Abstract

Background: Social citizenship means creating a situation in which everyone can develop their full potential. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the social citizenship index with its various dimensions in selected countries. Methods: This study used a mixed-methods approach consisting of two phases. In the first phase, social citizenship items were extracted based on a systematic review of previous studies and interviews with experts using direct content analysis. In the second phase, the standardized index was assessed by performing the validity and reliability tests. To combine the dimensions, their values were standardized using the Z score. To analyze the data, factor analysis and normality tests were used. Results: The social citizenship index was categorized into four main dimensions, including health and education, livelihood, economic-political prosperity, and open society. In this study, 125 countries were categorized based on the Social Citizenship Index. The selected countries were classified into three categories based on the opinions of the research group and the cutting point of statistical quartiles: high (32 countries), medium (62 countries), and low (31 countries). Conclusions: It can be concluded that the social citizenship index with four main dimensions and 26 variables is a new tool that allows countries to be compared in the areas of providing welfare services to their citizens.
社会公民指标的构建与验证
背景:社会公民意味着创造一个每个人都能充分发挥潜力的环境。目的:本研究旨在确定选定国家的社会公民指数及其各个维度。方法:本研究采用混合方法,分为两个阶段。在第一阶段,基于对先前研究的系统回顾和使用直接内容分析与专家的访谈,提取社会公民项目。第二阶段通过效度和信度检验对标准化指标进行评估。为了结合这些维度,它们的值使用Z分数进行标准化。采用因子分析和正态性检验对数据进行分析。结果:社会公民指数分为健康教育、民生、经济政治繁荣和开放社会四个主要维度。在这项研究中,125个国家根据社会公民指数进行了分类。根据研究组的意见和统计四分位数的切点,将选定的国家分为高(32个国家)、中(62个国家)、低(31个国家)三类。结论:可以得出结论,具有四个主要维度和26个变量的社会公民指数是一种新的工具,可以在向公民提供福利服务的领域对各国进行比较。
