 IAREP - International Association for Research in Economic Psychology
It studies the economic behaviour of individuals, and therefore belongs to the interface between Psychology and Economics.
The expression "Economic Psychology" was first used back in 1881, but it was only in the 1970's that the area gained greater visibility and autonomy.
The International Association for the Research in Economic Psychology - IAREP was created in 1982 and it gathers psychologists, experimental economists, administrators, specialists in marketing and information technology, among other researchers, who get together in annual conferences that take place in different cities in Europe and other parts of the world.

 Classics in the History of Psychology -- Munsterberg (1913) Chapter 19
The economic activity is separated from all other processes in the world, not by the fact that it involves labor and achievement by personalities, but by the fact that this labor satisfies a certain group of human desires which we acknowledge as economic.
Too often psychology is treated, even by psychologists, as if it covered every possible systematic treatment of inner experience, and correspondingly outsiders like the economists fancy that they are on psychological ground and are handling psychological conceptions as soon as they make any statements concerning the inner life.
Hence not a word of objection is raised against the discussions of the historians and the philosophers, if we insist that their so-called psychology stands outside of the really descriptive and explanatory account of mental life, and is therefore not psychology in the technical sense of the word.

 Economic Behavior of Children
Statement of purpose: Textbooks define economics as “the study of rational agents with insatiable desires and limited resources.” With the possible exception of the part about rationality, this definition seems to fit children at least as well as it fits adults.
In economic experiments on the voluntary provision of public goods, adults are more altruistic than the narrow definition of self interest would predict.
Our bibliography includes references to the literature on the economic behavior of children, and the associated literature on what children understand about adult economies, as well as what we perceive to be relevant or maybe just interesting articles from economics, psychology, and other fields.

 ScienceDirect - Journal of Economic Psychology : What is altruism?*1
There are three major interactional (rationalistic) theories of altruism, viz., "egoistic," "egocentric," and "altercentric." I call them "interactional" because, despite their differences, they model action after the standard economic approach, viz., as the outcome of optimization (see [Khalil, 2003b]).
In economics, it is developed further by [Hirshleifer and Rasmusen, 1989], and extended with an evolutionary perspective by [Guttman, 1996] and others.
This motivation is clearest in acts of self-sacrifice, where agents do not count on remaining alive to claim any benefit or, when the acts are executed spontaneously as in wars or emergencies, agents do not have time to fancy their imaginations with the pleasure of the recipients.
