From a theoretical perspective, there are a number of factors that affect citizen participation. On an individual level, besides demographic variables such as gender, age, and education, one of the main factors is citizen consciousness. This paper looks into how the concept of citizen consciousness plays a role in citizen participation by examining a nationwide telephone interview survey. Different from traditional political participation, the concept of citizen participation includes policy participation and social participation in this study. Citizen consciousness is defined as anti-authoritarianism. The findings showed that citizen consciousness has positive impact on participation in civic associations, philanthropic behavior, policy participation, and overall citizen participation. In addition, demographic variables also have some impact on citizen participation. |
