Behavioural economics gives us frameworks to explore the complexity of human behaviour
People are poor witnesses to their own motivations. Behavioural Economics has helped us to better understand human behaviour by identifying the wide range of influences, from society and social
mores, to our own beliefs
In essence…..people function incredibly well most of the time by making less than perfect decisions
So Behavioural Economics helps us understand human judgement and decision making
Intuitively Emotionally Comparatively Quickly Effortlessly
Behavioural Economics acknowledges the inherent biases and distortions that characterise human judgement and
decision making
In a nutshell….the application of lessons from psychology to economic behaviour
in the real world

Galvanic Skin Response: Skin Deep – Cracking our Elusive System 1
We capture System 1 responses…
Allows us to access unconscious and
implicit System 1 responses to
stimulus and environments
1 2 3 4 5
...using GSR sensors
We use GSR sensors attached to the
first and middle fingers, which
measure skin conductance or the
amount you sweat in response to
different stimulus
...in different research scenarios
GSR can be used in a range of
different scenario from new comms
testing, to on pack information,
concept testing and in store
experiences
…by measuring physiological
responses
Every emotion or unconscious
response has a physiological
response e.g. increased heart rate,
muscle movement, sweating
...to understand key moments of
engagement
By combining traditional qual
research techniques and GSR
measurements we identify
unconscious key moments of
engagement and understand why
they are engaging
We use Galvanic Skin Response to measure unconscious reaction to stimulus and environments

What does GSR measure?
We use cutting edge technology to measure and explain emotional engagement with different stimulus
SKIN CONDUCTANCE"System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional - the under-the-surface gutresponse. We use GSR sensors to measure Skin Conductance. Whenexposed to different stimuli, sweat levels change, which is enough tochange the electrical conductivity of the skin.
VALENCE"System 2” is slower, more deliberative, and more logical - thecalculated, processed response. We use traditional qualitativequestioning techniques and in some cases use a vertical slider on atablet to help us understand how respondents are reacting to differentstimuli. We call this Valence
VALENCE + SKIN CONDUCTANCEBy combining Skin Conductance with Valence we can identifymoments of key engagement and understand why they are significant
What do we measure?

Each zone of engagement highlights peaks in emotional response. Each moment is recognised as having a percentage over 2%. A high moment of engagement can be measured between 7 – 11%.
SKIN CONDUCTANCE Skin conductance provides the ‘instant’ emotional impact
VALENCE Valence response provides the context of that emotional impact
How to Interpret Galvanic Skin Response Data
Graphing skin conductance and valence data presents a narrative of emotional engagement

When discussing quality spontaneously some signifiers got more of a visceral reaction and interest than others
Even though these weren’t verbalised as key priorities when discussing quality, their unconscious response shows
they have an important role to play in choice. These are the areas that need to be dialled up on pack

A VIEW INTO THE SYSTEM 1 BRAIN
Allows us to get a glimpse into our
unconscious System 1 brain which is
responsible for as much as 95% of
our everyday decision making,
providing key insights that can
influence the products or
experiences we deliver
IMPROVED BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Understanding how consumers
interact emotionally can improve
performance on many different
metrics e.g. recent research has
shown emotive ad campaigns can
lead to a 30% uplift in sales and a
three fold increase in brand loyalty
