Civic Culture Study, 1959-1960

This study was based on crossnational surveys conducted in
five countries -- Germany, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. Information was obtained from 955 respondents in
Germany, 995 respondents in Italy, 1,008 respondents in
Mexico, 963 respondents in the United Kingdom, and 970
respondents in the United States. The interviews focused on the
respondents' basic political attitudes with emphasis on political
partisanship, political socialization, and attitudes toward specific
institutions as well as the political system and culture as a
whole. Specific information was collected on respondents' political
awareness and feelings of political efficacy and attitudes toward
bureaucracy, police, political parties, campaigning, and various
levels of government, as well as toward institutions such as school,
family, and place of work. The number and types of organizations to
which the respondents belonged were also recorded. Demographic data
cover age, sex, race, marital status, number of children, religious
preference, income, and socioeconomic status.
