  • Gender, race, and reactions to rude politics

    Monica C Schneider, J Cherie Strachan et al.•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2026

  • Gendered political socialization through the Dutch children’s news broadcast NOS Jeugdjournaal

    Loes Van Der Pas Aaldering, Daphne Van Der Pas et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Politics and…•2025

    Media play a crucial role in the gendered way in which children are socialized into the political world, a process that is surprisingly under-studied. This article examines messages communicated to Dutch children about gender and politics through NOS Jeugdjournaal , a popular Dutch news broadcast that is tailored to children aged nine to 12. We conducted a content analysis on episodes broadcast over a period of almost 30 years ( N = 252). The res…

  • Looks Like a Leader

    Open Access•Daphne Van Der Pas, Loes Aaldering et al.•ARTICLE•Political Behavior•2024•Cited by: 8•References: 62

    Previous research showed that the stereotype of women politicians is incongruent with the general politician stereotype, which can be disadvantageous for women seeking political office. Based on the strong influx of women politicians in US politics, and the increased familiarity of the electorate with women in political leadership positions, we expect that voters now have a clearer picture of women politicians and that their stereotype is more co…

  • Partisanship on the Playground

    Open Access•J Celeste Lay, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Political Research Quarterly•2023•Cited by: 11•References: 64

    The beliefs and behaviors of U.S. adults are increasingly sorted and polarized along partisan lines. We draw on studies of partisanship and social identity formation to argue that children develop partisanship as a social identity during the political socialization process. For a group of children, their partisan social identity produces an affective (and largely negative) evaluation of the political world. Analyzing survey data collected from 15…

  • Gender Role Violations and Voter Prejudice

    Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos et al.•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2022•Cited by: 27•References: 42

    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…

  • This One's for the Boys

    Open Access•Angela L Bos, Jill S Greenlee et al.•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2022•Cited by: 104•References: 77

    This article develops and tests a new theoretical framework, gendered political socialization, which offers important insights into how children perceive gender in politics and the consequences of these perceptions on sex differences in political interest and ambition. Based on data from 1,604 children who live in four different regions across the United States, we find that children not only perceive politics to be a male-dominated space, but wi…

  • Gendered framing in human rights campaigns

    Michele Leiby, Angela L Bos et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 24

    Human Rights Organizations (HROs) often rely on gender stereotypes in their advocacy campaigns. Yet, we know little about the effects of such essentializing stereotypes on the success of HRO campaigns. Using a survey experiment, we examine how human rights campaigns emphasizing sex and gender roles of the victims affect individuals' attitudes on the campaign issue and their willingness to take direct action. Although we find no direct effect of g…

  • Time for Kids to Learn Gender Stereotypes

    Open Access•J Celeste Lay, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2021•Cited by: 12•References: 50

    While early gendered messages mold children's expectations about the world, we know relatively little about the depictions of women in politics and exposure to gender stereotypes in elementary social studies curricula. In this article, we examine the coverage of political leaders in the children's magazine TIME for Kids, a source commonly found in elementary school classrooms. Coding all political content from this source over six years, we evalu…

  • Children’s Views of the American Presidency

    Open Access•Zoe M Oxley, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2020•Cited by: 10•References: 16

    What do children think about political leaders? In classic political socialization studies of the late 1950s, children tended to hold idealized views of political leaders. In spite of enormous changes in the political landscape, we know little about how these attitudes have changed in the last 60 years. To assess the views of children today, we surveyed over 500 elementary school children (grades 1–6) in the United States. Children no longer poss…

  • Years of Suffrage and Girls Still Struggle to Find their “Fit” in Politics

    Open Access•Angela L Bos, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 20

    When women gained the national right to vote 100 years ago, remarkable possibilities for their voice and presence in politics opened. However, despite gains in women’s representation, numerous gaps continue to exist in which adult women engage less in politics than men. In identifying and explaining adult gender gaps, little attention has been given to whether gaps emerge among children. This is a pressing issue because children’s perceptions are…

  • The Application of Social Role Theory to the Study of Gender in Politics

    Open Access•Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2019•Cited by: 106•References: 211

    Social role theory provides a framework to help understand the complexity of gender in the political sphere. We demonstrate how SRT both helps to explain extant research findings and to generate future research that will help explain the complicated ways in which gender shapes U.S. politics. This article considers two broad categories of behavior: the gendered opinions and engagement of the citizenry and the gendered evaluations of political acto…

  • Who is in the picture? The gender composition of images of Congress in party caucus Twitter feeds and online media

    Angela L Bos, Bas W van Doorn et al.•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2018•References: 14

    Visual portrayals of politics can affect public opinion. However, little work has investigated visual portrayals of Congress and their impact on perceptions of group representation. Though women are underrepresented in Congress, the political parties, driven by electoral incentives, might try to present themselves as more diverse than they really are. Is this true for gender, and do these efforts trickle down to images in media coverage? We exami…

  • Family-friendly academic conferences

    Angela L Bos, Jennie Sweet-Cushman et al.•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2017•Cited by: 2•References: 3

    Traveling to academic conferences to present research and network is essential for scholars to achieve success in the academy. Scholars with family obligations face barriers to participating in conferences, partly because most regional and national conferences are not organized to be family-friendly. While balancing travel to academic conferences with family responsibilities is a challenge faced by all academics, this burden can be especially hig…

  • The Interplay of Candidate Party and Gender in Evaluations of Political Candidates

    Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2016•Cited by: 44•References: 57

    In this article, we study the interaction between candidate gender and party on voter evaluations. Theories from psychology are the basis for our hypotheses about how candidate identities such as party and gender combine: Party might dominate certain evaluations, gender might dominate others, or gender and party might work in either an additive or interactive way to influence evaluations. Our evidence suggests that both party and gender separatel…

  • The unintended effects of political party affirmative action policies on female candidates’ nomination chances

    Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2015•Cited by: 4•References: 27

    Some state political party organizations that hold nominating conventions implement affirmative action (AA) policies to encourage the nomination of women and minority candidates. This paper assesses whether these policies help or hinder female candidates seeking statewide office. On the one hand, these policies could benefit female candidates since they demonstrate an organization's commitment to diversity. On the other hand, diversity and AA pol…

  • Measuring Stereotypes of Female Politicians

    Open Access•Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2014•Cited by: 257•References: 43

    One explanation for the dearth of women in elected office is that voters stereotype candidates based on their gender. Research in this vein often assumes that female candidates will be stereotyped similarly to women (e.g., as compassionate) and measures stereotypes as such. We question this assumption, proposing instead that female politicians constitute a subtype—a new stereotypical category with its own qualities—of the broader group of women. …

  • A Hidden Curriculum? Examining the Gender Content in Introductory-Level Political Science Textbooks

    Open Access•Erin C Cassese, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2013•Cited by: 25•References: 12

    Gender mainstreaming is a curricular reform emphasizing the inclusion of gendered perspectives into required coursework for the political science major. The burden of mainstreaming gendered content (along with other diversity subjects) ultimately lies with the instructor, who must provide a rigorous, comprehensive, and intellectually challenging course. To the extent that instructors rely on textbooks to structure (and even streamline) course dev…

    This symposium consists of three papers written after a small mentoring conference, New Research on Gender in Political Psychology, which was held in New Brunswick, New Jersey, March 4–5, 2011. As junior scholars, we received a grant from the National Science Foundation (#SES-1014854) to organize a conference for the purposes of mentoring pretenure faculty and promoting scholarship on gender in political psychology.

  • Integrating Gender into the Political Science Core Curriculum

    Open Access•Erin C Cassese, Angela L Bos et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2012•Cited by: 4•References: 22

    The New Research on Gender in Political Psychology Conference brought together new and experienced teachers with interests in gender politics. The conference session “Teaching Gender throughout the Curriculum” generated a great deal of discussion concerning the pedagogical practice of gender mainstreaming. Gender mainstreaming—the integration of gendered content into courses required for a major—was recognized as one of 11 recommendations for ref…

  • An Exploration of the Content of Stereotypes of Black Politicians

    Open Access•Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2011•Cited by: 42•References: 37

    Do voters have the same stereotypes of Black politicians that they have of Black people in general? We argue that common stereotypes of Blacks (e.g., lazy, violent) may not apply to perceptions of Black politicians. Instead, we hypothesize that Black politicians are a unique subtype of the larger group Blacks, different enough to warrant their own stereotypes. We take an inductive approach to understanding the stereotypes of Black politicians. Em…

  • Out of Control

    Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Political Communication•2011•Cited by: 25•References: 28

    Using survey data from statewide political party convention delegates in four states, I investigate whether and how gender stereotypes influence nomination choice. I examine whether gaining candidate information from different sources differentially influences gender stereotypes and the likelihood of supporting both a female and a male nominee. I argue that information sources outside a candidate's control—delegates' discussions with other delega…

  • Stepping around the Brick Wall

    Open Access•Angela L Bos, Monica C Schneider•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2009•Cited by: 2•References: 2

    Many political science departments offer, and increasing numbers of them require, undergraduate research methods courses. At the same time, studies cite high levels of student anxiety about such courses. Utilizing survey data from both students who take and faculty who teach methods, we conduct an analysis that compares the barriers students and faculty independently perceive. Next, we share results from our own exploratory assessment technique, …

  • Variations of Citizenship Education

    A quantitative content analysis of three widely adopted high school civics textbooks revealed that concepts associated with traditional liberalism—citizens' rights and freedoms—far outnumber concepts associated with classical republicanism or communitarianism (e.g., civic virtue, the reciprocal relation between citizens' rights and their responsibilities to the public good). Moreover, this focus on rights and freedoms to the relative exclusion of…

  • Collectivistic Values and Individualistic Language as Predictors of Endorsement of Citizenship Activities Among High School Students

    This is an exploratory study to determine whether the way in which attitudes about citizenship actions were measured would predict American students' endorsement of those actions. In a split-half design, half of the student respondents completed a questionnaire in which they rated the extent to which various citizenship actions were important; the other half of the sample rated those same actions on the extent to which they constituted duties.

Though women are underrepresented in Congress, the political parties, driven by electoral incentives, might try to present themselves as more diverse than they really are. Is this true for gender, and do these efforts trickle down to images in media coverage? We exami…

  • The Application of Social Role Theory to the Study of Gender in Politics

    Open Access•Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2019•Cited by: 106•References: 211

    Social role theory provides a framework to help understand the complexity of gender in the political sphere. We demonstrate how SRT both helps to explain extant research findings and to generate future research that will help explain the complicated ways in which gender shapes U.S. politics. This article considers two broad categories of behavior: the gendered opinions and engagement of the citizenry and the gendered evaluations of political acto…

  • Children’s Views of the American Presidency

    Open Access•Zoe M Oxley, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2020•Cited by: 10•References: 16

    What do children think about political leaders? In classic political socialization studies of the late 1950s, children tended to hold idealized views of political leaders. In spite of enormous changes in the political landscape, we know little about how these attitudes have changed in the last 60 years. To assess the views of children today, we surveyed over 500 elementary school children (grades 1–6) in the United States. Children no longer poss…

  • Years of Suffrage and Girls Still Struggle to Find their “Fit” in Politics

    Open Access•Angela L Bos, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 20

    When women gained the national right to vote 100 years ago, remarkable possibilities for their voice and presence in politics opened. However, despite gains in women’s representation, numerous gaps continue to exist in which adult women engage less in politics than men. In identifying and explaining adult gender gaps, little attention has been given to whether gaps emerge among children. This is a pressing issue because children’s perceptions are…

  • Gendered framing in human rights campaigns

    Michele Leiby, Angela L Bos et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 24

    Human Rights Organizations (HROs) often rely on gender stereotypes in their advocacy campaigns. Yet, we know little about the effects of such essentializing stereotypes on the success of HRO campaigns. Using a survey experiment, we examine how human rights campaigns emphasizing sex and gender roles of the victims affect individuals' attitudes on the campaign issue and their willingness to take direct action. Although we find no direct effect of g…

  • Time for Kids to Learn Gender Stereotypes

    Open Access•J Celeste Lay, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2021•Cited by: 12•References: 50

    While early gendered messages mold children's expectations about the world, we know relatively little about the depictions of women in politics and exposure to gender stereotypes in elementary social studies curricula. In this article, we examine the coverage of political leaders in the children's magazine TIME for Kids, a source commonly found in elementary school classrooms. Coding all political content from this source over six years, we evalu…

  • Gender Role Violations and Voter Prejudice

    Monica C Schneider, Angela L Bos et al.•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2022•Cited by: 27•References: 42

    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…

  • This One's for the Boys

    Open Access•Angela L Bos, Jill S Greenlee et al.•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2022•Cited by: 104•References: 77

    This article develops and tests a new theoretical framework, gendered political socialization, which offers important insights into how children perceive gender in politics and the consequences of these perceptions on sex differences in political interest and ambition. Based on data from 1,604 children who live in four different regions across the United States, we find that children not only perceive politics to be a male-dominated space, but wi…

  • Partisanship on the Playground

    Open Access•J Celeste Lay, Mirya R Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Political Research Quarterly•2023•Cited by: 11•References: 64

    The beliefs and behaviors of U.S. adults are increasingly sorted and polarized along partisan lines. We draw on studies of partisanship and social identity formation to argue that children develop partisanship as a social identity during the political socialization process. For a group of children, their partisan social identity produces an affective (and largely negative) evaluation of the political world. Analyzing survey data collected from 15…

  • Looks Like a Leader

    Open Access•Daphne Van Der Pas, Loes Aaldering et al.•ARTICLE•Political Behavior•2024•Cited by: 8•References: 62

    Previous research showed that the stereotype of women politicians is incongruent with the general politician stereotype, which can be disadvantageous for women seeking political office. Based on the strong influx of women politicians in US politics, and the increased familiarity of the electorate with women in political leadership positions, we expect that voters now have a clearer picture of women politicians and that their stereotype is more co…

  • Gendered political socialization through the Dutch children’s news broadcast NOS Jeugdjournaal

    Loes Van Der Pas Aaldering, Daphne Van Der Pas et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Politics and…•2025

    Media play a crucial role in the gendered way in which children are socialized into the political world, a process that is surprisingly under-studied. This article examines messages communicated to Dutch children about gender and politics through NOS Jeugdjournaal , a popular Dutch news broadcast that is tailored to children aged nine to 12. We conducted a content analysis on episodes broadcast over a period of almost 30 years ( N = 252). The res…
