Taya Cohen

Dr. Taya R. Cohen is a tenured Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Business Ethics at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. Her research cuts across disciplines to develop and rigorously test new theories about human behavior that can be applied in practice to solve difficult problems in business, law, and health care. Using theory and methods from the fields of organizational behavior, psychology, and business ethics, she investigates the cascading effects of individuals’ honesty and ethical choices on those they interact with and the organizations where they work.

Dr. Cohen earned a B.A. in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining the faculty at Carnegie Mellon, Dr. Cohen spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Dispute Resolution Research Center at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
