Political efficacy

In political science, political efficacy is the citizens' trust in their ability to change the government and belief that they can understand and influence political affairs. It is commonly measured by surveys and is used as an indicator for the broader health of civil society.

It is closely related to political responsiveness, the degree to which politicians and policymakers actually do respond to voters' beliefs and preferences.
