“…Flexibility and openness might be seen closely bound up, that could give rise to tolerance of dissimilar viewpoints through getting rid of the rigidity and searching a wider set of solutions in problem solving [19,20]. Thus, people having higher levels of openness and flexibility are more likely to show their support for democracy [3,[20][21][22].…”

This article explores the link between psycho-social factors (empathy, flexibility, perspective taking, egalitarian sex role, normative identity style, interpersonal trust, openness, suggestibility, prosocial behaviour, and right-wing authoritarianism) and democratic values in Chinese young and older groups. Also, it examines the differences on these variables across generation and gender. The set of measures underwent 'translation and back-translation' procedure in order to provide the Chinese versions. The sample included 400 Chinese university students (young generation: 18-25 years) and 333 Chinese older participants (45-60 years). The results show that most of the psycho-social characteristics are correlated with adherence to democratic values in both Chinese young and older groups. Also, egalitarian sex role was found to predict adherence to democratic values in both groups. Moreover, there were generation and gender differences on most of the variables. It will be discussed that how Chinese cultural background and the reform of Chinese policies in the recent decades potentially laid a foundation for the observed differences between Chinese young and older generations.

Party System Changes and Challenges to Democracy

In a search for the link between parties and democracy, several strands of literature are analysed: early liberal thought, empirical liberalism literature and literature on illiberalism and a variety of post-World War II democratic ideals at the national, international and global levels. Political parties are found neither in early liberal thought nor in the many streams of the recent literature on forms of governing. Nevertheless, the real-life emergence and functioning of parties has put pressure on the literature on governing, within the fields of political thought and political science, to respond to their empirical existence.
