摘要

虽然先前的研究表明,王朝政治和性别配额可能会削弱女性的象征性代表性,但台湾结合了这两种不利条件,却拥有最高的女性参政率之一。我们认为,这可以通过性别配额来解释,性别配额提高了女性候选人的竞争力,从而在竞选期间形成了榜样效应。采用准实验设计,以台湾地方选举性别配额的实施为研究对象,分析2005-2022年亚洲晴雨表调查的五波数据。我们的研究结果表明,配额显著增加了女性选民的政治兴趣,但不影响政治效能和性别态度。本研究透过台湾案例,挑战主流观点,并提供性别角色模范如何在选举情境中出现的见解。

Electoral role models: The impact of gender quotas on voters in Taiwan
While previous research suggests that dynasty politics and gender quotas may undermine the symbolic representation of women, Taiwan combines both unfavorable conditions yet boasts one of the highest female political participation. We argue this is explained by gender quotas enhancing the competitiveness of female candidates, thereby fostering a role model effect during campaigns. Using a quasi-experimental design based on the implementation of gender quotas in Taiwan's local elections, we analyze data from five waves of the Asian Barometer Survey (2005–2022). Our findings show that quotas significantly increase political interest among female voters but do not impact political efficacy and gender attitudes. This study challenges prevailing perspectives by examining Taiwan's case and offers insights into how gender role models can emerge in electoral contexts.

期刊介绍: Electoral Studies is an international journal covering all aspects of voting, the central act in the democratic process. Political scientists, economists, sociologists, game theorists, geographers, contemporary historians and lawyers have common, and overlapping, interests in what causes voters to act as they do, and the consequences. Electoral Studies provides a forum for these diverse approaches. It publishes fully refereed papers, both theoretical and empirical, on such topics as relationships between votes and seats, and between election outcomes and politicians reactions; historical, sociological, or geographical correlates of voting behaviour; rational choice analysis of political acts, and critiques of such analyses.
