ARMAYONES RUIZ, Manuel  and  ARMAYONES CARRANZA, Laura. Observational study on the creation and typology of behavioral design units in international organizations. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.1-10.  Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1886-1415.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.3026.

Recently, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, presented a technical note on behavioral science (United Nations, 2021) and its application by different UN organizations, in order to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Other supranational organizations are also setting up their own «behavioral analysis and design units» or leading specific initiatives. So far, the structure of such behavioral analysis units has not been examined. The aim of our work is to find out, through an observational study of their websites, both the structure of the behavior analysis and design units of supranational organizations and their composition, as well as the main types of projects they carry out and the opportunities and implications created for psychology professionals.

Keywords : Behavior design; Psychology; Analysis; Supranational organizations; Behavioral insights units; Career opportunity.
