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. He is the co-founder of several companies implementing insights from behavioral science.[1] Ariely wrote an advice column called "Ask Ariely" in The Wall Street Journal from June 2012 until September 2022.[2] He 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 three-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]
Ariely's life, research, and book Predictably Irrational inspired the NBC television series The Irrational;[8] it premiered on September 25, 2023.[9]
