政治效能感研究:回顾与展望

Research on Political Efficacy:Review and Prospect

政治效能感是一种重要的政治态度,它日益受到学界广泛的重视。政治效能感一般分为内在政治效能感和外在政治效能感两个部分,可以从微观层次的个体社会人口学特征、政治行为、政治心理和媒体使用状况,以及宏观层次的政治环境等方面出发来溯源,并对政治参与、政治信任、政治支持和国家民主化程度等方面产生影响。后续研究应明确政治效能感测量具体指向对象、区分政治参与中选举参与和投票抉择与政治效能感的关系,进一步运用规范的实证研究方法对转型社会背景下民众的政治效能感问题进行更系统和完善的探讨。

The sense of political efficacy is an important political attitude,which has attracted wider attention in the academic circle.The political efficacy is generally divided into two dimensions:internal political efficacy and external political efficacy.It can be approached at a micro level from the following perspectives:such as individual demography,political behavior,political psychology and how media is used.It also can be explored at a macro level by focusing on political environment.At the same time,it will have an impact on the aspects of political participation,political trust,political support,the degree of national democratization and the like.Following studies should clarify the specific target of the measurement of political efficacy,distinguish the relationship between voting participation,voting results and political efficacy,and further use the normative empirical research methods to make a more systematic discussion on the issue of people's sense of political efficacy under the background of transforming society.
