Almond and Verba classify political culture into three types. Select the correct answer from the following :

  • A.Parochial, Subject and Participant
  • B.Participant, Active and Civic
  • C.Local, Regional and National
  • D.Parochial, Regional and Universal

Answer: A

The three types are Parochial, Subject and Participant.

In The Civic Culture (1963), Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba classified political cultures by citizens' orientations to politics. In a parochial culture people have little awareness of the national political system, in a subject culture they are aware of it but passive, and in a participant culture they see themselves as active participants. The civic culture is a mixture of the three.

The other triads mix in terms such as 'active', 'regional' or 'universal' that are not part of their typology.
