“…Indeed, research on civic self-efficacy has found that individuals with high levels of civic self-efficacy also have higher levels of civic participation (Gastil & Xenos, 2010;Quintelier & Van Deth, 2014). For example, Andolina, Jenkins, Zukin and Keeter (2003) found that college students who believed they could make a difference in society were more likely to vote, follow news about politics, and works on problems in their community.…”

There is increasing concern about the large civic engagement gap between Whites and Latina/o and African American youth. Some suggest this may be because traditional models and measures of civic engagement may not be as applicable for youth from historically marginalized groups. With an urban sample of middle and high school-age youth (n = 903, 52% female), we used structural equation modeling to identify differences in civic pathways between youth from different racial/ ethnic backgrounds. We found significant differences between groups including much stronger relationships between exposure to democratic practices and civic selfefficacy and knowledge for African American and Latina/o youth than for White youth and a stronger relationship between civic knowledge and future civic engagement for Whites and Latina/os than for African Americans. These findings suggest that educators and researchers interested need to take into account the diversity of youths' racial experiences when examining youth civic development.

“…Frequent civic discourse with parents appears to increase adolescents' levels of civic knowledge and engagement (Andolina, Jenkins, Zukin, & Keeter, 2003;Hart, Atkins, Markey, & Youniss, 2004;McIntosh et al, 2007). Through the modelling effect of parents' civic behaviours at home, e.g., discussion of political and social issues, young people unveil their earliest civic life (Hart et al, 2004;Wilkenfeld, 2009).…”

This study identifies predictors of Hong Kong students' civic learning. It has adopted a cross-sectional quantitative design using secondary data from the 2009 International Civics and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2009;Schulz et al., 2010). Multi-level analysis reveals that most of the variance in student achievement can be accounted for by school level rather than individual level factors. Student background variables are largely insignificant suggesting the resilience of many Hong Kong students. Regarding Hong Kong students' achievements in civic learning, a possible explanation is made and implications are developed for both theory and practice.

“…For example, a person is not born an engaged citizen. He becomes one through both the influence of power relations such as familial civic traditions (Andolina, Jenkins, Zukin, & Keeter, 2003) and civic education at school (Galston, 2007), as well as through internalizing civic values on his own.…”

Rethinking civic computing in China

Civic computing research is concerned with the relationship of digital technologies to civic participation. We discuss Foucault’s work on the care of the self which considers how a person seeks a certain mode of being such as happiness, perfection, or wisdom. We describe our qualitative study of Chinese mainland citizens who used technologies to understand and participate in political events, in particular the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement. We examine how care of the self offers an alternative, critical perspective for rethinking civic participation and civic computing.
