Gender system and corruption: Patriarchy as a predictor of “fairness”
利用世界价值观调查数据,研究发现接受父权制与接受腐败之间存在显著关联,且性别体系比性别本身更能预测腐败态度。
Abstract This article tests gender system as a mediator in the relationship between gender and corruption. Using data from World Values Survey we find a robust, significant link between acceptance of patriarchy and acceptance of corruption. We also find a significant link between acceptance of male superiority and acceptance of corruption. In the relationship between gender and attitudes toward corruption, gender system is a consistently statistically significant predictor of acceptance of corruption whereas gender is not. The predictive power of acceptance of patriarchy and male superiority on corruption holds even with extensive controls. These results provide insight into the link between gender and corruption and suggest some of the wide‐ranging effects of gender system on the political system.
