“…Given the many previous studies examining these effects with experimental control, our study adds to the literature by examining the effects of theoretically important constructs in a more real—if less controlled—context. Realistic, specific scenarios are a better measure of sexism in elections (Falk & Kenski, 2006), and our study was able to account for variance in voting that has both statistical and practical significance.…”

This research compares prejudice toward female politicians Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin through the lens of role congruity theory. We measured participants’ evaluations of stereotypicality, competence, warmth, and voting likelihood. Consistent with hypotheses, Clinton was evaluated as less stereotypically feminine and less warm than Palin, whereas Palin was evaluated as less competent than Clinton. Furthermore, participant gender, benevolent sexism, hostile sexism, and political orientation predicted differential voting likelihood for Clinton and Palin. Implications for role congruity, ambivalent sexism, and female politicians are discussed.

“…To incorporate women, the instructor uses case studies of women leaders. The December 2010 issue of Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, for instance, provides interesting analysis of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid (e.g., Falk and Kenski 2006;Heflick and Goldenberg 2009 ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................…”

The New Research on Gender in Political Psychology Conference brought together new and experienced teachers with interests in gender politics. The conference session “Teaching Gender throughout the Curriculum” generated a great deal of discussion concerning the pedagogical practice of gender mainstreaming. Gender mainstreaming—the integration of gendered content into courses required for a major—was recognized as one of 11 recommendations for reforming the undergraduate political science curriculum in the 1991 APSA report “Liberal Learning an The Political Science Major: A Report to the Profession” (popularly referred to as the Wahlke Report). Little information is available on the prevalence of gender courses in the undergraduate curriculum, but the data that does exist suggest such courses are uncommon (Brandes et al. 2001). We found virtually no data on the practice of gender mainstreaming in political science and little data in the way of assessing the impact of gendered content when students are exposed to it. This absence of data suggests gender mainstreaming has not emerged as a serious priority for curricular reform.

“…Political ideology is an important predictor of voting (Falk & Kenski, 2006; Jost, Nosek, & Gosling, 2008); however, the United States 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump presented a significant opportunity to examine other factors that might influence voting behavior. Though women have previously run for the presidency on third-party platforms (Falk, 2010), Hillary Clinton was the first to lead the ticket of one of the two primary American political parties.…”

This research investigated the role of gender attitudes in the United States 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The results of three studies (combined N = 2,816) showed that, as expected, Trump voters were higher in hostile and benevolent sexism than were Clinton voters. Even after controlling for political ideology and gender (Studies 1, 2, and 3) and minority group attitudes (Study 3), greater hostile sexism predicted more positive attitudes toward Trump, less positive attitudes toward Clinton, and retrospective reports of having voted for Trump over Clinton (Studies 2 and 3). Benevolent sexism did not predict additional variation in voting behavior beyond political ideology and hostile sexism. These results suggest that political behavior is based on more than political ideology; even among those with otherwise progressive views, overtly antagonistic views of women could be a liability to women—and an asset to men—running for office.
