Robb Willer is an American sociologist.


Biography

During graduate school, Willer worked as a union organizer for the United Auto Workers.


Research

He and Matthew Feinberg developed the idea of "moral reframing". 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. 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.
