Eugene M. Caruso is a Professor of Management and Organizations and Behavioral Decision Making at UCLA Anderson School of Management. His research sits at the intersection of social psychology, behavioral economics, and judgment and decision-making. Caruso primarily explores how people perceive others’ intentions, including the cognitive biases and egocentrism that lead to misinterpretations when individuals evaluate shared information. He also investigates temporal perception, examining how people view events differently depending on whether they occur in the past versus the future and how that timing shapes moral, ethical, and emotional judgments like envy and fairness. Additionally, his work focuses on group dynamics, negotiation, and the psychological mechanisms behind moral reasoning and how individuals allocate credit or blame in collaborative environments.
