Description |
Theories of social-group behavior and issue salience are merged to introduce the idea of group-salient issues. Certain women's issues in the 1992 Senate elections were salient only to women when voting in contests where one of the candidates was a woman. Logit analysis of voting for U.S. senator is from the 1992 National Election Study and from Voter Research and Surveys state exit polls (VRS). Women's voting for female Senate candidates in 1992 was related to issues affecting uniquely women's interests where women might be perceived as more competent than men.
