Summary
Nors individo socialinis statusas savaime nëra politinio dalyvavimo prieþastis, socioekonominis modelis ið dalies paaiðkina individø politinio dalyvavimo tendencijas [33:198]. Ðios savybës nustato ar asmuo savo tarpasmeniniø ryðiø dëka susijæs su visa aplinka (silpni ryðiai) ar tik su tam tikra socialinës aplinkos dalimi (maþos grupës su stipriais ryðiais). Jei vienas ið dviejø individø, turinèiø vienodas socio-ekonominio statuso savybes, dalyvauja politinëje veikloje, o kitas nedalyvauja, galima daryti iðvadà, kad ðiuos individus veikia skirtingos socialinës aplinkos. J.J. Modak ir A.F. Gearing tvirtina, kad nors tam tikroms politinio dalyvavimo formoms socialinë sàveika nëra bûtina, socialinë aplinka vaidina esminá vaidmená masinëje politikoje, nes þmonës, kurie daþniau vienas su kitu svarsto politines ir socialines problemas, turi labiau iðvystytà bendruomenës gerovës suvokimà [22:616]. Duch ir Tedin nurodo, kad silpni tarpusavio ryðiai gali ypaè efektyviai perduoti naujà informacijà apie ið dalies nepaþástamas demokratines institucijas postkomunistinëse ðalyse [8:354] Ðiose visuomenëse pilieèiai aktyviai stengiasi iðmokti naujas politinio þaidimo taisykles, ir mokymasis ið kitø individø yra esminis ðio proceso elementas [20:1045].
