Students are popular test subjects for many studies in behavioral sciences. However, using only students does not reveal the full picture about people in general. In fact, many of the students' decisions in those experiments differ from those of other population groups. These are the findings of a new, extensive study consisting of 36 experiments which was conducted by a team of behavioral scientists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). The study was published in the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
