Katherine McCabe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Rutgers University's School of Arts and Sciences, where she also serves as Undergraduate Academic Advisor. She joined the faculty in 2017 after completing her doctorate at Princeton University and teaches courses in American politics, political behavior, and quantitative methods.
Her educational background includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Government from Harvard University
- Master's degree and Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University
Dr. McCabe's research examines how social identities, personal experiences, and information environments shape political engagement and decision-making in American politics. She investigates health care attitude formation, conflict resolution between political identities, and the psychological mechanisms underlying public opinion. Her work bridges political psychology, communication studies, and behavioral analysis with methodological rigor.
Her publications (2016-2021) reveal consistent focus on partisan dynamics in American political behavior, particularly how scandals, federalism debates, and direct policy experiences (like ACA enrollment) interact with identity to shape voting decisions and public opinion. Methodologically, she employs experimental designs, survey analysis, and computational social science approaches to dissect attitude formation processes.
As an educator and mentor, Dr. McCabe advises undergraduate students and co-organizes Rutgers' Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science, providing advanced training for doctoral students and early-career researchers in data science applications for political research.
