尽管最近女性候选人在地方、州和国家选举中取得了成功，但我们发现，选民的性别陈规定型观念对女性候选人有潜在的负面影响，特别是在竞选国家公职时。我们通过研究典型的“男性”和“女性”人格特质的相对重要性，以及“好”政治家和不同类型和级别的办公室的假设候选人的问题能力领域，来测试刻板印象的政治影响。总的来说，我们发现在更高级别的办公室里更倾向于“男性”特征。我们试图调和性别陈规定型观念的存在，这种观念将妇女候选人描绘成在与军队打交道时不够积极或能力不足，而最近妇女在全国和全州范围的选举中取得了选举成功。
Despite the recent electoral success of female candiates in local, state, and national elections, we find that voters' gender stereotypes have potentially negative implications for women candidates, especially when running for national office. We test the political impact of stereotypes by examining the relative importance of typical ''male'' and ''female'' personality traits and areas of issue competence for ''good'' politicians and a hypothetical candidate at different types and levels of office. Overall, we find a preference for ''male'' characteristics at higher levels of office. We attempt to reconcile the existence of gender stereotypes, which portray women candidates as insufficiently aggressive or less competent in their dealings with the military with the recent electoral success of women in national and statewide elections.
