The purpose of the dataset is to study the effect of gender balance in legislative committees on perceptions of the legitimacy of the committee's decisions. We aimed to interview samples of Jordanian, Tunisian, and Moroccan citizens over the phone. Participants were randomly recruited from phone registers, but as with all phone surveys, the sample cannot be said to be fully nationally representative. The sample sizes were about 3200 in Jordan, 1600 in Tunisia, and 1600 in Morocco which was confirmed to be a large enough sample to power our survey experiment.
