“…Given the lack of an appropriate question to gauge the communal aspect of such an orientation, we instead used an internal political efficacy question as a proxy. Indeed, internal political efficacy has been shown to play a positive role in protests (Gallego and Oberski 2012;Pollock III 1983) by increasing resilience to failure, providing political motivation, and reducing anxiety (Bandura 1995). In addition, we control for political ideology as a key explanation for protest behavior (Opp, Finkel, Muller, Wolfsfeld, Dietz, and Green 1995).…”

“…It seems therefore that the personality provides a kind of substrate for the development of cognitive skills relating to politics. As Gallego and Oberski (2012) assert, the evidence points to a relation that suggest a model of funnelled causality in which factors shaped in the past influence the manifestation of characteristics or attitudes developed more recently and the latter condition present-day behaviour. Due to their largely genetic bases (YAMAGATA et al, 2006), personality traits constitute a prior component, a base that conditions -in association with environmental and social factors -the development of characteristics and the acquisition of skills important for political activism.…”
