Hostile Sexism, Benevolent Sexism, and American Elections
Analyzing unique, nationally representative data, I show that two faces of sexism—hostile and benevolent—operate in systematically different ways to shape Americans’ electoral decisions and evaluations of their leaders. In the 2016 presidential election, both fostered support for Donald Trump and opposition to Hillary Clinton. They operated differently at the congressional level, however. In analyses of actual congressional candidates and in a co…
The shape of and solutions to the MTurk quality crisis
Amazon's Mechanical Turk is widely used for data collection; however, data quality may be declining due to the use of virtual private servers to fraudulently gain access to studies. Unfortunately, we know little about the scale and consequence of this fraud, and tools for social scientists to detect and prevent this fraud are underdeveloped. We first analyze 38 studies and show that this fraud is not new, but has increased recently. We then show …
Online coders, open codebooks: New opportunities for content analysis of political communication
Analyzing audiovisual communication is challenging because its content is highly symbolic and less rule-governed than verbal material. But audiovisual messages are important to understand: they amplify, enrich, and complicate the meaning of textual information. We describe a fully-reproducible approach to analyzing video content using minimally—but systematically—trained online workers. By aggregating the work of multiple coders, we achieve relia…
Gendered politics: Political psychology at the intersection of the individual and the environment
Karpowitz, Mendelberg, and Mattioli [Politics, Groups, and Identities 3 (1): 149–177. doi:10.1080/21565503.2014.999804] take important steps to advance our understanding of the interaction between individual gender and the gendered social context – a centrally important task for political psychology broadly speaking. In this response I praise their progress in this difficult journey and then point to several lines of research on gender that sugge…
Masculine Republicans and Feminine Democrats: Gender and Americans’ Explicit and Implicit Images of the Political Parties
Larry M. Bartels. Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age
Larry Bartels begins his magisterial Unequal Democracy with the most famous line from Dahl's 1961 classic: “In a political system where nearly every adult may vote but where knowledge, wealth, social position, access to officials, and other resources are unequally distributed, who actually governs?” Dahl asked a (the?) big question for a democracy, and a generation of empirical research on the American political system has been framed in terms of…
Dangerous Frames: How Ideas about Race and Gender Shape Public Opinion
Beyond Welfare: Framing and the Racialization of White Opinion on Social Security
In this article I argue that the framing of Social Security in political discourse has associated it symbolically with race. The linkages are subtle and symbolic, and they serve to associate Social Security with whiteness in a mirror image of the association of welfare with blackness. In turn, these associations have racialized white opinion on the program. After discussing the theoretical mechanism by which issue frames can unconsciously associa…
Framing Gender: Political Rhetoric, Gender Schemas, and Public Opinion on U.S. Health Care Reform
Although gender plays an enormous role in structuring personal relationships, society, politics, and culture, we know relatively little about when people's gender ideologies will influence their opinions on issues that do not trade directly on matters of gender. This article presents a theory of “group implication,” which defines the conditions under which elite political discourse can lead citizens to perceive and evaluate issues in terms of the…
Exploring the Racial Divide: Blacks, Whites, and Opinion on National Policy
Black and white Americans disagree consistently and often substantially in their views on national policy. This racial divide is most pronounced on policies that intrude conspicuously on the fortunes of blacks and whites, but it is also apparent on a wide array of social welfare issues where race is less obviously in play. Our analysis takes up the question of why blacks and whites differ so markedly, distin- guishing among four alternative inter…
Women and the Social Movements of the 1960s: Activists, Engaged Observers, and Nonparticipants
Many women in the generation that attended college during the 1960s have reported that they were influenced by the social movements of that era, even women who did not participate in them. In addition to political activists, social movements also appear to include “engaged observers”—individuals who are attentive to movement writings and activities, and express moral and even financial support for them, but who take no other action. Although acti…
