Replication Data for: Public Opinion and Alliance Commitments in Cybersecurity: An Attack Against All?
No full textCyber operations as a facet of international competition pose a direct challenge to alliances. Designed to respond to conventional military attacks, alliances like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization must now determine how their defensive commitments translate into the digital domain. This question is not limited to political and military elites, as the use of force in defense of allies is among the most politically charged decisions a state can make and relies significantly on public support. This article extends recent public opinion literature on cyber conflict to investigate public attitudes toward existing treaty commitments following a destructive cyber operation against an allied state. Using a survey experiment involving U.S. nationals, we find that while participants are sensitive to treaty obligations, these effects are moderated by individual factors like domain expertise. Furthermore, we observe that specific aggressor-ally dyads tied to geographic regions can shape public preferences, with participants being more reactive to Europe-based scenarios than comparable treatments in Asia

Replication Data for: How Gap Measures Determine Results: The Case of Proportional Systems and the Gender Mobilization Gap.
No full textHow scholars conceptualize and measure gender gap in mobilization can have profound consequences for substantive conclusions. Scholars typically refer to a difference between women's and men's turnout (difference-in-proportions measure) or a fraction of women voters among all voters (proportion measure). Using the case of proportional representation (PR) reform in Norway, I demonstrate that, in a context of low men's turnout, the proportion measure indicates that PR narrows the gap, whilst the difference-in-proportion measure indicates that it widens the gap. This is because mobilizing fewer women than men widens the difference between women's and men's turnout, but may constitute a greater proportional increase in women's mobilization compared to men's when only few men (and even fewer women) vote. These findings bring together seemingly opposing arguments in the PR-gap debate and have wide implications for the study of `gaps' within and beyond gender scholarship

Replication Data for: What Men Want: Parties' Strategic Engagement with Gender Quotas

Abstract: Women's under-representation, particularly in political leadership, remains an important issue globally. Tunisia's 2018 municipal elections included the adoption of strict gender quotas that resulted in near-parity of male and female elected councilors. Despite this achievement for descriptive representation, fewer than 20 percent of mayors---selected from among elected list-heads---were women. We argue that this gender gap in council leadership is the result of parties’ strategic engagement with the quota laws. Using election data, an original survey of candidates, and interviews, we demonstrate that parties systematically placed female-headed lists in their weakest districts, placing female candidates at a disadvantage during the mayoral selection process. We provide evidence that these behaviors were motivated by a strategy to avoid "displacing" men in established political networks. This research highlights the role that party elites play in maintaining the existing political bargain at the expense of underrepresented groups, even where strict quotas are adopted

Replication Data for: Citations to the Publications of Male and Female Political Scientists
No full textMuch prior research finds women earn fewer citations than men for their publications and offers various reasons why that is the case. We offer new evidence on such citation differences from two data sets on career citations earned by male and female political scientists. Our findings extend and elaborate those in earlier research. Most notably, we find that older cohorts of women demonstrate substantial progress toward citation equity with their male peers
COMPREHENSIVE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT: STRATEGIES FOR IELTS SUCCESS
No full textThis research is presented in the format of journal contribution. It presents an examination of language proficiency trends among 1000 Thai English language students engaged in IELTS preparation in 2023, offering valuable insights into key areas of improvement. The survey encompassed various language skills, including vocabulary mastery, listening and speaking proficiency, and grammar skills. Findings indicate that 45% of students fall within the intermediate proficiency level, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions for both beginners (20%) and those already proficient (35%). The study identified a balanced distribution in vocabulary proficiency, with 50% demonstrating moderate skills, 28% exhibiting high proficiency, and 22% at a basic level. Listening skills showcase a positive trend, with 60% demonstrating good to excellent proficiency, while 40% need further improvement.
Speaking proficiency revealed that 45% of students are competent, indicating a substantial foundation, while 30% are in the developing stage, highlighting opportunities for growth. Grammar skills vary, with 40% deemed competent, 25% possessing a strong command, 25% in the developing stage, and 10% at a basic level. Regarding study resource utilization, 60% favor language apps, emphasizing the digital shift in learning, and 35% opt for online courses. Weekly study hours show a promising commitment, with 40% dedicating 6-10 hours and 30% investing 11-15 hours per week.
These findings underscore the importance of tailoring language programs to address proficiency gaps, emphasizing digital resources, and promoting a balanced allocation of study hours for comprehensive IELTS preparation. The study provides educators and institutions with valuable insights to optimize language learning strategies and foster greater success among IELTS candidates
