摘要

本文探讨了拉丁裔在美国第112届众议院(2011-2013年)的实质性代表性程度。我们利用大量的全国性美国人样本,来了解选民的态度与现任立法者实际进行的唱名表决的一致性。通过这样做,我们能够对拉丁裔和非拉丁裔选民的选民态度和立法行为进行比较。与之前对国会选区的议员二人组的研究相比,我们使用了一种更为精细的衡量标准,发现相对于非拉丁裔白人,拉丁裔受访者面临着代表性不足,并探索了解释这种关系变化的各种因素,包括个人和背景层面。其中一个因素是一个地区的拉丁裔人口规模。我们发现,更多的拉丁裔人口与拉丁裔受访者的代表性下降有关,此外,这种不足在很大程度上源于这些地区非拉丁裔白人的反拉丁裔态度和行为。总的来说,这里的发现与反弹假说是一致的。

The Representational Deficit of Latinxs in the U.S. House of Representatives
This paper explores the extent to which Latinxs were substantively represented in the 112th U.S. House of Representatives (2011–2013). We make use of a large national sample of Americans to tap into the congruence of the attitudes of constituents with actual roll call votes taken by their legislators in office. In doing so, we are able to make comparisons between constituent attitudes and legislative behavior for Latinx versus non-Latinx constituents. Using a more refined measure than previous studies of constituent-legislator dyads across congressional districts, we find that Latinx respondents face a representational deficit relative to non-Latinx whites and explore the various factors, individual- and contextual-level, that explain variation in that relationship. One such factor is the size of the Latinx population in a district. We find that larger Latinx populations are associated with decreased representation for Latinx respondents and, further, that this deficit is largely rooted in anti-Latinx attitudes and behavior on the part of non-Latinx whites in those districts. On the whole, the findings here are consistent with the backlash hypothesis.
