Political sophistication: contributions to the evaluation of its two-dimensionality
Evaluación de la Sofisticación política bidimensional
Abstract
Political Sophistication is frequently analyzed in the scientific literature on political behavior. However, variations in its conceptualization and measurement are recognized, and the use of instruments that assume a multidimensional approach is rare. Therefore, we carried out an instrumental study considering two cognitive dimensions (Differentiation and Conceptual Integration), innovating in the measurement of the first and integrating techniques (association of words and categorization of arguments) in the second. The analyzes of the internal structure, reliability and relationship between dimensions show the potential of the instrument to be used in different contexts, facilitating the integration and comparison of data both on a national and international scale.
