Die beiden Herren im Vorschaubild gilt es zu ignorieren, es geht um einen viel interessanteren Kollegen bei uns am Fachbereich. Daniel Höhmann ordnet im «Echo der Zeit» (ab 28:47) ein, warum Riehen ein politischer Sonderfall ist: ungewöhnlich viele junge Menschen im Parlament – und was das bedeutet.

💡 What this means Gendered role expectations continue to shape political behavior. Women MPs face stronger expectations to be knowledgeable about women’s issues. When re-election is uncertain, women legislators have stronger incentives to engage more closely with voter preferences.

🔎 What we do Empirically, we rely on a unique pair of parallel surveys of citizens and elected representatives in Germany and Switzerland, allowing us to directly compare politicians’ perceptions with voters’ actual preferences.

📒 What we find Women MPs are not generally more accurate than men in estimating voters’ preferences on women’s issues. However, consistent with a strategic argument, their accuracy increases significantly when they are electorally vulnerable.

@dahoehmann.bsky.social has been interested in politics since his school days – less so in active participation and more in looking at political processes. Today, his research focuses on the question of how women are represented in politics. What drives his passion for this topic 👇

Today’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is a timely reminder that violence against women also threatens gender equality in politics. Our study shows how online abuse discourages young women from entering and staying in politics.

Sexist harassment on online platforms discourages young women from getting involved in politics, as shown by a new study by @dahoehmann.bsky.social, Tomoko Latteier and @stefaniebailer.bsky.social. The consequences are not only borne by those directly affected, with democracy also being harmed.

1️⃣ Young women are more likely to be attacked based on their gender. 2️⃣ Women youth party members are more likely to indicate that this is a reason for them to resign from politics. ▶️ A first leak in the political pipeline that threatens equal representation and democratic inclusion.

🔎The study investigates the frequency, character, and consequences of online abuse among youth party members and asks to what extent it affects women’s and men’s decisions to pursue a career in politics.

It was a fantastic workshop with excellent presentations and discussions! Thank you to everybody who joined us in Basel.

The first pathway proposes a direct effect (Openness ⬆️, Conscientiousness ⬇️). The second pathway runs indirectly through the effect of these personality traits on MPs' general ideological positions

Using data from a survey of elite politicians in Germany and Switzerland, the results of a causal mediation analysis show a positive direct effect of Openness that holds independent of a mediating influence of political ideology.

We introduce the idea that the personality of MPs constitutes an important additional explanatory variable for their dedication to gender equality issues and argue that Openness and Conscientiousness shape MPs' positions toward gender equality through two different pathways:

The paper shows that in modern-day parliaments, there are still deeply-rooted traditional attitudes towards gender equality and what roles men and women should play. This constitutes a major impediment to the achievement of gender equality.
