摘要最近的出版物认为，在许多民主国家，投票方面的传统性别差距已经缩小或逆转。然而，这种减少可能只适用于某些类型的选举。在先前研究的基础上，本文假设，尽管妇女在全国选举中的参与率与男子相同或更高，但她们参加超国家选举的人数较少。作者通过分析欧洲议会(EP)选举中选民投票率性别差距的演变，对这种可能性进行了实证研究。本文有三个重要贡献。首先，它表明了欧洲议会选举中传统性别差距的存在和稳定。其次，研究发现，政治利益上的性别差异是造成这种性别差异的主要原因。第三，这些政治利益上的性别差异反过来又取决于背景。它们与文化性别差异密切相关，这种差异通过男孩和女孩数学成绩的差异表现出来。
Abstract Recent publications argue that the traditional gender gap in voting has decreased or reversed in many democracies. However, this decrease may apply only to some types of elections. Building on prior studies, this article hypothesizes that although women participate at the same or higher rates than men in national elections, they participate less in supranational elections. The authors investigate this possibility empirically by analyzing the evolution of the gender gap in voter turnout in elections to the European Parliament (EP). The article makes three important contributions. First, it shows the presence and stability of the traditional gender gap in EP elections. Secondly, it finds that gender differences in political interest are the main source of this gender gap. Thirdly, these gender differences in political interest are, in turn, context dependent. They are strongly associated with cultural gender differences, which are captured through differences in boys’ and girls’ maths scores.
