Female candidates have long benefitted from their connections with PACs. However, many of the studies on women and PACs were published prior to the rise of ideologically-oriented Super PACs, 501c dark money groups, and 527s. To examine the impact of these newer groups on female candidates, this paper asks whether outside groups are less likely to take female opponents seriously during their television ad campaigns. We expect outside groups will run more ads for their preferred candidate when the opposing candidate is a male quality challenger because they believe those candidates present the biggest threat to achieving their partisan or ideological electoral goals. We test this expectation using data from Wesleyan Media Project, an original dataset containing biographical information on U.S. House candidates, the US Census, and the Cook Political Report. As expected, the number of ads that outside groups air is influenced by both the gender and the quality of the opposition to their preferred candidate. results the inflate statistically results
长期以来,女性候选人一直受益于她们与政治行动委员会的联系。然而,许多关于女性和政治行动委员会的研究都是在意识形态导向的超级政治行动委员会、501c黑钱团体和527组织兴起之前发表的。为了检验这些新团体对女性候选人的影响,本文询问外部团体是否不太可能在她们的电视广告活动中认真对待女性对手。我们预计,当对手候选人是男性挑战者时,外部团体会为他们喜欢的候选人投放更多的广告,因为他们认为这些候选人对实现他们的党派或意识形态选举目标构成最大的威胁。我们使用来自卫斯理媒体项目(Wesleyan Media Project)的数据来测试这一预期,该数据集包含美国众议院候选人的传记信息、美国人口普查和库克政治报告。正如预期的那样,外部团体播放的广告数量受到他们喜欢的候选人的性别和对手素质的影响。结果膨胀统计结果

Identities – how individuals think about themselves in the social world – are powerful drivers of political attitudes and behaviors. On highly polarizing issues such as climate change, political identities are powerful predictors of attitudes, behaviors, and policy preferences. However, other, non-partisan identities are also relevant to climate change attitudes, particularly when the identity is threatened by climate change. What happens when an individual has two salient identities informing opposing attitudes on a political issue? This study leverages a unique sample of politically conservative members of an environmental conservation organization – “conservative conservationists” - to understand how people reconcile conflicting identities to form their environmental attitudes and behaviors. Using qualitative data from interviews (n=25) and participant observation, I document four strategies that participants use to reconcile identity conflicts and form environmental attitudes: distancing oneself from one of the conflicting identities; increasing deliberate political information seeking; redefining conceptions of an issue to fit with both identities; and creating a new identity that merges the non-conflicting aspects of the two identities. This research has implications for both the theoretical study of how identities influence political behavior and practical efforts to build bipartisan agreement on climate change.

Does exposure to historical information cause systemic policy thinking? Despite the importance of this question across multiple research traditions, there is a dearth of empirical research assessing it. We evaluate this question by studying the case of how arguments about the historical and structural roots of racial inequality affect beliefs about racial inequality. Analyzing data from a novel survey experiment fielded on two national, census-balanced samples of American adults, we find compelling evidence that such arguments can increase beliefs in the existence of Black-white racial inequality and increase beliefs in structural causes of racial inequality, particularly among white Republicans and Independents. In addition, we find evidence that historical information can reduce racial resentment among these groups. Overall, our study provides evidence that exposure to historical information can induce greater systemic and historical thinking about contemporary racial inequalities in the United States.

ABSTRACT Many partisans identify with social groups more typically associated with the opposing party. When both social and partisan identities are made salient in a political environment, this can complicate how people discuss politics and form opinions, as they confront multiple, often competing frames for interpreting political issues and events. This study examines how individuals negotiate cross-cutting frames from partisan and LGBT groups when communicating about political events that make both identities salient. Using a quantitative text analysis of tweets following major political events, the study compares communications from accounts associated with LGBT Republican groups to those from accounts related to other LGBT, Democratic, and Republican groups. The results show that after events that make LGBT and partisan identity salient, users associated with LGBT Republican groups depart from other Republican-associated users in their communications and are uniquely likely to adopt frames in their communication that are associated with both LGBT and Republican interests. The findings have implications for theories of framing effects, cross pressure, and the boundaries of partisanship's influence on behavior.
