Race, political targeting, and value application: The effects of framing on gay rights opinions among Blacks and Whites
We use the concepts of value framing, frame salience, and political targeting to examine variation in the application of values to gay rights opinions among Black and White Americans. Our argument is that value application fluctuates across race as the salience of equality and morality value frames shifts over time. We employ a print news content analysis from 1988 to 2016 to document the shifting salience of frames combined with analysis of Amer…
Partisan values and gay rights: Public opinion about employment nondiscrimination
Partisan elites justify policy positions by invoking underlying values, and political parties are associated with value reputations that connect particular values to specific policy positions. Value recruitment theory explains the relationship between value framing and policy positions. Newspaper content analysis and statistical analysis of survey data show that Democrats are more likely to frame employment nondiscrimination against gay rights as…
Issue-Relevant Values and Opinions About Gay Rights: Beyond Equality and Morality
Although many studies have examined the role of values in shaping public opinion, the number of values that inform this research is limited. This article employs the concept of issue-relevant values as a means to explore the broader range of values associated with policy issues. After discussing the concept in general terms, the article explores issue-relevant values pertinent to public opinion about gay rights. Using the policy examples of emplo…
Is Same-Sex Marriage an Equality Issue? Framing Effects Among African Americans
Public opinion about gay rights is often shaped by egalitarian values. While the extant literature has suggested that African Americans’ value structure tends to be very egalitarian, many popular media accounts as well as some scholarly research indicate that Blacks have, at times, opposed gay rights. We assert that when the media frame gay rights as equality issues, Blacks are more likely to rely on egalitarianism to form their opinions. We use …
Another Issue Comes Out: Gay Rights Policy Voting in Recent U.S. Presidential Elections
Drawing from the theory of policy voting, this study examines the impact of opinions about gay rights on voting for presidential candidates. Qualitative analysis of the major party platforms and candidate campaign rhetoric from the six presidential elections held between 1988 and 2008 indicates that Democratic and Republican presidential candidates began openly expressing opposing positions on gay rights issues in 1992. Quantitative analysis of p…

The Structure of Attitudes Toward Groups: A Comparison of Experts and Novices
The study of mass opinion has recently focused increased attention on political sophistication and attitudes toward groups. Although the two topics are not directly related, they share a common concern: how does the mass public manage to form opinions about political issues given its well-established lack of a coherent political ideology. Groups are impor tant symbols that structure political reasoning; but, it is not clear that this structure is…

The Structure of Men's and Women's Feminist Orientations: Feminist Identity and Feminist Opinion
This study considers two problems: the extent to which feminist opinions are distinct from feminist identity and the generalizability of these separate constructs across gender and time. Using pooled cross-sectional data from the six National Election Study surveys conducted from 1972 through 1992, the author employs a series of measurement and structural equation models to evaluate the validity and reliability of various feminist orientations an…
The Politics of Greed? Political Preferences among the Elderly
This paper considers the role of age in structuring the political behavior of elderly Americans. Although the elderly seem to share group-specific interests that could promote agreement about the policies and candidates group members should support, recent conflicts over Social Security and Medicare have shown that age does not consistently structure political preferences. Using National Election Study data from the 1972-1988 period, this paper e…
