Dan Ariely (Hebrew: דן אריאלי; born April 29, 1967) is an Israeli-American professor and author. He serves as a James B. Duke Professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. Ariely is the co-founder of several companies implementing insights from behavioral science.[1] Ariely wrote an advice column called Ask Ariely in the WSJ from June 2012 until September 2022.[2] Ariely is the author of the three New York Times best selling books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty.[3] He co-produced the 2015 documentary (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies.[4]
In 2021, a paper with Ariely as the fourth author was discovered to be based on falsified data and was subsequently retracted.[5][6] In 2024, Duke completed a 3-year confidential investigation and according to Ariely concluded that "data from the honesty-pledge paper had been falsified but found no evidence that Ariely used fake data knowingly".[7]
Dan Ariely’s life, research and best-selling book "Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions" inspired the television series, The Irrational. The Irrational is a NBC television series inspired by the life and research of Dan Ariely.[8] It premiered on September 25, 2023.[9]
