About
Dario Krpan is a behavioural scientist whose research spans the ethics of behavioural public policy, human–robot interaction, and the psychological underpinnings of decision-making. He is best known for critically examining the foundations of behavioural science in policy, particularly through his influential work on moving from libertarian paternalism toward a more liberal framework that respects individual autonomy in an age of new technology. His most-cited paper (2021, 10 citations) and its earlier version (2020, 6 citations) together form a cornerstone of this argument, sparking debate on the ethical limits of nudging. Krpan has also made notable contributions to human–robot psychology, developing the Positive–Negative–Competence (PNC) model (2023, 7 citations), which synthesises people’s affective, cognitive, and behavioural responses to robots—a framework increasingly relevant as AI and robotics become embedded in daily life. His work bridges theoretical innovation with real-world policy implications, earning him recognition as a thoughtful voice on the future of behavioural science. With a growing citation record and interdisciplinary reach, Krpan continues to shape how researchers and policymakers think about autonomy, technology, and human behaviour.
