Expilab.com is our new home
Expilab has found its new independent home, inheriting the expertise and team from Gravitas Research's Behavioral and Experimental Research group. Reflecting on our journey, including significant projects like NHS Choices with top institutions, we're proud of our growth and achievements. Last year, Expilab conducted large-scale experiments for the European Commission, engaging over 30,000 participants across 13 EU member states. Now, as a smaller, more flexible team, we look forward to innovative research and engaging with you through our new website and blog. Join us in exploring the future of behavioural research.
Finally, Expilab project found its new and an independent home. From now on we are a new organization that inherited the team, the knowledge and expertise from Behavioral and Experimental Research group at Gravitas Research. We are saying great thanks to the Gravitas Research and its team. It is our Alma mater! You know that we grew up and now we are ready to sail under our own sails. Thanks for pushing us out of the nest! So, now Yan, Alex^3, Andrew and myself are the Expilab crowd.
When thinking about those 5 years with Gravitas Research, all of us are thinking about the same – our first “big” experimental research project. This project was NHS Choices that we did together with IESE Business School, London School of Economics and Political Science and The King’s Fund. It was an amazing experience that gave a possibility to enter the big world of behavioural research running both laboratory and online experiments at Behavioral Research Lab (BLR) at LSE and with Maximilies panels. If you are interested, you can read more about this project here.
It is really a cool moment for us here at Expilab and here is why it is cool for us. Last year Expilab as a project achieved quite a remarkable level. Only last year:
- 2 large scale online experiments done for European Commission
- People from 13 EU member states took part in the experiments we conducted
- More than 30,000 people entering our behavioural experiments
- 4 laboratory experiments with more than 1500 people
- Developed 2 new online environments including a fully-functional online gambling environment
Now, about the future. Since we are a much smaller team now, we are more easy-going and flexible. With our new website (kudos to Alex) it is really simple to get in touch with us (here…). We are also on Twitter. This blog is our collective space we invite you to comment or share your content related to behavioural research and experiments, new research methodologies or ideas that may be crowdfunded. Though it is the first post, lets see how we move further.

After the announcement of WhatsApp on its new terms of use of users’ data, we feel that somehow full transparency of privacy concerns is not always the best strategy to gain credibility.
How companies can increase personal data consent? Consumers’ reluctance to reveal their personal information is primarily triggered by the lack of adequate info, so companies can address that by providing clear and direct information of destination and purpose of data collected.

The European Union (EU) began the implementation of the GDPR (General Data Privacy Regulation) in May 2018 with the aim of developing a legal framework that provides more control over the use of personal data obtained through online services or databases. Today, the discussion has begun in countries such as Brazil with the aim of providing users with greater security and knowledge of their actions, and to avoid repeating episodes such as Cambridge Analytica and Facebook

This article presents the results of a laboratory experiment and an online multi-country experiment testing the effect of motor vehicle eco-labels on consumers. The laboratory study featured a discrete choice task and questions on comprehension, while the ten countries online experiment included measures of willingness to pay and comprehension. Labels focusing on fuel economy or running costs are better understood, and influence choice about money-related eco-friendly behavior. We suggest that this effect comes through mental accounting of fuel economy. In the absence of a cost-saving frame, we do not find a similar effect of information on CO2 emissions and eco-friendliness. Labels do not perform as well as promotional materials. Being embedded into a setting, which is designed to capture the attention, the latter are more effective. We found also that large and expensive cars tend to be undervalued once fuel economy is highlighted.
Our approach combines the power of Behavioural Science and Human-Centered Design to craft innovative products and experiences that resonate with what people truly want and need.
