Cristián Guillermo Rodríguez Rodríguez holds a Ph.D. in Psychological Science and an M.A. in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine. He also holds undergraduate degrees in Philosophy and Psychology from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

He is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Universidad de los Andes, where he combines teaching, research, and public engagement. His interdisciplinary background enables him to address complex social phenomena from an integrative perspective, bridging social psychology, philosophy, and political-cultural analysis.

His research focuses on the social psychology of morality, motivated reasoning, and the processes underlying political and social polarization. He examines how ideological, religious, and political beliefs influence the way individuals process information, make decisions, and participate in public debate.

He also studies selective exposure to information, partisan disagreement, and the dynamics of moral cognition in crisis contexts, paying special attention to their impact on social cohesion and democratic deliberation.

At Universidad de los Andes, he teaches Social Psychology, Qualitative Research Methodology, Quantitative Methods II, and My Brain in Society (Neuroscience minor). His teaching approach integrates methodological tools with critical analysis of current social phenomena, encouraging students to investigate and understand social issues from multiple perspectives.
