Abstract:

Stauffer (2021) shows when Americans perceive their legislatures as having more gender diversity, they perceive these institutions to be more responsive. In this letter, we use an independently fielded survey to validate Stauffer’s findings and investigate whether her findings extend to race. We successfully replicate Stauffer’s analyses. We also newly demonstrate that perceptions of Black representation in legislatures are related to increased external efficacy, and perceptions of gender descriptive representation are associated with increased trust. Such findings underscore the importance of studying citizens’ perceptions of descriptive representation to understand their attitudes toward government.

Text:

This script creates the main datasets used in the analyses. It first creates subfolders to hold files created by other scripts in the replication files. It then downloads the 2018 CES, 2018 SLU CES Module, and Stauffer (2021) replication files from the Harvard Dataverse. It then creates a dataset with measures using the 2018 CES and SLU Module that are comparable to measures in the Stauffer replication files. Finally, it creates common variable names between the datasets to facilitate the creation of tables in subsequent scripts.
