Paul Sniderman, Ph.D., an American political scientist, is the Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkeley. [1]

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.
