Doing Political Science: The American Voter
The Inconsistent Effects of Political Knowledge:
Exploring Political Participation of Introverted and Extroverted Men and Women at Different
Levels of Political Knowledge
This study aims to refute the view that women are more empowered than men by political
knowledge. I anticipate finding that political knowledge in some conditions depresses political
participation. Those that believe political knowledge asymmetrically benefits women think
women hold themselves to a higher standard and therefore require greater certainty before
participating (Jones-White and Ondercin 2011: 676-680). The expectation follows that women
and men participate at similar levels at the highest levels political knowledge. However, the
empirical data simply doesn’t support this uncomplicated theory. They expect women to “assess
their qualifications differently than do men,” which seems to imply that we should expect
different types of political activities from men and women, all else constant (Jones-White and
Ondercin 2011: 677).
Authors of these studies posit the gap between men and women should be lower for
activities that are less public (Jones-White and Ondercin 2011: 682-683), and as such the gap
between men and women should be most pronounced for highly public activities. However, a
clear progression of visibility for these acts is not immediately obvious. Donating money and
voting are private activities, but voting is also highly discussed. This study puts the two more
private activities, voting and giving money, first and the latter three more public activities,

wearing a button or having a bumper sticker, attending a rally or meeting, having a yard sign,
and volunteering, last.
The way that other studies show their hypotheses are positive is by using a statistical
technique which takes the difference between the change in political participation by political
knowledge levels of men and women. These authors show that political participation of women
is becomes more equal as political knowledge increases by subtracting the difference in marginal
effects of political knowledge on political participation for men and women. Using this
technique, they show that the gaps in participation decrease as political knowledge increases.
The authors assume that women are becoming empowered by political knowledge to the extent
that men are. However, this test doesn’t show what is actually occurring for each population,
which I will show is not an unconditional gain in political participation for all segments of the
population with women gaining more. Through adequate tests, this study shows that what occurs
in some cases women aren’t changing in levels of political participation, but that men are
participating less as their political knowledge increases.
Furthermore, in seeking to show the conditionality of political knowledge’s effect and its
lack of consistency across certain stratifications of the sample, this study shows that introverts
and extroverts react differently to political knowledge. Especially for public acts, I expect to find
that introverts are less effected by political knowledge levels and extroverts are highly effected.
As introverts learn more about opposing candidates, they theoretically become immobilized from
their conflicting political and social attachments to the candidates. Extroverts react oppositely,
taking to the public that which they feel strongest about.
Literature Review
Murray 2
The theoretical relation between political knowledge and political participation is that
those that are politically knowledgeable will feel sure about their positions (McClurge 2006).
Those that feel ambiguous towards their choices are not likely to devote time, energy, or money
to a particular choice. The belief is that as political knowledge increases so does the individual’s
knowledge about the candidates’ positions. This knowledge allows the individual to build an
affinity towards a certain candidate. Individuals with an affinity for a certain candidate will be
more willing to devote resources to the candidate, and therefore will participate at higher rates
than those without political knowledge.
Primarily, this research parses the effect of political knowledge on political participation.
There is a fair amount of consensus in the literature that women gain more from political
knowledge than men, regardless of the information’s origin (Jones-White and Ondercin 2011;
Djupe, McClurg, and Sokhey 2010). This line of reasoning is the main point to be refuted. It will
be shown that it is not the case that women gain more from political knowledge than men, but
that men are negatively affected by political knowledge. This conclusion is precisely opposite of
the conclusion drawn by Djupe et. Al (2010) who posited that because women tend to score
higher on agreeableness and extroversion they would be more sensitive from dissenting opinions,
a logical correlation with political knowledge. Instead, it seems women are far less effected by
disagreement. It seems instead of that “women benefit from socially-supplied expertise, while
men do not” that, assuming the origin of such expertise is not significant, men are negatively
affected by expertise whereas women are not.
No literature deals precisely with this issue. Verba et al.’s summarization that “[i]interest
in political socialization is not especially fashionable these days” (Verba, Burns, and Lehman
Schlozman 1997) rings true in 2015; few researchers interested in political participation taking
Murray 3
any account of the effect of personality types on political participation. That the effect of
political knowledge, widely regarded as a universally effective indicator has no limited or
contradictory effects on introverted men and women merits further consideration into the
possible conditionality of other predictors of political participation.
Methods
The crux of the paper is describing that men and women react differently to political
knowledge and that this effect is very different than as it’s described in the literature. A logit
analysis is used to estimate the probability of an individual performing a political activity based
on a variety of predictors described in the data section. The crucial predictor investigated in this
study is the relationship between political knowledge, gender, and extroversion/introversion.
Data
The data was obtained through Qualtrics and is sample drawn from a national pool. Due
to the survey’s design, each response is multiplied by four. The survey size appears to be 6200,
but was asked of 1550 individuals. Each table and figure reflect this fact.
This section describes the most important variables in the study. Political knowledge is an
accumulation of four factual questions. The respondent is asked which party is in control of the
House of Representatives at the time of the survey’s administration, how long House
Congressman are elected for, what portion of Congress it takes to override a veto, and which
party is more conservative at the national level. Response rates to these questions are offered in
the descriptions section below.
Political participation is the accumulation of four activities: displaying a political yard
sign; attending a political rally or meeting; giving money to a political campaign; and
Murray 4
volunteering time to a political campaign. These represent some of the most common political
activities and are frequently employed in studies of political participation.
Extroversion is the degree to which the respondent agreed with the statement that they
were “extroverted, enthusiastic” minus the degree to which they agreed with the statement that
they were “reserved, quiet.” Six degrees of variance were available to the respondent. The
extroversion scale is coded such that a six is full agreeance with the extroversion statement and
full disagreement with the introversion statement. Full introversion is the opposite.
An interaction term was created between political knowledge and extroversion to
measure the extent to which political participation is predicted by introversion/extroversion and
political knowledge. All control variables are scaled between 0 and 1 to simplify understanding
their effect. Detailed descriptions of all the variables employed can be found in Appendix C.
Descriptions
Previous researcher have found that women are more empowered by their political
knowledge than men. Those who subscribe to this view propose that women hold themselves to a
higher standard and take more information to come to a decision on which political candidate
will be better for them (McClurg 2006). Because of this, they are less likely to devote resources
to a candidate at lower levels of political knowledge. Women’s higher threshold for political
participation combined with their lower levels of political knowledge depresses levels of female
participation.
[Table 1 Here]
Table 1 presents political participation levels across different activities for men and
women. The last column of Table 1 shows the difference between men and women’s
Murray 5
participation levels. Women are found to perform political activities at lower rates than men for
all activities except attending a political rally or meeting, though the difference is marginal
at .03%. Voting is not included in the “all political activities” graphic because most people in the
dataset reported voting and therefore there would be little variance to study.
[Table 2 Here]
Table 2 shows the portion of those answering political knowledge questions correctly and
incorrectly by gender. Again, the last column shows the difference between the genders,
calculated as the portion of men answering correctly minus the portion of women answering
correctly. Men answered questions correctly at a higher proportion than women on all questions
with the difference being the smallest on the question which had the highest proportion of correct
answers. Questions were multiple choice, which may have increased the portion of correct
answers.
Political knowledge is predicted differently for men and women. For both genders, many
of the same variables are significant predictors of whether the individual is politically
knowledgeable, but the discrepancies merit cursory evaluation. Table 3 presents a regression
analysis with political knowledge as the dependent variable for women on the left and men on
the right. P-values are reported in parenthesis beneath the regression coefficients. The regression
isn’t immediately applicable to this study, and thus its analysis is discussed in Appendix A.
[Figure 1 Here]
Finally, to be sure the politically knowledgeable does not systematically vary by
extroversion levels, I measure mean levels of extroversions across political knowledge levels.
Figure 1 shows that extroversion levels are remarkably even across political knowledge levels, as
Murray 6
illustrated by the red line. The aggregate level of extroversion is slightly introverted, and this is
reflected at each level of political knowledge.
Analysis
Five political activities are measured: voting; displaying a yard sign; volunteering time;
giving money; attending a rally or meeting; and wearing a button or having a bumper sticker.
The analysis is conducted through a series of logit models estimating the probability an
individual participated in a particular political activity. First is a summary of all political
activities except voting.
[Figure 2 Here: All political activities]
With full controls, women participate at lower levels. Interestingly, for neither extroverts
nor introverts women does political knowledge increase the likelihood of participating in a
political activity to a statistically significant level. Although the trend for extroverts is positive,
its effect doesn’t surpass 90% confident intervals. For introverted men, however, the effect is
highly significant and negative. This seems to be where other researchers found support for the
claim that women are significantly empowered by political knowledge. The common
mathematical technique used to find show that women are more empowered by increasing
political knowledge levels is a technique which subtracts the effect of political knowledge on
political participation at each level. This makes women appear to become empowered by
political knowledge to a level on par with men. The reality is that men are participating less at
higher political knowledge levels, and the rate at which they participate decreases more than
women at the highest political knowledge levels.
Murray 7
[Figure 3 Here: Voting]
For measures of voting, men are insignificantly affected by political knowledge levels
regardless of introversion/extroversion levels. Extroverted women are positively affected barely
above significance levels. Extroverted women provide minimal support for previous researchers’
findings. It’s typical for voting to be included as a political activity. Voting is also one of the
most private political activities included, and if educated individuals are the most prone to
conflict avoidance, they might express their political preferences in only private ways.
[Figure 6 Here: Giving Money]
Men were insignificantly effected by political knowledge levels. Introverted and
extroverted men participated at very different levels regardless of political knowledge levels.
Introverted and extroverted women are indistinguishable at the lowest level of political
knowledge. Extroverted women were about twice as likely at the highest political knowledge
levels to give money than at the lowest level.
[Figure 4 Here: Displaying a Yard Sign]
Extroverted men are more likely to have a yard sign at higher levels of political
knowledge with a confidence interval that just exceeds the 10% threshold. Introverted men
follow the expected trend of decreasing probability with increasing political knowledge levels.
The effect of political knowledge on men is very strong; participation decreases by about a factor
of about 10 from lowest to highest knowledge levels. Interestingly, women are insignificantly
effected by political knowledge.
[Figure 5 Here: Volunteering Time]
Murray 8
Volunteering one’s time is somewhat indeterminate. Volunteering has the fewest number
of people participating in the activity, and the low sample size produces huge confidence
intervals. Taken with this in mind, political knowledge’s effect on men doesn’t exceed
confidence intervals, though the trend for both activities suggests negative correlations. For
women, however, extroverts are more likely to participate in political activities with increasing
political knowledge levels and introverts are less likely. This coincides with the initial
hypotheses.
[Figure 7: Attending a Political Meeting or Rally]
Men and women are generally indistinguishable from each other at each political
knowledge interval. The only stratification of the population significantly affected by political
knowledge levels were introverted women, whose probability for attending a political meeting or
rally decreased by a factor of about four from the lowest to the highest level of political
knowledge. Extroverted women seem to increase over political knowledge levels, but the effect
doesn’t reach statistical significance.
[Figure 8 Here: Wearing a button/Having a Bumper Sticker]
Introverted men are less likely by over a factor of two to wear a button or have a bumper
sticker when they go from lowest levels of political knowledge to highest levels of political
knowledge. Extroverted men trend negatively, but fail to meet significance standards. Introverted
women also tend negatively but fail to meet statistical significance standards. Extroverted
women, however, increase in likelihood by a factor of about three from lowest to highest levels
of political knowledge. These results suggest a trend of inconsistency between political
knowledge and political participation.
Murray 9
Conclusion
[Table 4 Here: Sign of Relationship on Political Participation of Introverts and Extroverts by
Political Knowledge Levels]
This study cannot find support for any trend between political knowledge,
extroversion/introversion, and gender. Table 4, which displays the direction of political
knowledge’s effect on political participation by extroversion/introversion and gender, is the
clearest indicator of this fact. Table 4 does not take into account statistical significance but only
the direction of the coefficients. The directions fail to display any discernable patterns.
This study was successful in showing that political knowledge does not have a universal
positive or negative effect on an individual’s probability of participating in political activities. It
was a failure if the objective was to find consistent conditions under which political knowledge
operates on political participation by political activity. This study was successful in showing that
political participation is systematically different for introverts and extroverts, though the nuances
of this relationship and the types of political behaviors which introverts and extroverts will
participate in must undergo further studies to be understood.

All coefficients present, extroversion has an effect on men only in the negative direction. Election interest has 1.5 times the effect for men than for women. Feelings of efficacy are negatively correlated for men and women with political knowledge; the effect for men is twice that of women. Married men are less political knowledgeable; divorced men are more politically knowledgeable. Neither are significant for women. The amount to religious beliefs guides one’s life is negatively correlated with political knowledge for men, but the effect is insignificant for women. Pessimistic views on the economy are negatively correlated with political knowledge for women, but positively correlated with political knowledge for men. Women who agree with the statement that they want their political views to be known are more knowledgeable than women who don’t; for men, this variable is insignificant.
