关于社会运动如何影响政策结果的研究通常将政策变化视为一种二分现象；一个政府单位要么在特定的时间框架内采取或不采取特定的政策。这种对政策过程的简单化观点有可能掩盖政策过程不同阶段的变动和其他因素的重要性。每个阶段的特点是不同的规则和不同的后果；因此，运动和其他因素在每个阶段应该发挥不同的作用。作者审查了与国家批准《平等权利修正案》有关的政策发展的三个阶段。结果表明，在政策进程的早期阶段，运动对立法决策更重要，但在后期阶段，其影响被公众舆论所掩盖。
Studies of how social movements impact policy outcomes typically treat policy change as a dichotomous phenomenon; a governmental unit either adopts or does not adopt a particular policy in a particular time frame. This simplistic view of the policy process runs the risk of masking how movements and other factors matter at various stages of the policy process. Each stage is characterized by different rules and different consequences; thus, movements and other factors ought to matter differently at each stage. The authors examine three stages of policy development with regard to state ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Results show that movements mattered more to legislative decisions in the earlier stages of the policy process, but that their effects were eclipsed in later stages by public opinion.
