Our team of qualified behavioural science consultants applies the latest academic insights from behavioural economics, social psychology, and decision science to design innovative solutions for behaviour change in citizens, customers, and colleagues. We support governments, corporations, and non-profits in tackling some of the most critical social, ecological, economic and organisational challenges of our time, focussing throughout on human judgement and decision-making. Since its foundation in 2017, Affective has built a reputation as one of the most specialised teams in the field of applied behavioural science globally.
