Abstract

ABSTRACT The gender political knowledge gap has proven to be persistent and pervasive. It extends across time, geography, and cultures. When it comes to national politics, women demonstrate lower political knowledge than men, and this has a detrimental effect on a deliberative democracy. The current study employed an elaborative and political socialization theoretical perspective in addressing the gender political knowledge gap. Through an experimental design and structural equation modeling, antecedents and outcomes of political learning for women were investigated. Three conditions were created through exposure to articles before watching a televised presidential debate. Women were either given a motivation prime, which explained how a political issue related specifically to women; an ability prime that provided background information on an issue; or a nonpolitical prime. Both the motivation and ability (through increased elaboration) enhanced learning. The enhanced learning predicted increased intentions to discuss the issue and seek additional issue-relevant information.

促进妇女学习：精心设计的初级阶段的民主成果

摘要性别政治知识差距已被证明是持续存在且普遍存在的。它跨越了时间、地理和文化。在国家政治方面，女性的政治知识比男性低，这对协商民主产生了不利影响。本研究采用了详尽的政治社会化理论视角来解决性别政治知识差距问题。通过实验设计和结构方程建模，研究了女性政治学习的前因和结果。通过在观看电视转播的总统辩论之前接触文章，创造了三个条件。妇女要么被赋予了动机，这解释了政治问题是如何与妇女具体相关的；提供问题背景信息的能力素质；或非政治素数。动机和能力（通过加强阐述）都增强了学习。增强的学习预测了讨论该问题和寻求其他问题相关信息的意愿增加。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
