Formation of the participant type of political culture of Ukrainian youth

Abstract

The authors analyze theoretical foundations of political culture and elucidate its typology. This paper provides an insight into the characteristic aspects of the combination of pure types of political culture and the formation of mixed forms. The focus is on the participant type, without the developed features of which it is impossible to form a mixed-type political culture, the so-called civic culture. By using empirical data, the level of youth's attitudes towards politics is determined and the prospects for forming an activist type of political culture are outlined.
