“I’m honored to play a small role in the high-quality research done at Kelley by our PhD candidates and faculty and am dedicated to creating a successful, smooth experience for both our researchers and participating students.”
Danielle WillibeyBehavioral Lab Manager
The Kelley Behavioral Lab is a dedicated multiuse research space designed to support research at the individual, group, and organizational levels in a wide variety of research domains, such as accounting, information systems, management, marketing, and operations.
The Behavioral Lab Manager is available to assist with administering research studies and surveys, scheduling lab space and online studies, running in-person studies, and participant recruitment.
Located in Hodge Hall, the behavioral lab has one central room providing 20 partitioned study carrels, each with a networked computer and headsets with microphones. Nine other computer classrooms with a capacity of at least 30 are available on a limited basis, with 25 headphones available for check out.
Also available for use by Kelley faculty and doctoral students is the Consumer Interface Lab managed by Ray Burke, Professor of Marketing.
“We are extremely grateful for the Kelley Lab, which provided us with a controlled environment to study manager-auditor negotiations, which requires back-and-forth interactions among pairs of students. We could not have conducted this important research without the use of the lab.”

The undergraduate subject pool is built each semester of students enrolled in Kelley School of Business classes, being offered survey participation for class credit, resulting in over 2,000 unique subjects available most semesters.
Subjects may also be sought from the general student body of over 50,000 at Indiana University, Bloomington, or from a worldwide pool utilizing third-party recruiting services with approved research funding from the school and beyond.
“The Behavioral Lab facilitated the collection of high-quality data from in-person participants for my dissertation. Danielle, the Behavioral Lab Manager, took care of every aspect of data collection: subject recruitment, subject management, monitoring of the lab sessions, and granting credit. The Behavioral Lab is an invaluable resource for performing experiments and conducting behavioral research.”
