Summary
This study introduces a new dataset of nearly one million Norwegian parliamentary speeches from 1945-2024, enabling new social science research. The data facilitates studies on political representation, language evolution, and legislative behavior.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Political Science
- Computational Linguistics
Background:
- Advancements in computing and machine learning enable new empirical social science research.
- Previous research was limited by data availability and technical constraints.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce a novel, comprehensive dataset of Norwegian parliamentary debates (1945-2024).
- Facilitate empirical investigations into political representation and legislative behavior.
Main Methods:
- Digitization of parliamentary records.
- Creation of a high-dimensional dataset including speech text, metadata, and speaker characteristics.
- Utilizing machine learning for data analysis.
Main Results:
- A dataset of close to one million speeches with detailed information on speeches and speakers.
- Rich speaker background data including party affiliation, gender, and birth year.
- Enables analysis of political representation within a party-centered system.
Conclusions:
- The dataset is a vital resource for interdisciplinary research on political science, linguistics, and socio-economic factors.
- Opens new avenues for studying the evolution of language and rhetoric in legislative contexts.
- Supports in-depth analysis of factors influencing legislative behavior over time.

01:40Archival Research
15.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

01:09Censoring Survival Data
38
Survival analysis is a statistical method used to analyze time-to-event data, often employed in fields such as medicine, engineering, and social sciences. One of the key challenges in survival analysis is dealing with incomplete data, a phenomenon known as "censoring." Censoring occurs when the event of interest (such as death, relapse, or system failure) has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period or is otherwise unobservable, and it might have many different...

01:20¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)
944
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

03:26Framing Effects
7.3K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

2.5K
The two-way ANOVA is an extension of the one-way ANOVA. It is a statistical test performed on three or more samples categorized by two factors - a row factor and a column factor. Ronald Fischer mentioned it in 1925 in his book 'Statistical Methods for Researchers.'
The two-way ANOVA analysis initially begins by stating the null hypothesis that there is an interaction effect between the two factors of a dataset. This effect can be visualized using line segments formed by joining the...
