About
Yaniv Hanoch is a leading behavioral scientist whose research sits at the intersection of decision-making, risk-taking, and emerging technologies. His work explores how psychological and contextual factors shape human judgment, particularly in high-stakes environments. Hanoch is best known for pioneering studies on how robots influence human risk-taking behavior, as demonstrated in his highly cited paper “The Robot Made Me Do It: Human–Robot Interaction and Risk-Taking Behavior” (2020, 31 citations). This groundbreaking work used the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) to show that social pressure from robots can significantly alter human risk decisions—a finding with profound implications for human-robot collaboration in healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. Beyond robotics, Hanoch has made substantial contributions to understanding financial decision-making, medical decision-making, and the psychology of gambling. His research consistently bridges experimental psychology with real-world applications, earning him recognition as a thought leader in behavioral risk analysis. With a career spanning multiple disciplines, Hanoch continues to shape how we understand human behavior in an increasingly automated world.
