About

Engin Boztepe is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of risk perception, decision-making, and behavioral science. His most-cited paper, “Individual Risk Perceptions and Behavior” (2021, 18 citations), critically examines how people interpret and respond to risk, challenging conventional approaches that oversimplify this complex concept. Boztepe argues that decisions are often shaped by limited perception rather than a full understanding of risk, leading to flawed behavioral outcomes. This contribution is particularly valuable for fields such as public health, emergency management, and policy design, where accurate risk communication is essential. By highlighting the gap between perceived and actual risk, Boztepe’s work encourages more nuanced frameworks for studying human behavior under uncertainty. His research offers practical insights for developing interventions that align with how individuals truly process risk. As a scholar, Boztepe continues to explore the cognitive and social dimensions of risk, making his work a key reference for students and researchers seeking to understand the psychological underpinnings of decision-making in high-stakes environments.
