Rapoport received his doctoral degree in quantitative psychology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1965.[2] He was a distinguished professor of management and a highly cited scholar in the social sciences.[3] Rapoport has published articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Management Science, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, American Economic Review, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Marketing Science, Psychological Review, and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. He was best known for studying human decisions in social and interactive contexts with experimental and quantitative methods.[4]
