Consumer neuroscience is evaluated critically, and ethical behavioral influence is emphasized.
Students examine the central question: How does psychological science explain consumer behavior, influence, trust, preference, decision journeys, and marketplace behavior?

- Integrate contemporary applications involving AI, personalization, recommendation systems, behavioral data, predictive analytics, digital behavior, and social media.
- Facilitate critical discussion of ethical issues involving behavioral influence, persuasion, privacy, targeting, consumer data, and vulnerable populations.
- Guide students in translating consumer research and behavioral evidence into practical organizational recommendations.
- Provide timely, substantive feedback on student work.
- Support students in developing applied practitioner tools, including consumer behavior diagnostics, decision journey maps, behavioral marketing strategies, ethical influence frameworks, and executive-level consumer insights.
