Abstract

Cohort analysis allows systematic analysis of change in civil rights voting in terms of age, period, and cohort effects. Cohort analysis requires measurements of longitudinal, corss-sectional, and time-lag differences among members of Congress. While offering support for the generational replacement hypothesis, this research suggests that period effects, events in the congressional environment, are important to our understanding of change in civil rights over time.
