Political Knowledge Scale 政治知识量表（Shaker，2009）

简介

政治知识（Political Knowledge）在一定程度上取决于获取到的关于政府行为的信息和政治家的立场等等。地方媒体在塑造公民以及促进公民与社区之间的相互作用方面发挥了重要作用，然而，媒体、政治学习和政治知识之间的联系并不明确。

Shaker（2009）探讨两个问题：当地政治知识在整个人口中的分布以及公民的媒体访问与政治知识水平的关系。

信度与效度

Shaker（2009）研究所使用的数据来源于纽约市SRBI对1001位费城居民的随机数字拨号（RDD）调查数据，调查是在费城市长选举后的11月7日至21日进行，调查回复率为21.6%。结果表明，国家政治知识和地方政治知识量表的内部一致性系数分别为0.74和0.77。
