Abstract

Data were compiled from 1003 Asian Americans participating in the 2016 National Asian American Survey (NAAS). The study found a difference between males and females in political participation activities: contributing money to a candidate, political party, or campaign and discussing politics with family and friends. More males contributed money to a candidate, political party, or campaign (11.9% vs. 7.0%) and discussed politics with family and friends (50.5% vs. 42.3%) than females. The study found a difference between males and females in the following civic participation activities: working with others in their community to solve a problem, signing a petition in person, and signing an online or email petition. More males worked with others in their community to solve a problem (50.5% vs. 42.3%), signed a petition (15.4% vs. 10.3%), and signed an online or email petition (6.8% vs. 3.7%) than females. Women with higher income were 42.1% more likely to participate in political activities (OR = 1.421;p < 0.005) than women with lower income. Men with higher incomes were 31% more likely to participate in political activities (OR = 1.312;p < 0.001) than men with lower incomes.
