Paul Sniderman, Ph.D., an American political scientist, is the Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor of Public Policy at Stanford University.
He is noted for developing instruments capable of probing attitudes towards sensitive issued like racial or ethnic prejudice that enable researchers to discover the true attitudes of subjects in populations pre-disposed to give the socially-acceptable response rather than express their true feelings.
