Political Competence, Political Trust, and Action Orientations of University Students

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Compared to mass publics in other nations, a relatively large number of Americans believe that they are politically competent—that they are able to influence political affairs. And yet, over the past several years we have witnessed the estrangement of substantial portions of the American citizenry from the political system—an estrangement accompanied by an increase in popular distrust of government.
