本文表明，与男性相比，女性对政治的兴趣、见多识广和效率较低，而且这种政治参与方面的性别差距对政治参与产生了影响。只有将政治利益、信息和效率方面的性别差异与资源方面的性别差异一起考虑，我们才能解释政治活动方面相对较小的性别差异。当我们寻找政治参与中性别差距的根源时，我们发现，这种差距只能部分地用与政治参与相关的教育等因素中的性别差异来解释。此外，这些政治取向上的性别差异似乎是政治所特有的，而不是一般个人属性的表现。 参与所产生的结果具有启发性，但好坏参半。
This paper demonstrates that women are less politically interested, informed, and efficacious than men and that this gender gap in political engagement has consequences for political participation. Only when gender differences in political interest, information, and efficacy are considered along with gender differences in resources can we explain the relatively small disparity between the sexes with respect to political activity. When we searched for the origins of the gender gap in political engagement, we found that it can be explained only partially by gender differences in factors such as education that are associated with political engagement Furthermore, these gender differences in political orientation seem to be specific to politics-rather than the manifestation of general personal attributes Investigation of the extent to which the cues received by males and females that politics is a man's world are responsible for the gender gap in political engagement yielded results that were suggestive, but mixed.
