Research tool used in the study was a set of rating scale civic literacy measures with 36 items and reliability of .90. The statistics employed for data analysis were exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of civic literacy characteristics. Results of the study were as follows: 1) Results of exploratory factor analysis revealed that civic literacy characteristics comprised six components: collective responsibility, self-responsibility, respect the law and society’s regulation, political participation, respect the rights and freedom of others, and self-conduct. 2) Results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that civic literacy characteristics model was congruent with the empirical data ( 2= 643.997, df = 359, p = .050, TLI = 0.90, SRMR = 0.05 RMSEA = 0.045, 2/df = 1.793 and R2 = 0.7122). When considering the factor loadings of the six components with 29 variables, it was found that factor loading of every component was statistically significant at .01 level. The component with the highest factor loading was respect the law and society’s regulation followed by self–conduct, self-responsibility, collective responsibility, political participation, and respect the rights and freedom of others, respectively.</p> ER -
