Abstract:

Using the 2000 National Election Study data, this study examines two interrelated relationships: (1) between knowledge about politics and levels of internal and external efficacy and (2) between communication behaviors and levels of internal and external efficacy. Findings of this study indicate that both knowledge about politics and communication behavior account for variance in internal and external efficacy with statistical significance. People who are knowledgeable about politics and who are engaged in various communication activities to obtain political information are more likely than others to have high levels of political efficacy. However, knowledge about politics and communication behaviors are related to internal and external efficacy with varying degrees. Both measures are found to be more closely related to internal than external efficacy.
