Description
Definition
The National Institutions Index reflects citizens' confidence in key institutions prominent in a country's leadership: the military, the judicial system, the national government, and the honesty of elections.
When the relationships of the National Institutions Index to other Gallup Worldwide Research indexes are examined, it gives insight into the aspects of life for which people hold national institutions responsible. Correlation analysis indicates strong relationships between the National Institutions Index and Community Basics, Law and Order, Financial Wellbeing, Youth Development, and Corruption. These relationships suggest there are gains to be made in understanding the formation of attitudes about national institutions through understanding perceptions of these more functionally oriented indexes. In other words, if one desires to know how public attitudes are formed concerning confidence in national institutions, then it would be fruitful to focus on the perceived performance on indexes of a more basic nature.
The National Institutions Index is related to measures of wealth: World Bank per-capita GDP (PPP), information and communication expenditures, and health expenditures per capita.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- Do you have confidence in each of the following, or not? How about the military? (WP137)
- Do you have confidence in each of the following, or not? How about the judicial system and courts? (WP138)
- Do you have confidence in each of the following, or not? How about the national government? (WP139)
- Do you have confidence in each of the following, or not? How about honesty of elections? (WP144)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The four items are recoded so that positive 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 valid scores for at least three questions. 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 National Institutions Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .87 when aggregated at the country level.
