This session is for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals working in psychology.
This disciplinary stream is meant to bring together all scholars who study human behavior using methodological approaches that allow for causal inference. This encompasses lab and field experiments and randomized control trials (RCT) and may also include those who use propensity-score matching, difference-in-difference, and similar methods to explore causality. Scholars in experimental psychology, behavioral economics, organizational behavior and management, public health, and other fields may find this relevant to their work. Together we will discuss (1) the ethics of experimentation, (2) power and empowerment in the generation of knowledge, and (3) open-science approaches, collaboration, and consultation. The session will be three hours long and will require some preliminary reading.
