Robert Welz

Welcome! I am a research associate and lecturer at the Department of Political Science at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

My research revolves around political attitudes and behavior, with a particular focus on citizens’ perceptions of and attitudes toward coalition governance and its behavioral consequences. I am further interested in attitudes toward political compromise and consensus building.

My academic journey has led me to a strong affinity for experimental methods. In addition to my research, I teach courses on quantitative methods and have a special interest in research-based learning approaches.
