    Dan Ariely and honesty...

    Dan Ariely is a Duke University professor of psychology and behavioral economics and author of best-selling books including “The Honest Truth about Dishonesty.”

    I have seen some of his TED talks, dealing with human psychology and honesty. He is a great speaker.

    Now it seems his work is being questioned on grounds that the data may be fraudulent.

    Quite a shock.

    Appears not to be the first time.

    The row over the honesty study is not the first time Ariely has been involved in controversy. In a 2010 interview on NPR he cited data from a dental company that the company said had not been collected and did not exist.The network later said that “Ariely’s unsubstantiated assertion unfairly hurt the reputation of many honest dentists and planted a seed of distrust with patients.”

    A number of Ariely’s other studies have also come under scrutiny, with external researchers later unable to replicate the results.


    from the linked article above.

    obviously not, but he’s the one that has been caught right now…
