Mapping students' civic identity and its link to civic engagement [Elektronski vir]Lep, Žan ...Strong civic identity (CI), which refers to one's beliefs about his/her membership and engagement in the community, was proposed as an important predictor of civic engagement. In light of declining ... civic engagement among youth, empirical evidence on the respective links, especially from Europe, is lacking. We thus aimed to explore CI saliency and its relations to demographic characteristics, and establish their role in university students' civic engagement by means of regression analysis. The participants reported on their background features and civic engagement, and responded to a newly developed Multifactor Civic Identity Scale. The scale measures CI saliency across four subdomains, i.e. civic involvement, duties, rights, and membership. The CI scores showed great variability, but were largely independent of students' demographics. Higher CI saliency was linked to all measures of civic engagement (number and mean regularity of engagement in civic activities, and hours of community engagement). This suggests students are not alienated, even if civically inactive. As CI is far from mirrored in behaviour, further scholarly interest should focus on identifying factors influencing its behavioral manifestation. Even though our sample was demographically relatively homogenous, further research should look beyond demographics (and university students) to identify factors of CI development.Source: Proceedings of the XXVI Scientific conference Empirical studies in psychology, October 15th-18st, 2020, Faculty of psychology, University of Belgrade [Elektronski vir] (Str. 113-116)Type of material - conference contribution ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2020Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 69682435
