The Ties That Double Bind: Social Roles and Women's Underrepresentation in Politics (2018, unknown): “These questions have been of perennial concern to gender scholars, but there is a growing consensus that the majority of American voters are willing to support women’s bids for high political office (Dolan 2014; Sanbonmatsu 2002; Carroll and Sanbonmatsu 2013; cf. Streb et al. 2008; Brooks 2013).”
Field Experiments on Discrimination (2016, background): “However, list randomization revealed much more opposition towards the idea of a female president than opinion polls (Streb et al., 2008).”
National Culture and Social Desirability Bias in Measuring Public Service Motivation (2016, methodology): “The rationale for the selection of these two demographic variables was that existing studies on SDB consistently emphasize their importance in socially desirable responding (Gonzalez-Ocantos et al., 2012; Kuklinski et al., 1997; Sniderman & Carmines, 1997; Streb et al., 2008).”
What Can We Learn with Statistical Truth Serum?Design and Analysis of the List Experiment (2013, methodology): “For example, Streb et al. (2008) used 2,056 observations in their study to achieve only a 5% standard error.”

Using the Predicted Responses from List Experiments as Explanatory Variables in Regression Models (2015, background): “…undesirable attitudes such as prejudice concerning race, religion, and gender (e.g., Kuklinski, Cobb, and Gilens 1997; Kane, Craig, and Wald 2004; Streb et al. 2008), and illicit conduct such as voter fraud and vote-buying (e.g., Corstange 2012b; Gonzalez-Ocantos et al. 2012; Ahlquist, Mayer,…”
Saving Face: Identifying Voter Responses to Black Candidates and Female Candidates (2016, methodology): “27)—and possibly underestimation of opposition to female candidates as well (Streb et al., 2008).”
Statistical Analysis of List Experiments (2012, background): “…et al. 1997b; Sniderman and Carmines 1997; Gilens, Sniderman, and Kuklinski 1998; Kane, Craig, and Wald 2004; Tsuchiya, Hirai, and Ono 2007; Streb et al. 2008; Corstange 2009; Flavin and Keane 2009; Glynn 2010; Gonzalez-Ocantos et al.
