“…As a whole, these findings reflect young people’s interests in joining organizations whose aims are closer to their civic aspirations (Martínez et al, 2010), and are consistent with those of studies in developed countries showing similar increases in civic engagement (Ekman & Amnå, 2012; C. Flanagan & Levine, 2010; Zukin, Keeter, Andolina, Jenkins, & Carpini, 2006).…”

Quality of Participation in Youth Organizations: Relationships With Identity and Sense of Sociopolitical Control

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Through a cross-sectional design, this study examines whether practices of active participation (AP; that is, opportunities for decision making and leadership) and quality of relationships (QR) established between members of youth organizations (i.e., affective and instrumental support) relate to dimensions of youth`s identity (i.e., personal purpose, personal meaning) and sense of sociopolitical control (i.e., leadership, political efficacy). Participants (n = 347; 17-26 years) were drawn from 38 youth organizations in two regions of Chile. Results from multiple regression models controlling for demographics, length of involvement, and aim of the organization yielded significant interactions between QR and practices of AP on both indicators of identity and political efficacy. Only length of involvement in the organization was related to leadership outcomes. Findings highlight the powerful effects of the quality of the relational context of youth programs and organizations to actualize the benefits of AP.

“…Education about self-governance refers to teaching the general public they have a duty to participate, that their participation counts, and they have some control over their political destiny by participating in the process. Sharoni's (2012) conceptualization that education about self-governance in a nonpolitical environment is a form of political socialization, which leads to a sense of increased internal efficacy, is supported by the literature (Kahne, Crow, & Lee, 2013; Schlozman et al., 2012; Zukin et al., 2006). Specifically, higher education, higher SES, older age (>65 years), race (White), and gender (male) are predictive of a higher sense of political efficacy (Schlozman et al., 2012; Zukin et al., 2006).…”

“…Historically, younger voters report feeling isolated or excluded, as political parties have been reluctant to engage and represent their interests (Zukin, Keeter, Andolina, Jenkins, & Carpini, 2006; Henn & Foard 2012). Recent studies report increased interest among younger voters, with 18 to 24 years olds casting 19.9% of ballots in the 2014 election (Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, 2016).…”

Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice

Twenty-eight states have laws and regulations limiting the ability of nurse practitioners (NPs) to practice to the full extent of their education and training, thereby preventing patients from fully accessing NP services. Revisions to state laws and regulations require NPs to engage in the political process. Understanding the political engagement of NPs may facilitate the efforts of nurse leaders and nursing organizations to promote change in state rules and regulations. The purpose of this study was to describe the political efficacy and political participation of U.S. NPs and gain insight into factors associated with political interest and engagement. In the fall of 2015, we mailed a survey to 2,020 NPs randomly chosen from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners' database and 632 responded (31% response rate). Participants completed the Trust in Government (external political efficacy) and the Political Efficacy (internal political efficacy) scales, and a demographic form. Overall, NPs have low political efficacy. Older age ( p≤.001), health policy mentoring ( p≤.001), and specific education on health policy ( p≤.001) were all positively associated with internal political efficacy and political participation. External political efficacy was not significantly associated with any of the study variables. Political activities of NPs are largely limited to voting and contacting legislators. Identifying factors that engage NPs in grassroots political activities and the broader political arena is warranted, particularly with current initiatives to make changes to state laws and regulations that limit their practice.

“…At present, the list of citizen participation activities is very extensive; the most common items include voting, party membership, protest, boycotting, contacting media, contacting authorities, political discussions, volunteering, donation, and community group membership. Based on these diverse activities, scholars interpellate available conceptual models of citizenship to generate newer taxonomies (Fox, 2014; Reichert, 2016; Theocharis & van Deth, 2016; Zukin, Keeter, Andolina, Jenkins, & Carpini, 2006) that take account of these different forms of citizen participation. These include conventional political participation, formal political participation, unconventional political participation, political protest, public voice, contentious politics, creative participation, consumerism participation, civic engagement, and social participation and/or community participation (Micheletti & McFarland, 2015; Putnam, 2001; Schulz, Ainley, Fraillon, Losito, & Agrusti, 2016; Stolle, Hooghe, & Micheletti, 2005; Stolle & Micheletti, 2013; van Deth, 2001, 2014; Verba, Nie, & Kim, 1978).…”

“…In addressing the challenges of defining and studying participation, some scholars have adopted a broader perspective, using conceptual frameworks that look beyond the use of voting or party membership as key indicators (Ekman & Amnå, 2012; Hoskins, 2006; Hoskins, Janmaat, & Villalba, 2012; Hoskins, Villalba, & Saisana, 2012; Norris, 2011; Theocharis & van Deth, 2016; Topf, 1998; Zukin et al, 2006). In pursuing a minimal version of forms of participation on the basis of the extant literature, two major groups can be identified: those that include the term “political,” and those labeled “civil,” “social,” or “community.” Here, we will argue that one way of grouping these within a single framework is to combine definitions that distinguish between traditional political participation and other types into a wider concept of citizen participation .…”

Young Citizens Participation

A growing body of literature from different disciplines addresses concepts and measurement of citizenship. The present article seeks to contribute to this field by examining the issue of youth citizenship from a comparative international perspective and proposing a simplified conceptual model that can be operationalized. This model includes a community dimension, which refers to individual’s relationship with their community associations, and a civic dimension, concerning institutional processes such as voting and/or political activism. The model was tested using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and measurement equivalence for eighth-grade students ( n = 139.875) across 38 countries that participated in the International Civic and Citizenship Study (2009). Our results find support for the proposed conceptual model and its invariance across countries, and we discuss the implications for theory and further research.
