The Political Psychology of Women in U.S. Politics: Routledge Studies in Political Psychology

Editat de Angela L. Bos, Monica C. Schneider
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2016
The Political Psychology of Women in U.S. Politics is a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in women and politics. Highly original and drawing from the best available research in psychology and political science, this book is designed to summarize and extend interdisciplinary research that addresses how and why men and women differ as citizens, as political candidates, and as officeholders. The chapters in this volume are focused on differences in the political behavior and perceptions of men and women, yet the chapters also speak to broader topics within American politics – including political socialization, opinion formation, candidate emergence, and voting behavior. Broadly, this volume addresses the causes and consequences of women’s underrepresentation in American government.
This book is the ideal resource for students and researchers of all levels interested in understanding the unique political experiences of diverse women, and the importance of rectifying the problem of gender disparities in American politics.

Recenzii

'This book is a fascinating exploration of cutting edge research on the many ways that gender influences political participation and preferences—it’s a must read for anyone with an interest in the intersection of gender and politics.' - Linda J. Skitka, Social and Political Psychologist, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA
'The Political Psychology of Women in U.S. Politics lays bare the diverse and complex ways in which gender influences American political behavior. Drawing on psychology for insight, the authors advance our understanding of the gender gap in political attitudes and political ambition, the effects of voter stereotypes on female political figures, and factors that promote and impede women’s political involvement. Gender is not a deterministic influence on political behavior, as the authors in this volume make clear. The gender gap in vote choice varies in magnitude across elections and both male and female political candidates win and lose elections. Nonetheless, gender matters politically and this book adds needed insight into when and how that occurs.' - Leonie Huddy, SUNY at Stonybrook, USA
