  • Governing During a Culture War

    Open Access•Jonathan S Coley, Gary J Adler et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2026

    As battles over transgender rights play out at the local level, this study offers the first large‐scale analysis of religion and U.S. local government officials’ views on key transgender rights policies. Drawing on our 2023 national probability sample of U.S. municipal, county, and school district officials, we examine officials’ attitudes toward policies related to restroom access and gender markers on driver's licenses. We find that religious a…

  • Generations in contemporary US politics

    Kevin Munger, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2023•Citada por: 2•Referências: 21

    The cultural salience of generational categories is on the rise: the large and powerful Baby-Boom generation continues to dominate electoral politics while younger Millennials’ and Gen Zers’ fluency in digital communication technology lets them voice their frustrations. We demonstrate that these three generational groups show many signs of being—or becoming—collective political actors. Majorities identify with their generation, they find these id…

  • Reassessing the Effects of Emotions on Turnout

    Joseph Phillips, Joseph B Phillips et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Politics•2023•Citada por: 7•Referências: 41

    Discrete emotions such as anger, pride, worry, and hopefulness have been shown to predict candidate preferences, issue attitudes, reports of participation other than voting, and stated intention to participate in various civic and electoral activities. Yet we know very little about how emotions might affect the most fundamental individual act in a democracy: turning out to vote. Using original survey data linked to past and future validated turno…

  • Religion-State Interaction at the Local Level

    Open Access•Gary J Adler, D Mayrl et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2022•Citada por: 1•Referências: 18

    Relationships between religion and state are a core focus for social scientists, but little is known about a central set of actors in 'church-state' relations in the United States: local elected officials (mayors, town councilpersons, city commissioners). We report on a unique, representative survey of local elected officials, examining their religiosity, their interactions with religion through governance (prayers, meetings, symbol placement req…

  • Religion at the Frontline

    Open Access•Gary J Adler, Selena E Ortiz et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Religion•2021•Citada por: 8•Referências: 17

    Frontline officials (such as mayors and commissioners) are responsible for local-level responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across the United States. Their actions and attitudes, either in support of or opposition to public health recommendations, have resulted in widespread variation in local-level pandemic response. Despite evidence that religion significantly impacts the general public’s response to the pandemic, the influence of religion on off…

  • Federalism and the Racialization of Welfare Policy

    Open Access•Catalina Ojeda, Christopher Ojeda et al.•ARTICLE•State Politics & Policy Quarterly•2019•Citada por: 6•Referências: 34

    Considerable research shows that welfare policies are stricter in states with large African American caseloads. We challenge the universality of this claim by extending Soss, Fording, and Schram's Racial Classification Model to account for the multidimensionality of policy, the constraints imposed by federal funding, and state legislators' ideological goals and racial stereotypes. Examining the work requirements, sanctions, time limits, and exemp…

    Open Access•Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2019•Citada por: 4•Referências: 58

    Survey science is driven to maximize data quality and reduce Total Survey Error (TSE). At the same time, survey methodologists have ethical and professional obligations to protect the privacy of respondents and ensure their capacity to provide informed consent for their participation, for data linkage, passive data collection, and the archiving of replication data. We have learned, however, that both sensitive topics and the consent process can c…

  • Measuring Complex State Policies

    Open Access•Eric Plutzer, Michael B Berkman et al.•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2019•Citada por: 7•Referências: 47

    Welfare policy is multidimensional because of the political compromises, competing goals, and federalist structure underpinning it. This complexity has hindered measurement and, therefore, the comparability of research on race and welfare policy. This paper describes a measurement strategy that is transparent, replicable, and attuned to matching the assumptions of statistical models to the policy process. We demonstrate that this strategy leads t…

  • Enablers of Doubt

    Open Access•Michael B Berkman, Michael Berkman et al.•ARTICLE•The Annals of the American…•2015•Citada por: 3•Referências: 12

    Evolution deniers do not need to establish their own scientific position but merely cast doubt on some aspect of evolution or obtain a small amount of legitimacy for creationism or intelligent design to sow sufficient doubt in the mainstream. This doubt is one of three pillars, along with demands for equal time and the incompatibility of science and religion, that Eugenie Scott has argued define contemporary anti-evolution efforts. High school bi…

  • The Racial Gap in Confidence in Science

    Open Access•Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Science Technology &…•2013

    African Americans, compared to Whites, are starkly underrepresented in scientific and technological professions, are especially reluctant to participate as research subjects, and they express attitudes that are skeptical of science and scientific institutions. This article seeks to explain the racial gap in confidence in science (race being socially defined), putting to empirical test explanations suggested by research on human capital, inequalit…

  • Local Autonomy versus State Constraints

    Michael B Berkman, Michael Berkman et al.•ARTICLE•Publius The Journal of Federalism•2011•Citada por: 1•Referências: 13

    Do state curricular standards and examinations constrain the behavior of public school teachers? More specifically, do they interfere with teachers' responsiveness to local district preferences? We explore these questions in the highly contested arena of instruction in evolutionary biology. Drawing upon an original national survey of high school biology teachers, we find that their classroom practices conform to community preferences. This respon…

  • Scientific Expertise and the Culture War

    Open Access•Michael B Berkman, Michael Berkman et al.•ARTICLE•Perspectives on Politics•2009•Citada por: 10•Referências: 32

    The teaching of evolution in public schools has been a central element in the nation's “culture wars” since the 1920s and remains a contentious issue today. Content standards for the teaching of biology have been flashpoints for conflict, with well publicized battles occurring in state governments, in federal courts, and in local school districts. We show that a full understanding of evolution politics at the state level must simultaneously accou…

  • Political Participation and Cumulative Disadvantage

    Open Access•Julianna Pacheco, Julianna Sandell Pacheco et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2008•Citada por: 19•Referências: 27

    In this article, we seek to provide the most comprehensive exploration to date of the effects of economic and social disadvantage on young citizens' voter turnout. We look at four overlapping domains of hardship—those rooted in (a) the family context, (b) the community context, (c) the school context, and (d) major events and life transitions. Our conceptual model of cumulative advantage/disadvantage identifies the different ways in which disadva…

  • Stay in School, Don’t Become a Parent

    Open Access•Julianna Sandell Pacheco, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•American Politics Research•2007•Citada por: 16•Referências: 29

    We investigate three important life transitions—becoming a parent, getting married, and dropping out or graduating from high school—on the development of civic engagement. We qualify the socioeconomic status and resources frameworks by arguing that effects should differ across racial and ethnic lines. We address these issues by analyzing data from a nationally representative, 12-year panel study comprising more than 12,000 eighth graders in 1988 …

  • Family Transitions, Economic Status, and Voter Turnout Among African‐American Inner‐City Women

    Open Access•Eric Plutzer, Nancy Wiefek•ARTICLE•Social Science Quarterly•2006•Citada por: 9•Referências: 14

    Objectives. We examine voter turnout of inner‐city African‐American mothers, many of whom are single parents and endure long‐term, economic hardship. Previous research suggests that income is a more important factor among these groups than in the general population. We seek to understand the interplay of family structure, income, and voter turnout. Methods. We explore these ideas using panel data on 754 mothers living in Chicago and interviewed a…

    It Takes a Candidate: Why Women Don't Run for Office. By Jennifer L. Lawless and Richard L. Fox. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press. 2005. 203 pp. 22.99 paper.Why do so few women occupy elected offices in the United States? One reason, perhaps the most important one, is that fewer women than men are politically ambitious. That is the major conclusion to emerge from the innovative research conducted by Jennifer Lawless and Richard …

  • The Graying of America and Support for Funding the Nation's Schools

    Eric Plutzer, M Berkman•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2005•Citada por: 15•Referências: 11

    Surveys spanning more than 35 years show that older Americans are less likely than younger citizens to endorse increased spending on public schools. The conventional explanation for this gen- erational cleavage presumes that citizens' interests change as they approach or transition into retirement-the absence of school-age children and fixed incomes combine to lower their interest in supporting spending increases for public education. We show tha…

  • Identity Politics, Partisanship, and Voting for Women Candidates

    Eric Plutzer, John F Zipp•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•1996•Citada por: 145•Referências: 3

    In 1992 a record 14 women sought statewide office by running “as women” and as representatives of women. In this article we examine whether their appeals led to widespread vot ing on the basis of gender identity. We find evidence that the sex of the voter is significantly related to voting for female candidates in eight of 13 states, and among partisans of both parties as well as Independents. Further, we find that these effects are amplified by …

Several questions are addressed: In what manner are the alternative contexts of politics…

  • Work Life, Family Life, and Women's Support of Feminism

    Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•American Sociological Review•1988•Citada por: 70•Referências: 3

    Recent research has attempted to explain wide ecological divisions among women in terms of their different life styles and their subjective commitment to them. Special attention has been given to the potential effects of womens work and family life on their attitudes. This paper uses a large representative sample of American women to systematically evaluate these explanations for the 1st time. The evidence suggests that various aspects of womens …

  • Contextual Determinants of Feminist Attitudes

    We augment the survey-based studies of attitudes toward feminism with comparative, contextual perspectives emphasizing the importance of social structure and culture. In doing so, we are able to assess the relative merits of two very different structural theories. Most researchers implicitly assume a simple linear effect of social context on attitudes. On the other hand, some early works on American conservatism suggest to us that status disconte…

  • Gender Differences in Voting for Female Candidates

    John F Zipp, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•1985•Citada por: 44•Referências: 7

    This paper analyzes voting in five 1982 elections in which women ran as major party candidates for high-level offices: Governor in Vermont and Iowa; and U.S. Senator in Missouri, New York, and New Jersey. Results indicate that the sex of the candidate generally has little impact on voting and that solid women candidates can attract cross-over votes, while weaker ones can lose them. The implications of these results are discussed in the concluding…

    Although several studies explore the political environments and institutional features of Western European women's movements, few have examined the mass attitudinal bases for feminist politics in Europe. This article extends the study of feminist politics by testing models of feminist attitudes developed in the United States with data collected in the European Community in 1983. We explore the connections between the support of feminist goals and…

Further, we find that these effects are amplified by …

  • Scientific Information, Elite Attitudes, and the Public Debate Over Food Safety

    Open Access•Ardith Maney, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•1996•Citada por: 3•Referências: 8

    Why do consumers often react with alarm to food technologies (such as irradiation, genetic engineering, artificial hormones, and chemical pesticides) that scientists regard as essentially safe? We examine the attitudes toward food safety of three types of elites who serve as providers of scientific information regarding food safety to the United States public. Previous research suggests that journalists are likely to exaggerate risks associated w…

  • Wives and Husbands

    Open Access•John F Zipp, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•Sociology•1996•Citada por: 6•Referências: 20

    Two decades after Joan Acker (1973) castigated mainstream stratification research for its 'intellectual sexism', the debate over the impact that married women's paid employment has on class analysis is perhaps the most controversial issue in social stratification. Using two decades of survey data from the U.S., we assess the conditions under which wife's class affects the class identification of both spouses. Our principal findings include: (a) a…

  • Ideology and Elites' Perceptions of the Safety of New Technologies

    Theory: The policy learning and advocacy coalition framework emphasizes the importance of journalists and scientists, as well as policymakers, in models of the policy process. At the same time, research from several traditions suggests that elite opinion concerning the safety of nuclear energy, genetic engineering, and other new technologies derives primarily from political ideology. We examine the attitudes of three elite groups that influence p…

  • Becoming a Habitual Voter

    Open Access•Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2002•Citada por: 449•Referências: 17

    This paper reframes our inquiry into voter turnout by making aging the lens through which the traditional resource and cost measures of previous turnout research are viewed, thereby making three related contributions. (1) I offer a developmental theory of turnout. This framework follows from the observation that most citizens are habitual voters or habitual nonvoters (they display inertia). Most young citizens start their political lives as habit…

  • The Graying of America and Support for Funding the Nation's Schools

    Eric Plutzer, M Berkman•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2005•Citada por: 15•Referências: 11

    Surveys spanning more than 35 years show that older Americans are less likely than younger citizens to endorse increased spending on public schools. The conventional explanation for this gen- erational cleavage presumes that citizens' interests change as they approach or transition into retirement-the absence of school-age children and fixed incomes combine to lower their interest in supporting spending increases for public education. We show tha…

  • Family Transitions, Economic Status, and Voter Turnout Among African‐American Inner‐City Women

    Objectives. We examine voter turnout of inner‐city African‐American mothers, many of whom are single parents and endure long‐term, economic hardship. Previous research suggests that income is a more important factor among these groups than in the general population. We seek to understand the interplay of family structure, income, and voter turnout. Methods. We explore these ideas using panel data on 754 mothers living in Chicago and interviewed a…

Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press. 2005. 203 pp. 22.99 paper.Why do so few women occupy elected offices in the United States? One reason, perhaps the most important one, is that fewer women than men are politically ambitious. That is the major conclusion to emerge from the innovative research conducted by Jennifer Lawless and Richard …

  • Stay in School, Don’t Become a Parent

    Open Access•Julianna Sandell Pacheco, Eric Plutzer•ARTICLE•American Politics Research•2007•Citada por: 16•Referências: 29

    We investigate three important life transitions—becoming a parent, getting married, and dropping out or graduating from high school—on the development of civic engagement. We qualify the socioeconomic status and resources frameworks by arguing that effects should differ across racial and ethnic lines. We address these issues by analyzing data from a nationally representative, 12-year panel study comprising more than 12,000 eighth graders in 1988 …

  • Political Participation and Cumulative Disadvantage

    In this article, we seek to provide the most comprehensive exploration to date of the effects of economic and social disadvantage on young citizens' voter turnout. We look at four overlapping domains of hardship—those rooted in (a) the family context, (b) the community context, (c) the school context, and (d) major events and life transitions. Our conceptual model of cumulative advantage/disadvantage identifies the different ways in which disadva…
