Behavioral Science and Data Science

Behavioral science studies how people think, feel, and act, aiming to understand why they make certain choices and how their behavior can be influenced. Data science involves collecting and analyzing large amounts of data to uncover patterns, trends, and insights. When combined, these fields can predict human behavior more accurately and help design better strategies in areas like marketing, health, or public policy. Essentially, behavioral science explains human decision-making, while data science provides the tools to analyze data about those decisions to inform smarter, evidence-based actions.
