A Rational Choice Approach to Explaining Policy Preferences and Concern for Representing Women among State Legislators
Rational choice theory predicts that women, when significantly involved in the production of private competitive goods and services, will adopt the same self‐interested political orientation as similarly economically situated men. Guided by this approach, this nationwide survey of state legislators finds that competitive occupational background significantly reduces support for representing distributive–redistributive policy among both women and …
Pathways to Political Respect in American State Legislatures
We developed a causal model depicting personal and institutional pathways to political respect and tested it with data drawn from a nationwide survey of over 2,400 state legislators. Working from the premise that respected legislators are those most often approached by colleagues for legislative information and advice, we observe that direct paths to political respect include networking, leadership position, seniority, parliamentary expertise, le…
Explaining State Legislators' Casework and Public Resource Allocations
Using survey data from more than 2400 members of the lower houses of 49 state legislatures, this article examines the influence of a set of variables on the amount of time that state legislators spent on the service activities of casework and public resource allocations (“pork”). This research finds that state legislators distinguish between casework and pork activities, rank casework ahead of pork, and that the only common variable predicting bo…
A Path Analysis of Legislative Success in Professional and Citizen Legislatures
This study reports the direct effect of antecedent variables on the acquisition of state legislative leadership positions and bill-passage success and the indirect effect of these antecedents through leadership position. Path analysis is employed to analyze a model for women and men legislators surveyed from the twenty most professional and the twenty most citizen state legislatures. Women now have relative parity in leadership positions, especia…
The Incorporation of Women in State Legislatures
Data from a survey of the forty-nine state Houses of Representatives display congruence between women and men legislators' social, occupational, and political backgrounds. These data also indicate that in proportion to their numbers in the professional state legislatures women have achieved parity with men in leadership and power committee positions, while in the citizen legislatures women have achieved near parity on these matters
