Abstract: Laboratory experiments belong in the methodical tool box of modern sociological scholarship. This chapter reviews the main points that researchers wanting to conduct a computerized, behavioral laboratory experiment should take into consideration. In particular, the chapter discusses (1) the organization of experimental sessions, (2) the set-up of experimental conditions, (3) the recruitment of study participants, (4) the presentation of experimental instructions, (5) the use of deception, (6) the design of decision and information feedback screens, (7) the implementation of the interaction situation, and (8) the employment of participant compensation. The chapter concludes with remarks on how lab experimental research in sociology can be planned, written up and published.
