| The issue of representativeness was of little significance because of my predominantly qualitative and narrative research approach. |
| For example, new employees frequently are judged with respect to their representativeness of previously selected employees. |
| Accountability: If the representativeness of civil society is sometimes open to question, the accountability of its leaders is also problematic. |
| This may be due to a representativeness heuristic: a tendency to treat events as representative of some well-known class or pattern. |
| A different view equates representativeness with typicalness: Representativeness and uniqueness can be the extremes of a spectrum. |
| What is obvious is that, despite this rainbow of representativeness, one notable absence was the working-class, white male. |
