We investigate gender gaps in political participation with 2004 ISSP data for 18 advanced Western democracies (N: 20,359) using linear and logistic regression models. Controlling for socio-economic characteristics and political attitudes reveals that women are more likely than men to have voted and engaged in 'private' activism, while men are more likely to have engaged in direct contact, collective types of actions and be (more active) members of political parties. Our analysis indicates that demographic and attitudinal characteristics influence participation differently among men and among women, as well as across types of participation. These results highlight the need to move toward a view of women engaging in differing types of participation and based on different characteristics.
我们使用线性和逻辑回归模型，依据2004年国际社会调查项目（ISSP）针对18个西方发达民主国家（样本量：20359）的数据，研究了政治参与中的性别差异。在控制社会经济特征和政治态度后发现，女性比男性更有可能参与投票和开展“私下”的维权行动，而男性则更有可能进行直接接触、参与集体行动类型以及成为（更活跃的）政党成员。我们的分析表明，人口统计学和态度特征对男性和女性参与政治的影响不同，而且在不同类型的政治参与中也是如此。这些结果凸显了有必要转向一种观点，即女性基于不同的特征参与不同类型的政治活动。
