Vote Like A Man

This project is a large-scale project that aims to understand how political attitudes and the vote are shaped among a diverse electorate. We begin through existing work on the gender gap to take a gender and race-conscious approach to understanding political behavior. 

Several questions we ask are:

• Machismo, sexism, misogynoir: are they really that different?

• Are measures of masculinity, core values, personality predispositions:

  • measurement invariant?

  • equally predictive of political outcomes?

  • a result of similar antecedents?

• How do political emotions shape political interest and behavior across different ethnoracial categories?

• Does ethnoracial identity shape how masculinity impacts political behavior?
