AU - Schneider, Saundra K. T2 - International Journal of Public Administration AB - Abstract This article examines the relationship between government performance and quality of life in the American states. We contend that the management capacity of state governments should have direct, tangible impacts on the overall social and economic well‐being of state citizenry. In order to test this idea, we examine the influence of state management capacity (using the 1999 Government Performance Project grades), alongside other economic and political variables, on two prominent measures of state quality of life—The Morgan Quitno “Most Livable State” Index and State Policy Reports' (SPP) “Camelot Index.” We find that both state economic conditions and governmental policy priorities have significant impacts on state performance levels. But, our results clearly indicate that the management capacity of state governments also contributes directly to improving the overall quality of life for state citizens.

AU - Schneider, Saundra K. T2 - Public Administration Review AB - Government performance is an enduring concern for students of public management, public administration, and political science. Government's administrative arrangements and managerial behavior can profoundly influence programmatic content, activities, and outcomes; therefore, considering public management's effects is necessary for a true understanding of public policy and government performance. This article uses data from the Maxwell School's Government Performance Project to examine the relationship between state governments’ managerial capacity and a measure of government performance (specifically, state policy priorities). We find that state management capacity has direct effects on state policy commitments: States possessing higher levels of management capacity tend to favor programmatic areas that distribute societal benefits widely (that is, collective benefits) as opposed to narrowly (that is, particularized benefits). Our analysis demonstrates that public interest group activity, government ideology, and citizen ideology each have significant, predictable effects on state policy commitments. Thus, our findings place managerial capacity alongside other more commonly studied state characteristics as an important influence on government activities.

Using a rich, contextual dataset containing measures not only of respondent perceptions of political information, but actual content coding of those sources of political information, we estimate how television, newspapers, personal discussants, organizations, and political parties may have impacted the voting of men and women in the 1992 U.S. presidential election. We find that women’s vote choices are more likely than men’s to be influenced by the organizations to which they belong. Women are also more likely to respond to television news with a hostile media bias—they see television newscasts as definitively favoring the candidate that they oppose. We address possible explanations for these patterns of results and point towards directions for additional research.

We would like to thank Lonna Rae Atkeson for helpful comments. We would like to thank Paul Allen Beck, Russell Dalton, and Robert Huckfeldt for making their enhanced Cross National Election Project data available. The author’s names are listed alphabetically.Notes1 The full list of organizations that respondents were asked if they were a member of are: labor unions, business or professional associations, farmer associations, women’s rights organizations, church or religious groups, environmental groups, public interest groups, fraternal organizations, sports or gun clubs, neighborhood associations, veteran’s organizations, civil groups (such as parent–teacher organizations), ethnic, racial or nationality associations, and other.2 We exclude Perot from our codings of bias and subsequent analyses since: (1) although receiving 19% of the popular vote, there was much less evidence of media bias as well as very low levels of Perot influences among discussants and organizations in the data; (2) considerable scholarly research indicates that Perot drew support evenly from Bush and Clinton (Polsby & Wildavsky, 2000; Rosenstone, Behr, & Lazarus, 1996; and Weisberg & Kimball, 1995); and (3) it consequently is unclear how Perot bias should impact results in what remains a primarily two-party electoral context.3 Although this conclusion may not be entirely justified, to exclude respondents who did receive exposure to all these intermediaries would lead to a rather severe missing data problem, especially when the overall N is cut in half by estimating separate models by gender. Furthermore, in other analyses, where respondents not receiving political information from a particular source were excluded from analyses, results were not substantially different from results coded as those here.4 We choose to use household, rather than respondent, income as the control variable as it should have a stronger relationship with political attitudes. For example, a nonworking person whose spouse earns $200,000 a year will likely share the political attitudes of other wealthy persons, rather than the attitudes of the unemployed and lower SES. Household income, in addition to being the standard income measure used in voting analyses (Abramson, Aldrich, & Rohde, 1998; Miller & Shanks, 1996), is the only income measure available in this survey.5 We choose to code the impact of racial minority as a Black/non-Black dummy variable because the relationship between Blacks and the Democratic party is the strongest and most consistent relationship of any racial/ethnic group and partisan affiliation (Abramson et al., 1998; Tate, 1993).6 In repeating this regressions in a multinomial logit framework, in which Perot voters are no longer excluded, the patterns of significant coefficients of the models in Table 2 remain the same.7 It should be noted that although including all respondents in a single interaction model in which gender is interacted with each independent variable would be preferable for determining statistically significant differences between men and women, we have chosen the dual model approach for ease of interpretation. Nonetheless, when we ran models, which featured interaction terms with the key independent variables, we obtained statistically significant interaction terms for those variables in which there was a difference in statistical significance for men and women. Furthermore, these differences are not a matter of splitting hairs, e.g., p=.04 versus p=.06. In cases where women had a statistically significant results of p<.05, men came nowhere near approaching significance on the same variable.8 Ideally, it would be very useful to examine the levels of psychological and/or behavioral commitment to these various groups and how this may impact their influence. Unfortunately, the data only indicate whether or not the respondents considers themselves to be members of the mentioned groups.9 Since up to five discussants were interviewed for each respondent, we focus here on just the primary discussant for ease of interpretation. The examined patterns in subsequent discussants closely followed those with the primary discussant.

Society is increasingly dependent on advances in science and technology to facilitate the examination and development of solutions to the critical problems we face today. For more than a century, the nation has turned to the National Academies— National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council—for independent, objective scientific advice. A new report of the National Academies Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources, Countering Agricultural Bioterorrism, addresses the nation’s vulnerability to terrorist attacks against agriculture and provides recommendations for strengthening our ability to prepare and respond to such attacks.

I look specifically at these PACs because they should be especially sensitive to shifting veto points in the legislative process and, consistent with CPG, contribute increasingly more to the majority party and its leadership and relatively less to members of relevant standing committees. My results show both sectors to give more to leadership as party becomes more important. Increasing CPG, however, generally results in greater giving by tobacco to members of the majority party and relatively larger contributions from alcoholic beverages to committee members and their chairs. I reveal a principal cause of this difference to be issue salience and conclude by arguing that contributions from some PACs are reacting to increased partisanship in the House but PACs interested in issues of relatively low salience still behave as if dealing with a chamber organized along distributive lines—a development that is consistent with CPG.

D. T2 - Social Science Computer Review AB - TextQuest is a comprehensive content analysis program developed and distributed by Harald Klein, a German academic. Its TextGrab module can download most web sites into a single text file. Its RTags utility can strip html code (but not Javascript code) from the downloaded file. TextQuest can do word counts, phrase (word sequence) counts, category counts using a user-created dictionary of words and phrases that belong together; keyword-in-context concordance listings by word, phrase, or category; word pattern searches; and statistical vocabulary analysis. Although featuring the bells and whistles of commercial Windows packages, the TextQuest system is functionally efficient, and the level of e-mail technical support from the author-publisher was excellent. The central deficiency was the inability of the program to deal with scripted web pages not using conventional html coding, although a future version of the package promises to remedy this shortcoming.Content analysis can lead to findings that are interesting and of theoretical significance. It is a particularly relevant approach when the focus is on verbal images, as in the study of political culture. Various theories of political culture are associated with predictions about which verbal images should be associated with certain types of subjects, such as liberal or conservative subjects. Content profile analysis, illustrated in Figure 1, can portray verbal images in property space for purposes of testing hypotheses derived from political culture theory. Figure 1, for instance, is the profile for most used verbal images distinguishing the web site of Senator Jesse Helms from that of Senator Hillary Clinton. Verbal images of God, as one example, are a differentiating political cultural artifact for these two iconic political figures who reside at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Evidence from the US House in the 103rd-105th Congress AU - Jeydel, A AU - Taylor, AJ T2 - POLITICAL RESEARCH QUARTERLY AB - We compare the ability of female and male members of the House of Representatives to turn policy preferences into law—something we label “legislative effectiveness.” The existing literature on women in American legislatures is opaque, with some scholars suggesting women are less effective than their male colleagues and others arguing they are just as effective. Utilizing data from the 103rd-105th Congresses—specifically, data on bill and amendment sponsorship and Stein and Bickers’ data on the distribution of federal domestic spending—we argue women House members are not demonstrably less effective than their male counterparts. Legislative effectiveness is the product of seniority, preferences, and membership in important House institutions.
