Description
Definition
The Civic Engagement Index assesses respondents' inclination to volunteer their time and assistance to others. It is designed to measure a respondent's commitment to the community where he or she lives.
The Civic Engagement Index is strongly correlated with community-focused Gallup Worldwide Research indexes: Community Institutions, Job Climate, and measures of wellbeing. Externally, the Civic Engagement Index is linked to measures of the economic environment such as per-capita GDP (PPP) and long-term unemployment, as well as measures that are indicative of a wealthier community such as information and technology expenditure and healthcare expenditures. Also of interest are the relationships between this index and measures of economic equality.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- Have you done any of the following in the past month? How about donated money to a charity? (WP108)
- Have you done any of the following in the past month? How about volunteered your time to an organization? (WP109)
- Have you done any of the following in the past month? How about helped a stranger or someone you didn't know who needed help? (WP110)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The three items are recoded so that positive (or favorable) answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are assigned a score of "0." If a record has no answer for an item, then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has scores for at least two items (0 or 1). A record's final index score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Civic Engagement Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .81 when aggregated at the country level.
