Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women''s voices.Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women’s numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women’s deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests.Bringing clarity and insight to one of today’s most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women’s voices into the conversation on matters of common concern.

The chapters take a range of approaches. Some feature detailed case studies, advancing the understanding of key political psychology concepts and highlighting emerging intersections with other innovative fields. Others outline cutting-edge developments in theory and methods – across research areas including social psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and computational social science – and discuss how those contribute to political psychology. By considering these new perspectives and possibilities, the Handbook of Innovations in Political Psychology presents a future of more inclusive, rigorous, and impactful political psychology research.
Offering a retrospective and prospective investigation into the landscape of political psychology, this Handbook is an invaluable resource for students and researchers in political theory and science, public policy, and social psychology. Political practitioners such as government officials, political operatives, and pollsters will also find this informative.
