About Robert Cialdini
Emeritus Regents Professor Robert Cialdini has spent his entire career researching the science of influence, earning him an international reputation as an expert in the fields of persuasion, compliance, and prosocial behavior.
Cialdini has published over 200 articles, books and reports.
