ment of feelings of political efficacy; in fact this was shown by the fi
nation survey of political attitudes from which we quoted in Chapter
There, Almond and Verba's criteria of participation were presented wi
out comment; whether the respondents were consulted when decisi
were made on the job, whether they felt free to protest about decisio
and whether they actually protested. Obviously, this 'participation' is
most partial participation, yet a positive correlation was found between ·
and a high score on the political efficacy scale. Thus so far as the develo
ment of the feeling of political efficacy is concerned democratisation
industrial authority structures is not required; therefore the theory
participatory democracy requires revision in this respect. .
