Satisfaction with democracy after presidential power transitions
Much of the existing research on satisfaction with democracy examines cross-national dynamics of the winner-loser gap, exploring how institutional differences shape public opinion. In contrast, this study holds institutional factors constant and investigates how individual-level and system-level changes, i.e. actual transitions in political power following elections, affect people’s appraisals of democracy. In a panel survey that immediately prec…
Increasing Public Support for Transgender Rights through Superordinate LGBT+ Rights Framing
We consider how LGBT+ legal rights frameworks, broadly construed, can be used to bolster support within the general public for transgender subgroup rights. Our research is informed by theoretical perspectives on appeals to superordinate identities to reduce prejudice. Based on a survey experiment in the United States, we find that framing a salient transgender advocacy issue—transgender participation in sports—within a broader LGBT+ legal rights …
Explaining Partisan Gaps in Satisfaction with Democracy after Contentious Elections
What effects do contentious elections have on partisan appraisals of democracy? We consider the case of the November 2020 US election, a highly polarized partisan contest but also an objectively free and fair election by credible accounting. We conducted a panel study embedded within two nationally representative surveys before and after the election. Results indicate a familiar but underexamined partisan gap, in which satisfaction with democracy…
Gender, American Identity, and Sexism
SOCIAL SCIENTISTS LONG HAVE BEEN INTERESTED in explaining why individuals vary in their beliefs about national identity and what citizens think it means to truly belong to their nation. Research to date has provided many insights into the determinants and consequences of emphasizing different elements of American national identity. Understanding why different individuals emphasize particular dimensions of national identity is important because th…

Did Brazilians Vote for Jair Bolsonaro Because They Share his Most Controversial Views
The similarity of Jair Bolsonaro's and Donald Trump's divisive views on a variety of controversial issues has led many critics to argue that Brazilians elected a 'Tropical Trump' in 2018. Research on Trump's election shows that authoritarian, racist, and sexist voters were essential to his narrow victory; however, it is an open question whether Trump's pathway to power is the norm or the exception among right-wing nationalists. Even though candid…
Tribalism in America
Our research speaks to the ongoing debate over the extent and severity of partisan political divisions in American society. We employ behavioral experiments to probe for affective polarization using dictator, trust, and public goods games with party identification treatments. We find that subjects who identify politically with the Democratic or Republican Party and ideologically as liberals and conservatives display stronger affective biases than…
Race, Racial Negativity, and Competing Conceptions of American National Identity
This study explores differences among African Americans, Latinos, and whites regarding which attributes are most important to being truly American and how these competing conceptions relate to an individual’s level of racial animus toward African Americans. Using nationally representative survey data, we first find that Americans of different races vary across six different components of national identity and do so in ways consistent with theoriz…
The Civic Orientation and Political Assimilation of Latino Immigrant Youth
In recent decades, the rapid and unprecedented expansion of the Latino immigrant population has dramatically reshaped the face of American society. Unfortunately, current scholarship on this topic largely overlooks a key cohort: adolescent and young adult Latino immigrants. Our lack of understanding regarding the political inclinations of this population is highly problematic if we wish to know where Latino politics is headed in the coming decade…
Measuring Bias against Female Political Leadership
Much research examining gender bias in politics analyzes responses to explicit survey questions asking individuals whether they prefer male over female leaders or agree that male political leaders are superior. Drawing insights from the measurement of other types of prejudice, this article explores the methodological shortcomings of a widely used question of this type. Analyzing the results of two surveys—one national and one state-level—I compar…
Why Did Women Vote for Donald Trump
Popular accounts of the 2016 presidential election attribute Donald Trump’s victory to the mobilization of angry white men seeking to restore traditional values and social roles. Whereas a majority of Trump voters were male, more than 40% of women who went to the polls on Election Day also supported him. This analysis explores the motivations of these women, asking how partisanship, demographics, and beliefs motivated their vote choice. We found …
Do religious voters discriminate against women gubernatorial candidates
Scholars report that areas with higher concentrations of religious voters elect relatively few women to executive office. These studies, however, cannot explain whether the observed patterns are a direct result of religious individuals’ vote choices. Our study explores this question using Cooperative Congressional Election Studies data from all mixed-gender gubernatorial elections in the 2008 through 2016 general election cycles. We conclude that…
Evangelical Protestantism and Bias Against Female Political Leaders
Objective Gender and politics scholars have paid little attention to religion as a source of individual‐level biases against female politicians. We begin to address this gap by modeling the relationship among evangelical Protestantism, partisanship, and the beliefs that males are better issue advocates and political leaders than women. Methods We employ logistic regression models with data from a 2008 survey administered by the Pew Social and Dem…
Religious Differences among Congressional Districts and the Success of Women Candidates
Scholars exploring the female representation gap in the U.S. Congress have pointed to district-level differences to explain why some districts regularly field women candidates and elect congresswomen while others almost never do. Specifically, demographic, economic, and political characteristics strongly influence a district's female candidacy, nomination, and election rates. This article asks whether also knowing about a district's religious env…
Does Religion Bias Individuals Against Female Political Leadership in Latin America
This study explores the relationship between several dimensions of religiosity and biases against female political leadership within 15 Latin America countries. The central finding is that religious characteristics are correlated with pro-male bias in many countries; however, the relationship varies in strength and even direction from one country to the next. Analyses of a subset of religiously diverse nations further demonstrate that individual-…
The Impact of Religion on Voting For Female Congressional Candidates
Research shows that areas with high levels of aggregate religiosity are less likely to elect female candidates to national, state, and local offices. These studies, however, do not determine the causal mechanisms underlying this relationship. In the present analysis, we seek to examine what role, if any, religious exposure and tradition play in determining individuals’ general election vote choices in mixed-gender contests. To explore this relati…
Recursos Socioeconômicos, Capital Socio-Cultural E Conhecimento Político Como Determinantes Da Formulação De Políticas Públicas Locais No Brasil
O artigo analisa a relação entre a distribuição de recursos sociais em uma comunidade, o comportamento eleitoral de seus eleitores e a adoção, pelos seus líderes políticos, de políticas sociais reformistas. Com a promulgação da Constituição de 1988, muitos centros urbanos brasileiros melhoraram a qualidade de suas políticas sociais, redirecionaram os gastos públicos para beneficiar os mais pobres e democratizaram o processo através do qual as pri…
The Decline of Barriers to Immigrant Economic and Political Rights in the American States
State governments exercise significant powers to regulate the economic and social activities of resident aliens. We review the laws of the six leading states of immigrant settlement regulating access of noncitizens to 23 occupations, updating existing studies from 1946–77. Citizenship requirements for these occupations have plummeted, a change we attribute to federal court decisions, advisory opinions of state attorneys general, and state legisla…
Alive and Kicking
This article evaluates the impact of opposition originating at the national level on affirmative action policies in 13 Texas cities in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We find that increased national hostility to affirmative action in hiring and contracting has had little effect on the content and strength of affirmative action programs in Texas municipalities. In fact, most programs have been maintained or strengthened since the 1980s. However, t…
