The institute was formally established on August 25, 1955, as a joint venture between the Government of Thailand and UNESCO. It was then known both as the "International Institute for Child Study" (IICS) and the "Bangkok Institute for Child Study."
In August 1975, when the former College of Education changed its status to that of a university and was named Srinakharinwirot University, the institute (IICS) also changed its name to “Behavioral Science Research Institute” due to the enhanced scope of work. Its status was then recognized the same as that of a distinct faculty.
The BSRI has three main functions: research, teaching and social engagement. Regarding its main research function, the institute has been conducting behavioral science research in many areas that seek to explain behavior from an integration of knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, economics, and political science. The areas of research contribution include child development, family study, work socialization, health promotion behavior, youth problems and development, professional development, peace and conflict in family, work and community, just to name a few. Cross cultural research projects have also been conducted at the BSRI to foster research collaboration at international levels.
