Jet’s research broadly aims to answer three questions: (1) How does time (day, week or year) affect decision making and behaviour? (2) What are the psychological and physiological processes which underlie the effect of time on decision making and behaviour? (3) How can we use the answers to these questions to tackle some of today’s global challenges? Jet uses secondary data analysis of intra- and inter-individual differences, experimental methods and field studies to test the use behavioural and cognitive principles in the context of public health and wellbeing on a population scale.
