About

Rob has twenty years' experience of research and teaching in the fields of elections, public opinion, political psychology and survey methodology. Basically, he is interested in what people think about politics, where those opinions come from, and how we can go about measuring slippery things like beliefs, attitudes and values. Rob has worked on a large number of (often ESRC-funded) survey projects, most notably as a founding investigator on the Scottish Election Study series, and has particular expertise in the design of survey experiments.
