Abstract

We study how individual and country-level variables interact in affecting political gender attitudes in Europe. Based on data from the 2017 Eurobarometer survey, we show that there are high levels of support for more women in politics and legal measures to achieve gender parity across the EU. In fact, more people, and women in particular, put higher trust in female compared to male political representatives than the other way round. We find that – at the individual level – gender, age and education have significant effects on political gender attitudes. Contrary to theory, however, the effect of gender is not mediated by beliefs about the proper role of women in politics and society. We also do not find support for the contextual effects of masculine culture and the religiosity of society, but we do uncover significant gaps in political gender attitudes between post-communist and other countries, especially for men.

谁害怕更多女性从政，为什么?28个欧洲国家的民意分析

我们研究了个人和国家层面的变量如何相互作用，影响欧洲的政治性别态度。根据2017年欧洲晴雨表调查的数据，我们显示，在欧盟范围内，更多女性参与政治和法律措施以实现性别平等的支持程度很高。事实上，与男性政治代表相比，更多的人，尤其是女性，更信任女性，而不是男性。我们发现，在个人层面上，性别、年龄和教育程度对政治性别态度有显著影响。然而，与理论相反，性别的影响并不受关于妇女在政治和社会中适当角色的信念的影响。我们也没有找到支持男性文化和社会宗教虔诚的背景影响的证据，但我们确实发现了后共产主义国家和其他国家之间政治性别态度的显著差异，尤其是男性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
