“…Similarly, although we observe significant treatment effects among pro-choice Black and white women, we do not observe effects among pro-choice Latinas (see in the Supplementary Material). These results comport with studies finding that Latinas’ political ambition is less malleable (see, e.g., Herrick and Pryor 2020; Holman and Schneider 2018). Still, we caution that our results here are speculative; they rely on post hoc analyses from small groups of respondents.…”

“…Still, we caution that our results here are speculative; they rely on post hoc analyses from small groups of respondents. Future work that over-samples women of color (like Herrick and Pryor 2020; Montoya et al 2021) could further examine how messages about exclusion and policy threat resonate among women from different racial and ethnic groups.…”

Previous work suggests that observing women officeholders increases women’s political ambition. Yet, jumps in women’s representation in the United States’ “Years of the Woman”—following the Anita Hill testimonies and the election of Donald Trump—are linked to women’s exclusion from political decision-making. Drawing on focus groups with prospective women candidates, we theorize that exclusion when combined with a gendered policy threat increases women’s political ambition. Using survey experiments replicated across different samples, we show that women who read about an all-male city council poised to legislate on women’s rights report increased ambition compared with their pretreatment ambition levels and to women in other treatment groups. Women’s increased sense of political efficacy drives these results. When women’s rights are not under discussion, men’s overrepresentation does not move (or even depresses) women’s ambition. Seeing the policy consequences of their exclusion causes some women to seek a seat at the table.

“…Black women and men participate at similar levels (F = 4.58, p = 0.0630), but white men report more political activities than do white women (F = 24.09; p = 0.002). These results both conform to and diverge from the existing scholarship, which finds consistent patterns of white women's lower participation (Coffé and Bolzendahl 2010), but has often found that Black women participate at exceptionally high rates (Brown 2014;Farris and Holman 2014;Herrick and Pryor 2020).…”

Racial Limitations on the Gender, Risk, Religion, and Politics Model

Risk aversion dampens political participation and heightens religiosity, with concentrated effects among women. Yet, little is known about how intersecting identities moderate these psychological correlates of religiosity and political engagement. In this paper, we theorize that the risk-religion-politics relationship is gendered and racialized. Using a nationally representative survey, we show that political participation is more strongly correlated with risk for Black women than for any other race-gender group. For religiosity, however, we find little evidence that risk is related to religiosity among Black women, while highly correlated with white women's religious engagement. For men—whether Black or white—risk exhibits a modest, positive relationship with their religiosity. Our results speak to the importance of considering intersectionality and race-gender identities in evaluations of religious and political activities in the United States.

“…We recognize that self-reported registration difficulties may be an imperfect indicator of whether or not voters actually experience problems. Past work on self-reported turnout has found young Americans tend to overreport voting on the CCES (Herrick & Pryor, 2021). Relatedly, even validated measures of turnout on the CCES sometimes fail to reflect national benchmarks due to underrepresented youth turnout in the least populous states (Fraga & Holbein, 2020).…”

Finding DORI: Using Item Response Theory to Measure Difficulty of Registration in the U.S. and Its Impact on Voters

How do states differ in how difficult they make voter registration, and what effect does this have on voters? We propose and validate a new Difficulty of Registration Index (DORI) calculated via an item response theory (IRT) model of five key dimensions of registration (automaticity, portability, deadline, mode, and preregistration) for each state from 2004 to 2020. Since 2004, most states eased registration processes, with Democratic statehouses in racially diverse and young states leading the way. Using CCES data, we find that DORI is associated with increased probability that voters experience problems registering and failing to turnout (in both self-reported and validated turnout data). These effects are pronounced for young voters. This study holds lessons for how restrictive registration procedures can change the shape of the electorate and make it harder to achieve political equality.
