Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Certain kinds of extracurriculars develop interpersonal, leadership, and participatory skills that are important to citizenship and politics (Niemi and Junn 1998, ch. 5; Glanville 1999). In this research, we focus on simulated legislative debate and ask how such activities might contribute to persistent gender differences observed in elite political participation in adulthood. Specifically, we analyze the gender dynamics, interaction and success of students participating in a national competition of legislative debate. Data come from the 2001 John C. Stennis National Student Congress sponsored by the National Forensic League (NFL). Women are distinctly under-represented among participants and are significantly less successful in the competition. The young women are less likely to exhibit behaviors high in verbal and nonverbal dominance, but those who engage in aggressive verbal behavior � rebutting and referencing others � are more likely to be successful. The competitive simulation of legislative debate reproduces gender status hierarchies and rewards masculine behavior in political learning.
