ABSTRACT Women candidates from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups must cast a wide net when attracting voter support to win elections. One aspect of their candidate profile is the ability to campaign explicitly as a “woman of color.” Despite increased media usage of the term women of color, few academic studies focus on whether and how this term resonates with voters. We analyze original survey data collected in 2020 to probe voter reaction to the women of color identity among self-identified Black women, Latinas, and white women. We evaluate whether women are aware of the term and analyze the importance they place on the election of women of color candidates. Finally, to understand the effectiveness in actual electoral contests, we conduct an experiment to determine if women’s evaluations of Kamala Harris are affected by a woman of color candidate frame.
来自未被充分代表的种族和民族的女性候选人在吸引选民支持以赢得选举时必须广泛撒网。她们候选人形象的一个方面是能够明确地以“有色人种女性”的身份参加竞选。尽管媒体越来越多地使用“有色人种女性”一词,但很少有学术研究关注这个词是否以及如何引起选民的共鸣。我们分析了2020年收集的原始调查数据,以探讨自认为是黑人女性、拉丁裔女性和白人女性的选民对有色人种女性身份的反应。我们评估了女性是否知道这个词,并分析了她们对有色人种女性候选人选举的重要性。最后,为了了解实际选举中的有效性,我们进行了一个实验,以确定女性对卡玛拉·哈里斯的评价是否受到有色人种女性候选人框架的影响。

ABSTRACT The 2020 Democratic presidential primary featured more female candidates than any prior race of its kind, presenting a unique opportunity to analyze media coverage of women running for this distinctively masculine office. In this article, we explore themes in trait coverage for female candidates in 2020. Using a natural language processing (NLP) approach, we analyze a sample of print and online media coverage of the Democratic primary field just prior to the Iowa Caucus. We find that trait coverage largely emphasized warmth and competence, with a tendency to criticize female candidates for displaying insufficient warmth. Comparing white women to women of color, we find coverage of Harris, but not Gabbard, emphasizes racial and gender identifiers. The themes emerging from our trait analysis suggest women candidates continue to face obstacles in the form of gendered and sometimes racialized media coverage on their paths to the presidency.
摘要2020年民主党总统初选的女性候选人比以往任何一届都多,这为分析媒体对女性竞选这一独特男性职位的报道提供了一个独特的机会。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了2020年女性候选人特质覆盖的主题。使用自然语言处理(NLP)方法,我们分析了爱荷华州党团会议前民主党初选领域的印刷和在线媒体报道样本。我们发现,特质覆盖率在很大程度上强调热情和能力,并倾向于批评女性候选人表现出的热情不足。将白人女性与有色人种女性进行比较,我们发现哈里斯(Harris)而不是加巴德(Gabbard)的报道强调种族和性别识别。我们的特质分析中出现的主题表明,女性候选人在竞选总统的道路上继续面临着性别化、有时甚至种族化的媒体报道形式的障碍。

ABSTRACT Research on race and gender in the media finds that stereotypes often influence the type of coverage that women and minority candidates receive during campaigns. However, much less is known about the specific stereotypes that women candidates of color face in the media. To understand the challenges and opportunities that women candidates of color encounter, political scientists must take a closer look at the way they are portrayed in the news. As a first step, I conduct a content analysis of Georgia’s 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary, comparing the stereotypes used in campaign coverage of the two candidates – Stacey Abrams and Stacey Evans. I find that newspaper coverage of Stacey Abrams contained many more references to agentic stereotypes, like assertiveness, than coverage of Stacey Evans. Moreover, I find that agentic traits are more likely to be negative when applied to Stacey Abrams than to Stacey Evans.
对媒体中种族和性别的研究发现,刻板印象往往会影响女性和少数族裔候选人在竞选期间获得的报道类型。然而,媒体对有色人种女性候选人的具体刻板印象知之甚少。为了理解有色人种女性候选人面临的挑战和机遇,政治学家必须仔细研究她们在新闻中被描绘的方式。作为第一步,我对2018年佐治亚州民主党州长初选进行了内容分析,比较了两位候选人斯泰西·艾布拉姆斯和斯泰西·埃文斯在竞选报道中使用的刻板印象。我发现报纸对斯泰西·艾布拉姆斯的报道比对斯泰西·埃文斯的报道更多地提到了主观成见,比如自信。此外,我发现,与斯泰西·埃文斯相比,斯泰西·艾布拉姆斯更有可能是消极的。

Authors’ Response to Book Review of Race, Gender, and Political Representation: Toward a More Intersectional Approach 作者对种族、性别和政治代表性书评的回应:走向一种更具交叉性的方法
IF 1.1 3区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-11-22 DOI: 10.1080/1554477X.2022.1996841

In Race, Gender, and Political Representation, Beth Reingold, Kerry L. Haynie, and Kirsten Widner push scholars of gender and race/ethnicity politics to consider the ways in which standard approaches obscure and erase the experiences of women of color in office. Noting that most work in these two subfields adheres to a “single-axis” approach (i.e., studying “women” and “people of color” as monolithic groups), the authors advocate for a more intersectional approach to the study of representation, which acknowledges that race and gender are inextricably linked. The authors make the compelling case that we cannot really understand the consequences of women’s inclusion in political office without considering race, nor can we understand the consequences of the inclusion of people of color in office without considering gender. By explicitly considering the legislative behaviors of Blackwomen and Latinas (along with those of white men/women, Black men, and Latinos), Reingold, Haynie, and Widner center these legislators’ experiences to examine the constraints they face, their policy impact, and the factors underpinning their emergence in office. In doing so, the authors offer us a richer understanding of who speaks for which groups, how, and under what conditions. Throughout the book, the authors reveal shortcomings of failing to account for the influence of race-gender and forcefully argue that understanding the intersections of these identities offers us a deeper, and ultimately more accurate, understanding of political representation. The book’s first chapter lays out Reingold, Haynie, and Widner’s argument that an intersectional approach is necessary for our understanding of political representation. This chapter evaluates the current state of the gender and politics and race/ethnicity politics literature and elucidates why an intersectional approach is necessary for both fields. This chapter will challenge readers
在《种族、性别和政治代表》一书中,贝丝·雷戈尔德、克里·l·海尼和克尔斯滕·威德纳推动性别和种族/民族政治学者思考标准方法模糊和抹杀有色人种女性在职经历的方式。注意到这两个子领域的大多数工作都遵循“单轴”方法(即将“女性”和“有色人种”作为整体群体进行研究),作者主张采用更交叉的方法来研究代表性,这承认种族和性别是密不可分的。两位作者提出了令人信服的理由:如果不考虑种族因素,我们就无法真正理解女性进入政界的后果;如果不考虑性别因素,我们也无法真正理解有色人种进入政界的后果。通过明确考虑黑人女性和拉丁裔的立法行为(以及白人男性/女性、黑人男性和拉丁裔),Reingold、Haynie和Widner以这些立法者的经验为中心,研究他们面临的限制、他们的政策影响以及支撑他们出现在办公室的因素。通过这样做,作者为我们提供了一个更丰富的理解,谁为哪些群体说话,如何说话,以及在什么条件下说话。在整本书中,作者揭示了未能解释种族-性别影响的缺点,并有力地论证了理解这些身份的交叉点可以让我们更深入,最终更准确地理解政治代表。本书的第一章阐述了Reingold、Haynie和Widner的观点,即交叉研究方法对于我们理解政治代表是必要的。本章评估了性别和政治以及种族/民族政治文献的现状,并阐明了为什么这两个领域都需要交叉的方法。这一章将给读者带来挑战

Gender Role Violations and Voter Prejudice: The Agentic Penalty Faced by Women Politicians 性别角色违规与选民偏见:女性政治家面临的代理惩罚

ABSTRACT Role Congruity Theory (RCT) broadly suggests that when women step into leadership roles, they violate the expectations of their role as women. This article uses RCT to develop and directly test theories related to which types of gender stereotype role violations might cause voter bias toward women politicians. We argue and find that voter prejudice most likely results from an agentic incongruity–punishing a woman candidate who violates her gender role by displaying agentic, dominant traits such as being intimidating or arrogant. Backlash for this type of role violation is strong when the election context favors male stereotypical strengths.
摘要角色一致性理论(RCT)广泛认为,当女性担任领导角色时,她们违背了对女性角色的期望。本文使用随机对照试验来开发和直接测试与哪些类型的性别刻板印象角色侵犯可能导致选民对女性政治家的偏见有关的理论。我们认为并发现,选民偏见很可能是由代理人的不协调造成的——惩罚通过表现出代理人的主导特征(如恐吓或傲慢)来侵犯其性别角色的女性候选人。当选举背景有利于男性刻板印象中的优势时,这种违反角色的行为会引起强烈的反对。

ABSTRACT We explore how institutional design, whether a position is elected or appointed, influences women’s representation in state executive leadership positions, including cabinet secretaries and heads of bureaucratic agencies. We expect this relationship is conditional on if the position addresses a stereotypically feminine or masculine policy area. As women are less politically ambitious and perceive electoral disadvantages in running for masculine positions, we expect the pool of women willing to accept an appointed masculine position is greater than those willing to run for elected office. However, for feminine positions, women may perceive their gender as an advantage and are more willing to run. Using original data of state executive leaders, we find women are more likely to serve in elected than appointed feminine positions, but the opposite is true for masculine positions. This article provides insight into how institutional decisions can impact the presence of underrepresented groups in government.
摘要我们探讨了制度设计,无论职位是选举还是任命,如何影响妇女在国家行政领导职位上的代表性,包括内阁秘书和官僚机构负责人。我们预计,这种关系是以该职位是否涉及刻板的女性或男性政策领域为条件的。由于女性在政治上没有那么雄心勃勃,在竞选男性职位时也认为自己在选举中处于不利地位,我们预计愿意接受任命男性职位的女性人数将多于愿意竞选民选职位的女性。然而,对于女性职位,女性可能会认为自己的性别是一种优势,更愿意参选。使用州行政领导人的原始数据,我们发现女性更有可能担任民选职位,而不是任命的女性职位,但男性职位则相反。本文深入了解了机构决策如何影响政府中代表性不足群体的存在。

ABSTRACT Personalized proportional representation systems elect fewer women than other systems. This paper uses individual-level survey data and leverages state-level variation in campaign expenditures and number of candidates to assess three main explanations for the phenomenon. The first proposes that voters become less likely to elect women because men are more visible, since they have more access to campaign resources. The second proposes that voters rely on prejudice against women in complex electoral environments. The third explanation argues that the presence of co-partisan competition allows voters to substitute men for women. The evidence at the individual-level in Brazil supports the three perspectives, while the analyses at the district-level provide support for the co-partisan substitution hypothesis. The findings present new evidence that features of electoral systems interact with voters’ perceptions in ways that affect the electoral chances of women candidates.
个性化比例代表制比其他制度选出的女性要少。本文使用个人层面的调查数据,并利用各州在竞选支出和候选人数量上的差异来评估这一现象的三种主要解释。第一种观点认为,选民不太可能投票给女性,因为男性更显眼,因为他们有更多的竞选资源。第二种观点认为,在复杂的选举环境中,选民依赖于对女性的偏见。第三种解释认为,两党竞争的存在使得选民可以用男性代替女性。巴西个人层面的证据支持这三种观点,而地区层面的分析则支持共同党派替代假说。这些发现提供了新的证据,表明选举制度的特点与选民的看法相互作用,从而影响女性候选人的选举机会。

Sex-B(i)ased List Promotion: The Effect of Previous Electoral Performance 基于性别B(i)的名单晋升:以往选举表现的影响

ABSTRACT Party leaders, acting as gatekeepers, have a direct impact on politicians’ careers. The fact that this leadership is often male has been identified as a source of discrimination against female candidates. We analyze such sex-biased party politics in formation of party lists. Recently, candidates’ list ranking in (semi-) open list systems has been shown to depend on their electoral performance) in the previous election. Using electoral data from the 2006 and 2012 local elections in Flanders we study whether and to what extent such a reward system is sex neutral. We find the party leadership in the semi-open list system to reward (punish) male and female candidates with equal electoral performance differently. Female candidates’ list ranking in 2012 is more sensitive to their electoral performance than that of male candidates. Importantly, the sex of the local party leader and party ideology, are found to affect the sex differences in electoral remuneration.
政党领导人作为看门人,对政治家的职业生涯有着直接的影响。这种领导往往是男性的事实被认为是歧视女性候选人的一个根源。我们分析这种性别偏见的政党政治,形成政党名单。最近,候选人在(半)公开名单系统中的排名已被证明取决于他们在上届选举中的选举表现。利用2006年和2012年佛兰德斯地方选举的选举数据,我们研究了这种奖励制度是否以及在多大程度上是性别中立的。我们发现,在半公开名单制度下,党的领导层对选举表现平等的男女候选人进行了不同的奖励(惩罚)。2012年女性候选人的排名对她们的选举表现比男性候选人更敏感。重要的是,地方政党领导人的性别和政党的意识形态,被发现影响选举报酬的性别差异。

Importantly, the sex of the local party leader and party ideology, are found to affect the sex differences in electoral remuneration.","PeriodicalId":46116,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women Politics & Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46244951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Extant research on gender, context, and representation in the United States reveals women remain underrepresented as candidates, winners, and throughout political institutions. To better understand the sources of these gender gaps, greater consideration must be given to strategic entry decisions in primary elections. We study this question using aggregate data from state legislative primaries from 2001–2015. We find compelling evidence that women’s probability of entry and victory in primary contests is affected by district political context – especially women-friendliness and religiosity. These results support the strategic entry hypothesis and provide further evidence that the most significant barriers to the representation of women in American political institutions precede electoral politics.
摘要:对美国性别、背景和代表性的现有研究表明,女性在候选人、获奖者和整个政治机构中的代表性仍然不足。为了更好地了解这些性别差距的来源,必须更多地考虑初选中的战略性进入决定。我们使用2001-2005年各州立法初选的汇总数据来研究这个问题。我们发现了令人信服的证据,表明女性进入初选并获胜的概率受到地区政治背景的影响,尤其是女性的友好程度和宗教信仰。这些结果支持了战略进入假说,并提供了进一步的证据,证明女性在美国政治机构中代表性的最重大障碍先于选举政治。

Beyond Consensus: Gender, Chief Justices, and Leadership on State Supreme Courts 超越共识:性别、首席大法官和州最高法院的领导

ABSTRACT Previous research on differences in male and female leadership attribute consensus formation to female leadership styles. However, I argue that consensus in the context of chief justice leadership is more akin to male forms of leadership. Proceeding from Meier and O’Toole’s theory of public management, I argue in this article that female chief justices should value consensus less than other duties and responsibilities. I test hypotheses using a survey of current and former state high court justices. The results show that female justices greatly devalue consensus and are more likely to place importance on interactions with state legislatures.
以往关于男女领导差异的研究将共识形成归因于女性领导风格。然而,我认为,在首席大法官领导的背景下,共识更类似于男性形式的领导。本文从Meier和O’toole的公共管理理论出发,认为女性首席大法官应该把共识看得比其他职责更重要。我通过对现任和前任州高等法院法官的调查来检验假设。结果显示,女性大法官极大地贬低了共识,更有可能重视与州立法机构的互动。
