Abstract:

These findings raise the theoretical question of how scholars see group memberships, like race and gender, operating in U.S. politics. Is it, as the socioeconomic status (SES) model contends, simply that race and gender act as a proxy for socioeconomic indicators, and that those factors are in fact what are driving opinion patterns? Or, do we believe that race, gender, and experiences of marginalization as sociological phenomena, affect how particular groups of people see and interpret the political world in a way that is fundamentally different than, for example, age, union membership, or ideology? The sociological approach is similar to Sapiro and Conover’s (1997) distinction between “positional” and “structural” approaches to the study of gender and political behavior. They argue that the positional view assumes that women and men’s political beliefs, values, or issue positions differ, leading them to make different electoral choices. The structural explanation posits gender will gain political significance through the structure of relationships among political attitudes, values, and judgments. In other words, even if men and women hold exactly the same policy positions, the value and weight they place on each issue, because of their life experiences, will vary, making it possible for men and women to vote similarly, but for very different reasons (Sapiro and Conover 1997: 498)
