Replication Data for: Magical Practices and the Recruitment of Women into Rebel Groups

Magical practices play a central role in the indoctrination and socialization processes of many rebel organizations. Qualitative scholarship has examined the central role that women play as practitioners of magic in some of these organizations. Some women are believed to have the powers to perform various rituals that help protect recipients, as well as enhance their fighting capabilities. Thus, groups that practice magic often incorporate women into logistical support roles because of the unique abilities that women are believed to possess in facilitating the use of magic. However, despite the relationship between magical practices and the incorporation of women that has been observed in various rebel groups, the burgeoning quantitative literature on the recruitment of women into armed movements has largely overlooked this association. To remedy this, we combine data on the magical practices of rebel organizations and their recruitment of women into logistical support roles to better understand this association. We find fairly strong evidence of a positive association between the use of magical practices and the recruitment of women into logistical support roles in rebel organizations.魔法实践在诸多反叛组织的教化与社会化进程中居于核心地位。定性研究已针对部分此类反叛组织中女性作为魔法实践者所发挥的核心作用展开探讨。部分女性被认为拥有施展各类仪式的能力，这些仪式既可庇护受护者，亦可提升其作战能力。因此，施行魔法的组织往往会将女性安排至后勤支援岗位，这是因为人们认为女性具备助力魔法施展的独特能力。然而，尽管诸多反叛组织中已观察到魔法实践与吸纳女性参与之间的关联，但针对武装运动中女性招募问题的新兴定量研究文献，却在很大程度上忽视了这一关联。为弥补这一研究短板，我们将反叛组织的魔法实践数据与其吸纳女性担任后勤支援岗位的招募数据相结合，以更深入地剖析这一关联。我们的研究发现，反叛组织的魔法实践与吸纳女性担任后勤支援岗位的招募行为之间存在显著的正向关联，相关证据较为充分。
