“…Because the survey sample was skewed in terms of a preponderance of male participants, the effect among men dominated the results and obscured the conclusion that this effect is relevant for male voters, but not for female voters. Thus, the gender-disaggregated models not only provide more accurate insight into voter behavior and coalition politics, they also validate and concretize the findings of the existing literature, which shows that women are more likely to engage in strategic voting than men (Lee and Rich 2018; Shaw, McKenzie, and Underwood 2005).…”

“…First, strategic voting—that is, the act of voting for someone other than a voter’s first-choice candidate to increase the chances of an outcome that, on the whole, will be more satisfactory for the voter—follows gendered patterns. Women are more likely to engage in strategic voting (Lee and Rich 2018; Shaw, McKenzie, and Underwood 2005). Second, findings have demonstrated that women are generally more inclined to compromise than men (Nikolova and Lamberton 2016), though this was not tested specifically in this context.…”

The topic of gender blindness is increasingly gaining the attention of researchers. Even in fields that do not commonly engage with gender, gender blindness has been recognized as a factor that has potential to limit the validity of research findings. This article explores the prevalence and implications of gender blindness in quantitative research for political science outcomes. We first reanalyze three articles recently published in the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) to illustrate the impact of gender blindness on quantitative research. Next, we classify all articles with quantitative methodology published in the AJPS in 2018 and 2019 by the degree of gender blindness in the research design. Our findings demonstrate how gender blindness impacts outcomes and estimate its prevalence in political science. They show that accounting for gender yields more accurate results and facilitates a better understanding of political behavior and phenomena.

“…23.In follow-up analysis, we also tested for differences across age groups (Eggers and Vivyan 2020) and gender (Lee and Rich 2018). We find that neither variable is significantly associated with strategic voting, either in bivariate analysis or when included in the full model.…”

How widespread is strategic voting in two-round electoral systems, and which types of voters are most likely to engage in such behavior? While runoff elections are common in presidential systems around the world, research on strategic voting in these settings remains limited. This paper explores four different types of strategic behavior that are possible in two-round systems, including some types, such as “strong-to-weak” strategic voting, which are not possible in single-shot elections. We use a nationwide survey to assess the incidence and correlates of strategic voting in Brazil’s 2018 presidential election, where thirteen candidates competed in the first round. We find evidence of “weak-to-strong” strategic voting at a similar rate to that documented in single-round elections in other countries. We find little evidence of other types of strategic voting. Furthermore, we show that voters’ confidence in their predictions of the likely electoral outcome and their ideological preferences strongly predict strategic voting. These results point to the importance of accounting for voter beliefs and attitudes in addition to objective voter characteristics to explain strategic voting.

“…Notably, a 2021 meta-analysis of 67 experiments found a gain of only 2% points for female candidates in comparison to men, concluding that gender is not a major factor in vote choice (Schwartz and Coppock, 2020). Finally, a study conducted in South Korea even indicated a negative engagement with respect to females' voting patterns towards women politicians, showing gender bias against female candidates amongst both genders (Lee and Rich, 2018).…”

“…However, a recent meta-analysis found that gender is not a major factor in vote choice (Schwartz and Coppock, 2020). Further, some studies claim for a bias against female candidates from both genders (Lee and Rich, 2018). This study will examine the extent to which the alleged effect takes place with respect to female politicians during social media campaigning.…”

PurposeThe study aims to examine the validity of the gender affinity effect on social media throughout election campaigns.Design/methodology/approachThis paper examines the role of gender in political discourse, using citizens' conversations on Facebook in the days leading up to Israel's 2021 elections as its case study. The analysis measured the engagement generated by male and female politicians in citizens' publicly open Facebook discussions (N = 1875) using a trend-tracking software. The analysis uses t-tests to examine differences in engagement between conversations about male versus female politicians and between posts written by male versus female authors. In addition, a two-way ANOVA analysis was conducted in an attempt to understand the shared impact of both the politicians' gender and posts authors' gender on the posts' engagement.FindingsThe study reveals that although more posts discuss male politicians, posts dealing with female politicians expressed significantly more support towards those politicians. The analysis also highlights that women tend to write more supportive posts and that most of their posts deal with female politicians. Furthermore, interaction effect analysis revealed that women's posts about female politicians generate more engagement in terms of likes, comments and number of participants than posts written by women that deal with male politicians.Practical implicationsThe findings should encourage women politicians to run their campaigns via social media.Originality/valueThe study presents the first social media analysis for gender affinity effect and highlights the importance of the effect in online political communication studies.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-04-2022-0199
