Dr. Mather writes a blog at Psychology Today entitled "The Conservative Social Psychologist." During the autumn of 2015, he wrote a few blogs on politics for a psychology outlet which were well-received. Following the bold Spring 2016 publication his blog at Psychology Today, he became the most vocal publicly-identified conservative voice in the field of social psychology. In a field and profession in which conservatives are scarce, he faced his share of criticism. His national television debut came on The Ingraham Angle on Fox News during Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate Judiciary hearings.

Dr. Mather strives to be a fresh perspective within his profession and to inspire conservative students and faculty to publicly stand up for conservative values in the face of great opposition, with the idea of producing more balanced, objective outcomes in science and academia. 

In college, Dr. Mather studied psychology, political science, and religion, including a Consitutional Law class from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri. He also worked in the psychology department of a maximum security prison.
