Fred Cutler (Ph.D. Michigan) does research in public opinion, elections, federalism, and political psychology. He is also an educational technology leader and a startup founder who teaches courses based on teamwork. Fred insists that you call him Fred, whoever you are. Fred has published in POQ, JOP, BJPolS, CJPS, Publius, Political Geography, Electoral Studies, and has chapters in various edited volumes. A recent research project involves lab experiments to understand the effects of different numbers of political parties on voters and their satisfaction with democracy (electoraldemocracy.com). He received SSHRCC funding on a project called Polls and Elections. His earlier research focused on the effect of federalism on political behaviour and government accountability. Much of his work has investigated the influence of the local social and economic environment on how people think about politics. Fred was one of four investigators on the Canadian Election Study 2011 and 2015, the flagship academic survey on Canadian public opinion and voting behaviour.

I am a Professor in the Departments of Communication and Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. My research focuses on political communication, political psychology, and the relationships between public policy, public opinion, and mass media. I have been particularly interested in negativity (and positivity) in news coverage, and the role of mass media in representative democracy. This site includes descriptions of these ongoing Projects, published Research (including data and content analytic tools), my Lab & Teaching, and links to recent News & Blogs related to my work.

Did my PhD on Tuberculosis and my post-doc in Health Economics. I've been at the Institute for Future studies and active in the World Values Survey network since the early 90's. Worked in Sophia Antipolis, Southern France for many years as professor of Future studies and communication strategies. Most recent project: A Migrant World Values Survey in Sweden. We have data from more than hundred countries on values and social norms in the World Values Survey, but we lack representative data on people migrating from one country to another. We have now completed the very first migrant WVS in Sweden, with 6,500 respondents from the main non-european migrant countries.
