The impact of bias on individual decision making has been widely explored, yet we actually do not know so much about how bias and discrimination happen in teams and groups. In this episode of Brain for Business, Brain for Life, behavioural economist Professor Vessela Daskalova of University College Dublin, tells us about her own experimental research into role of social identity and the “in-group/out-group” bias in group decision making. Professor Vessela Daskalova is an Assistant Professor of economics at University College Dublin, a Fellow at the Geary Institute for Public Policy, and Associate Faculty at Toulouse School of Economics. As a researcher in the areas of Behavioural and Experimental Economics, Microeconomic Theory, and Political Economy, Professor Daskalova focuses on the areas of discrimination, social identity, and bounded rationality. As part of this, much of her research is dedicated to trying to better understand decision making in both individual and strategic/collective decision making situations.

Series 1, Episode 34: Do teams and groups discriminate differently to individuals? With Professor Vessela Daskalova, University College Dublin
Brain for Business
The Brain for Business, Brain for Life podcast takes the lessons from evidence-based academic research in the brain, behavioural and organisational sciences - neuroscience, psychology, behavioural economics and more - and brings them to life for a business and organisational audience.
Over the series we will speak to a range of neuroscientists, psychologists, behavioural economists, researchers and organisational practitioners, and look at some of the key aspects of human behaviour relevant to business and management practice. In so doing, we will seek to understand not just the what but also the how and the why – and how it can be done differently
Our overall goal? To build a bridge from research into the brain and behavioural sciences to practical, everyday insights and to help leaders at all levels within organisations enhance their effectiveness.
