我们研究了过去50年来男女态度表达的差异。利用全国选举研究（内斯），我们检查了表达对候选人和政党喜欢和不喜欢的开放式评论的数量，以及女性对与政策相关的特定封闭式问题回答“不知道”的次数百分比。、候选人和团体。我们发现，与男性相比，女性不太可能对政党和候选人表达同样多的喜欢和不喜欢，更有可能回答“不知道”。有趣的是，这种差异在过去50年里几乎没有变化。利用挖掘男女差异的传统原因的模式，包括政治和心理资源，我们发现，政治资源模型减弱了性别效应，但并没有消除这种效应。男性和女性在公开表达政治态度的意愿上持续存在的差异表明，尽管女性资源增加，但男性和女性之间的政治社会化差异并没有消失以及其他形式的政治活动，如投票。我们表明，这种未能表达的态度，在调查的情况下，有助于解释持续的性别差异的形式的政治活动，而不是投票。
We examine the differences in attitude expression between men and women over the past 50 years. Using the National Election Study (NES), we examine both the number of open-ended comments expressing like and dislike of candidates and parties and the percentage of times women responded "don't know" to specific closed-ended questions relating to policies, candidates, and groups. We find that women are less likely to express as many likes and dislikes toward the parties and candidates and are more likely to respond "don't know" than men. It is interesting that this difference has shown little change over the past 50 years. Using models that tap traditional reasons for differences between men and women, including political and psychological resources, we find that a political resource model diminishes the gender effect but does not eliminate it. The continued and unabated differences between men and women in their willingness to openly express political attitudes suggest that political socialization differences between men and women have not disappeared despite female increases in resources and other forms of political activity such as voting. We show that this failure to express attitudes in the survey situation helps explain the continuing gender differences for forms of political activity other than voting.
