Chano Arreguin, PhD Candidate

About Me

Hello! My name is Chano Arreguin, the proud son of Mexican immigrants born and raised in California's Central Valley. I am currently a PhD candidate at Rice University in the department of Political Science. I completed a BA in Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Research

My academic interests are understanding the sources and consequences of public opinion and how the masses can make competent political decisions. More specifically, I am interested in how expressive social or partisan identities interact with more instrumental policy desires in influencing political attitudes and behavior. My experimentalist approach specifies and tests key features in choice settings that may influence behavior. I am also interested in drawing links with the human evolutionary sciences whenever helpful in presenting a more comprehensive explanation of human behavior.
