- 요약This dissertation examines how legislators adopt attitudes toward women and how those attitudes are articulated in policymaking discourse. Early research assumed that increasing women's representation would lead to more gender-egalitarian legislation, as women legislators were believed to share similar worldviews and policy priorities. However, later studies revealed that this relationship is more complex. Gender is just one of several factors shaping legislators' worldviews and their advocacy for women-related policies. Additionally, individuals in male-dominated professions are influenced by dominant masculine cultures that reinforce traditional views of gender roles. These studies often position gender ideology as a mediating factor linking legislators' background characteristics (e.g., age, education, and work experience) to their perceptions of the importance of women-related legislation and how it should be designed to advance women's interests. However, how gender ideology - whether shaped by cultural traditions, institutional, or professional experiences - is expressed in legislative discourse remains underexplored.To fill this gap, this dissertation analyzes a corpus of legislators' speeches on women-related policies in Israel and Taiwan from 1990 to 2022. First, it operationalizes gender ideology via four value discourses - patriarchal, matriarchal, egalitarian, and development - and develops a systematic scheme to measure their occurrence in legislative discussions. Israel and Taiwan are relevant cases for examining how people use matriarchal and development discourses. Both societies, often described as collectivist and traditional, provide contexts where women's empowerment is promoted not only through egalitarian discourses but also through matriarchal or development-oriented ones. Second, the dissertation examines how legislators' characteristics - particularly educational and professional backgrounds - influence their use of these value discourses.The analysis reveals that older age, longer political tenure, and right-wing party affiliation tend to be associated with more expression of patriarchal orientations. Educational and professional backgrounds in business and STEM/health fields closely correlate with expression of development values. Patriarchal values remain prominent in discussions of family policy. Gender shows no significant association with the use of egalitarian values. These findings highlight that advancing gender-egalitarian ideals requires substantive cultural and institutional transformations rather than merely increasing women's numerical representation.
