性5)行为科学中的生物标记6)行为科学和公共政策。该系列旨在在学术领域外和学术界中产生重大的长期和短期影响。知识将立即得到传播，一些私营和公共部门组织将对研究工具和方法产生直接兴趣。从长远来看，通过我们在这里开始的过程，心理学和经济学之间更好地结合起来，政策和干预将得到更好的信息。

The purpose of this series of seminars is to develop a leading network of researchers in behavioural science in the UK and Europe and to foster interdisciplinary exchange between researchers in economics and psychology. We have drawn on a strong network of links to academics and formal links to private sector organizations to develop the proposed series. The network of speakers is composed of academics from the UK, the US, the Netherlands, Germany, and Ireland. It also benefits from strong ties outside the academic sector including Gallup Europe, a leading policy-research consultancy company.Collectively the 25 speakers who have committed to participate are world-leaders in the effort to address major economic and societal questions using frontier measurement methods, large-scale secondary databases, and innovative analytic solutions. However, a broad set of challenges exists that could constrain the progress of this research agenda. In particular, transcending disciplinary boundaries to understand key measures of well-being, personality, and biological functioning remains a challenge in economics. In psychology, there is a strong need for increased awareness of large-scale databases and for the skills needed to analyse and manage such data resources to be improved. We aim to generate inter-disciplinary exchange that will enhance the capacity of researchers from both economics and psychology to capitalize on recent data innovations in social science. The six workshops in the seminar series will focus on topics strongly related to the ESRC's key priorities as set out in the ESRC's Delivery Plan 2011-2015. These include generating a better understanding of "economic performance and sustainable growth", "influencing behaviour and informing interventions", and a "vibrant and fair society". Each workshop in the series aims to enhance the interlinkages between theory, the design and usage of measurement tools, and their application to social issues and public policy. Specifically, we aim to bring together economics and psychology in six key areas of research and practice where the natural linkage is especially high, each of which addresses a critical issue underpinning each of the ESRC priorities. The seminar series will focus on the following six major themes: 1) Secondary data and life-span models2) Increasing the richness and frequency of social science survey data 3) Well-being 4) Preferences and personality5) Biological markers in behavioural science6) Behavioural science and public policyThis series aims to have significant long and short impact both outside the academic sphere and amongst the academic community. Immediately, knowledge will be disseminated and awareness of research tools and methods of immediate interest to several private and public sector organisations will be generated. In the long term, policy and interventions will be better informed with a better integration between psychology and economics developed through the process we begin here.
