Study title

This data deposit contains cross sectional survey data, organised by the FWO/FNRS Excellence of Science Consortium RepResent (Representation and Democratic Resentment) in Fall 2021 amongst adult citizens in Belgium's two largest regions (Flanders and Wallonia). The RepResent project aims to understand how three forms of representations - substantive, procedural and symbolic - affect democratic resentment amongst the public. It brings together scholars from five Belgian universities, including University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, KU Leuven, UCLouvain, and Université Libre de Bruxelles.
