Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term that describes the attitude that individuals can have an impact on political decisions and that government is responsive to what people want is political efficacy. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. A is incorrect because awareness is a term that refers to an individual's level of knowledge or consciousness about a particular issue. Trust (option B) is the belief that someone or something is reliable, truthful, and able to do what they claim to do, and although it may be related to efficacy, it is not the same thing. Deference (option C) is the act of yielding to the wishes, judgment or opinion of someone else, especially because they have authority, experience, or knowledge that we do not have. Again, while related, it is not the same as political efficacy.
