Är deskriptiv representation även en substantiell sådan? En kvantitativ studie av representationernas samband
(2019) STVK02 20182Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- The relation between the descriptive and substantive representation has since its beginning
been thought to be of the correlated kind, that having the former would also implicate having
the latter - at least to some extent. What research has shown us is that the nature of the relation
is not as straightforward as we once thought. Former studies on the subject has come to
contrarious conclusions, pointing to answers in different directions, thus being ambiguous.
By adopting commonly used methodology on the field this study aims to contribute by
using the new measurement for descriptive representation - Gender Power Score. Paired with
variables drawn from former literature, the ambition is to through multiple regression analysis

By adopting commonly used methodology on the field this study aims to contribute by
using the new measurement for descriptive representation - Gender Power Score. Paired with
variables drawn from former literature, the ambition is to through multiple regression analysis
try to capture the essence of this relationship.
The result of this study showed that only one of the independent variables proved to be
significant and could therefore not establish whether a true correlation between the descriptive
and the substantive exists.
What is to be drawn from this is the need for extended research on the subject,
replicating the method of this study to further evaluate the relationship between the
representations, but also the applicability of the Gender Power Score as a tool for measurement. (Less)
