个人简介
Professor Willer’s teaching and research focus on social forces that bring people together (e.g., morality, altruism), forces that divide them (e.g., fear, prejudice), and domains of social life that feature the complex interplay of the two (e.g., hierarchies, politics).
The primary area of his research looks at the social and psychological forces shaping Americans’ political attitudes. He has a particular interest in techniques for overcoming polarization to build political consensus. He studies how political psychology findings can be applied to construct persuasive political messages.
Much of his political research suggests that attitudes and ideology are, in part, products of individuals' efforts to manage the threats they face in everyday life. For example, he has found that masculinity threats can influence men's attitudes towards war and gay rights. In other research, he finds a link between white Americans' views of welfare programs and the Tea Party and their perception that white advantage in the U.S. is declining.
The other main area of his research looks at how altruism, morality, and reputation systems promote cooperation and generosity. In this research he finds that many aspects of social life that are often seen as antisocial or malicious - such as gossip, moral judgments, and status hierarchies - are fundamental to social order. He also studies the dynamics of status and prestige, with a focus on the social psychological forces that stabilize hierarchies of rank. Recently, he has studied the role that emotions play in the moral judgments people form about one another, and how those judgments in turn can promote cooperation and solidarity in groups.
