C.1 OPINION LEADERSHIP INDEX
Cognitive Mobilisation Index 1
(en)
-
Derivation:
This index is based on the answers to the following two questions: "When you, yourself hold a strong opinion, do you ever find yourself persuading your friends, relatives or fellow workers to share your views? If so, does this happen often, from time to time or rarely?" (Q.4) and "When you get together with your friends, would you say you discuss political matters frequently, occasionally or never?" (Q.3). Interviewees giving affirmative answers to both questions are labelled + +. Interviewees giving negative answers to both questions are labelled - -. Middle categories (+ and -) are constituted correspondingly.
This variable forms an indicator of the individual's potential to take an active role in the political process. For a complete discussion of this variable and its correlates see Ronald Inglehart, The Silent Revolution: Changing Values and Political Styles among Western Publics (Princeton University Press, 1977).
