Welcome to Symbiosis Centre for Behavioural Sciences
The study of Human Behaviour is an interplay between one’s thoughts, feelings and actions. At the Symbiosis Centre for Behavioural Sciences (SCBS), we are committed to advancing transformative, interdisciplinary research that enhances human welfare and addresses pressing societal challenges. Our centre promotes collaboration across academia and industry, fostering behavioural science research that is both scientifically rigorous and socially relevant.
SCBS focuses on a wide spectrum of research in Social and Behavioural Studies, including consumer behaviour, women entrepreneurship, community-based socio-economic development, workplace wellness, youth engagement, and gender equity. Our research delves into how physical activity influences affective, cognitive, and social functioning, with an emphasis on early developmental outcomes. In the domain of Psychology and Mental Health, SCBS addresses behavioural addictions, mental health impacts, yoga-based physiological interventions, nutritional awareness and eating habits, youth sleep studies using EEG, and the neurobiological links between diet and mental well-being. Our work in Neuroimaging and Health Behaviour spans research on lifestyle diseases, substance abuse, malnutrition, and obesity—particularly their effects on adolescent and adult health.
It is exciting to head this vibrant and socially pertinent research centre, and I look forward to enthusiastic participation from both scholars and practitioners in this endeavour!
