Title: "The Good Citizen" As Viewed by Israeli Adolescents
Abstract: The concept citizenship is probably one of most complex political concepts. In its narrow sense it usually refers to an individual's attitudes, evaluations, and behavior toward political objects. In other words, it expresses individual's familiarity with political system, his internalization of basic values of political culture, and his conception of himself in relationship to system. In its broader sense, concept includes relationships to objects that are not necessarily political in nature. Citizenship can refer to whole of an individual's obligations to his fellow men and to society in which he lives.' It includes, for example, his relationship to his family and place of work as well as to political figures. With respect to political figures, individual relates not to role performance alone but also to such general characteristics as honesty, tolerance, and fairness. This study treats concept of citizenship in its broader sense and has a twofold purpose: first, to propose a model based upon Guttman's facet theory for conceptual analysis of role and second, to examine concept of the good citizen as perceived by Israeli adolescents.2
