Diego Rivera
Welcome,
Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Richard Bagozzi and over a period of 47 years I was a professor of behavioral science in management (business), as well as a professor of psychology once, at the University of California, Berkeley, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Rice University, and the University of Michigan. I am retired now but continue to do research and advise students from across the world.
My academic life has been filled with the study of human action (“[An agent is] one who acts. The central problem of agency is to understand the difference between events happening in me or to me, and my taking control of events, or doing things." Blackburn, 1994, p. 9, Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy), where I focus on individual, interpersonal, and group behavior of people living under tensions between larger societal forces, such as between capitalism and socialism, and where my studies investigate consumers, everyday citizens, managers, nurses, doctors, and patients. Some of this work explores government, organizations, and people doing good and doing bad in their lives and its implications for their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the environment, institutions, and people they influence. Social psychology, emotion research, and other sources from the social and behavioral sciences undergird these studies. Surveys, qualitative research, and field and laboratory experimentation serve as the methods of inquiry, which often draw upon structural equation models and related statistical procedures. In addition to traditional investigations of people using classic questionnaire designs and related approaches, I draw upon and do neuroscience, using fMRI and EEG, as well as hormonal and genetic research.
This website has a link to my CV and Google Scholar page, as well as contact information, a brief biography, and a summary of my contributions.
Note on the banner of "Man at the Crossroads Looking with Hope and High Vision to the Choosing of a New and Better Future" by Diego Rivera: As the son of immigrants and growing up in an immigrant community in the USA, and with a beloved uncle on one side of the family who was a communist and a beloved grandfather on the other side of the family who was a socialist, I never had the knee-jerk negative reactions many Americans have toward communism and socialism, but rather tried to understand these points of view, to better form my own worldview. I identified a lot with the social and political views of Diego Rivera. Growing up in the city where he did his "Detroit Industry Murals" at the Detroit Institute of Arts, I often visited his murals to reflect upon them and contemplate their meaning for me and society. Here is a short and nice commentary on "Man at the Crossroads".
