%X The current study aims at investigating the parameters that affected the presence of women ‎political elites during period from the first to tenth parliamentary terms of the Islamic ‎Consultative Assembly of Iran. This study's method is a combination of quantitative and ‎qualitative methods so that, with regard to the qualitative aspect, the necessary resources were ‎collected through library, document analysis, and interview methods, and with regard to the ‎quantitative aspect, demographic and statistical data of women members of the first to the tenth ‎parliamentary terms were separately investigated and analyzed using various diagrams. Then, ‎for a better comparison and analysis, we made data of, and coded, all of these parameters using ‎the quantitative statistical method, and showed the frequency and percentage in form of charts ‎using Excel software. The conceptual model of this study is based on Parsons’ Value System ‎Theory. The findings indicate that relational positional factors and circumstances (such as age, ‎gender, class, birthplace, etc.) and acquisitive ones (such as education, job position, political ‎orientation and party, etc.), as well as the way these factors influenced, based on value ‎parameters of wealth, power, influence, and commitment, influenced women representatives' ‎presence in ten terms of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran quantitatively and ‎qualitatively so the factor of class and family base (among the relational factors and ‎circumstances) and the factor of job position (among the acquisitive factors) are the most ‎important ones due to their relation with all four important value parameters (i.e. wealth, ‎power, influence, and commitment)‎.
