TY - JOUR T1 - A Different Hue of the Gender Gap: Latino Immigrants and Political Conservatism in the United States JF - RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences SP - 98 LP - 124 DO - 10.7758/RSF.2016.2.3.06 VL - 2 IS - 3 AU - Katharine M.

We assess differences between Latino immigrant men and women in ideological ratings and consider two explanations for a different hue of the gender gap in political ideology. One emphasizes women's greater social conservatism compared with men; the second considers whether and how gender differences in political ideology shift with longer U.S. residence. We find that Latinas are more politically conservative than Latinos, net of other factors, and that relationships between different social issue predictors, or length of U.S. residence, and liberal-conservative self-identification are gendered.
