JDM LAB is a research laboratory at the Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialization (DPSS) of the University of Padua. We conduct research, consulting, and outreach activities to improve people's and society's well-being.<\/span><\/p>

Our mission is to improve the quality of the decisions that people make because all our actions are the result of a decision. Decades of research in psychology and behavioral economics demonstrated that our decisions are systematically biased and that, as individuals, we are very bad at predicting what will make us happy.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone makes mistakes when deciding, even experts. That is why, knowing how to avoid the distortions that characterize our decisions is also fundamental for companies and public officers.<\/span><\/p>

Teams that are good at discussing and deciding effectively are more productive, have less conflicts and waste less resources improving the outcomes of a company or the virtuous management of public resources.<\/span><\/p>

Through choice architecture, it is possible to create conditions that promote effective decision making, to achieve goals, beat the competitors or enjoy life more.<\/span><\/p>
