Robb Willer is an American sociologist.[1]
Biography
During graduate school, Willer worked as a union organizer for the United Auto Workers.[2]
Research
He and Matthew Feinberg developed the idea of "moral reframing".[3]
Willer's other research on politics emphasizes the effects of various forms of threat and anxiety on political attitudes, for example, the effects of racial status threats.[4] He has studied masculine overcompensation, showing that men whose masculinity has been threatened tend to adopt more stereotypically masculine attitudes on issues like war and gay rights.[5]
