This study examined the correlates of midlife political participation among 64 Black and 107 White women of the college classes of 1967-1973. Compared with White women, Black women scored higher on political participation, generativity, power discontent, and politicization. Factor analysis of personality and political attitude variables yielded three factors labeled Political Identity, Power Discontent, and Social Responsibility. Adult political participation was regressed on level of student activism and index scores of political identity, power discontent, and social responsibility. For both racial groups, social responsibility was associated with midlife political participation. For White women, political identity was also related; for Black women, student activism bore a significant relationship. The findings suggest that Black and White women's historical and political contexts imbued their political activities with different meanings.
本研究调查了1967年至1973年大学班级中的64名黑人女性和107名白人女性中年政治参与的相关因素。与白人女性相比，黑人女性在政治参与、繁衍感、权力不满和政治化方面得分更高。对人格和政治态度变量进行因素分析，得出了三个因素，分别为政治认同、权力不满和社会责任。将成人政治参与对学生激进主义水平以及政治认同、权力不满和社会责任的指数得分进行回归分析。对于两个种族群体而言，社会责任都与中年政治参与相关。对于白人女性，政治认同也有关系；对于黑人女性，学生激进主义有着显著关系。研究结果表明，黑人和白人女性的历史和政治背景赋予了她们的政治活动不同的意义。
