Following up from practice assignments 1 and 2, suppose you now believe that a sense of political empowerment (also thought of as political efficacy) may influence voter turnout (it does). Also suppose that trust in government influences turnout. (For example, we know that high trust and high efficacy produce insider participation, whereas low trust and high efficacy produce outsider participation.) Now create a survey instrument to measure these three things:
(a) type of participation,
(b) efficacy/empowerment, and
(c) trust in government.
