shows that online abuse on social media discourages young women from pursuing political offices—before their actual political careers have even begun.

1️⃣ Young women are more likely to be attacked based on their gender.
2️⃣ Women youth party members 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.

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.

🔎The study investigates the frequency, character, and consequences of online abuse among youth party members and asks to what extent it affects women’s and men’s decisions to pursue a career in politics.

Ein wichtiger Punkt, den @dahoehmann.bsky.social hervorhebt, ist die ungleiche Repräsentation im Parlament:

„Der Bauernverband hat beste Verbindungen ins Parlament und deutlich mehr Einfluss als andere Lobbys. Das ist international gesehen ein Unikum.“

Daniel Höhmann @dahoehmann.bsky.social · Aug 12

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

Politicians' personality traits affect their attitudes towards gender equality.

In a new paper in LSQ, Corinna Kroeber and I show that the higher MPs score on the Openness trait, the more they support the representation of gender equality.

Personality and political representation—How personality traits shape MPs' attitudes toward gender equality

This study analyzes whether the personality traits of Members of Parliament (MPs) affect their attitudes toward the representation of gender equality issues. Based on the Big Five personality traits,...
