This dissertation contains three chapters each of which addresses topics related to status perceptions and survey experiments. The first chapter provides a new theory that clarifies the mechanism through which low perceptions of subjective status can lead to increased support for populist and populist-right candidates. The second chapter is the experimental extension of the first chapter, and it implements a survey experiment with a treatment that induces respondents to hold lower perceptions of their socioeconomic status. The last chapter is a methodological investigation of adaptive algorithms' relative performance in efficiently identifying the best arm compared to uniform randomization, the most widely adopted experimental design in social science, in a setting with multiple treatments and a limited budget
