This article shows how cross-national and temporal variations in PRRPs{\textquoteright} electoral success interact with individuals{\textquoteright} risk propensity to affect this gender gap. We hypothesize that gender differences in the electoral support of PRRPs stem from disparities in risk-taking. We conceptualize risk in terms of two components, social and electoral, and demonstrate that women are more risk-averse regarding both. Our analysis is based on public opinion data from 14 countries (2002{\textendash}16) combined with macrolevel data on PRRPs{\textquoteright} past parliamentary fortunes. To distinguish between the social and electoral components in risk-taking, we use the illustrative case study of Germany. Findings demonstrate that gender differences in risk-taking and, by implication, the differences between women{\textquoteright}s and men{\textquoteright}s responses to the electoral context are key to understanding the voting gender gap.},
