文摘

This article compares trust, political activeness, and associational participation of lower secondary students in 22 countries all over the world representing different political and welfare regimes. The analyses are based on the ICCS 2009 survey. Comparison between the countries shows that the level of trust and political activeness/level of association participation of 8th graders correlate negatively with each other whereas in adult populations the correlation is positive. The level of political and associational activeness was highest in the Dominican Republic, Thailand and Paraguay, and the lowest in Finland, Taiwan, Sweden, and Denmark. Moreover, young people in the Nordic countries are less interested in political and societal issues even though the level of their civic knowledge is highest of all the countries. Nordic 8th graders have a very high level of trust in other people and in institutions. Differences in the level and type of welfare state (especially the level of children’s welfare and their educational rights) are probably the most important social factors in the explanation of national differences. High level of child welfare tends to increase the level of 8th graders-trust but decrease their association activeness. Bourdieu’s theoretical repertoire (especially the concept of the causality of the probable) was adopted in the interpretation of the differences in trust and political cum associational activeness between countries included in the analysis.
