Politicians' personality traits affect their attitudes towards gender equality.

In a new paper @LSQjournal @corinna_kroeber and I show that the higher MPs score on the Openness trait, the more they support the representation of gender equality 📊

1️⃣ Young women are more likely to be attacked based on their gender.
2️⃣ Young women are more likely to indicate that this is a reason for them to resign from politics.
▶️ A first leak in the political pipeline that threatens equal representation and democratic inclusion.

🗣️Our new study in @JournalWPP shows that online abuse on social media discourages young women from pursuing political offices—before their actual political careers have even begun.

Empirically, we draw on an original survey of youth party members in Switzerland 🇨🇭 The results show pronounced gendered patterns in the character and consequences of online abuse.

Using data from a survey of elite politicians in Germany and Switzerland, the results of a causal mediation analysis show a positive direct effect of Openness that holds independent of a mediating influence of political ideology.

The first pathway proposes a direct effect (Openness ⬆️, Conscientiousness ⬇️). The second pathway runs indirectly through the effect of these personality traits on MPs' general ideological positions

The paper shows that in modern-day parliaments, there are still deeply-rooted traditional attitudes towards gender equality and what roles men and women should play. This constitutes a major impediment to the achievement of gender equality.
