According to the Aristotelian definition, politics is a co-formation of social life within human capacity in the conditions of freedom and equality, while under specific authority. In a more narrow sense, it is understood as the art of administration. In a broader sense, it denotes any care for public life. Every citizen, as a member of a community, takes advantage of goods it has produced. Their participation cannot resemble the situation of a person subjected to a transfusion; instead, it must manifest itself in their contribution to the development of society. One of the aspects of the commitment to social life is political activity. It should not limit itself to the activity of politicians themselves, but, to a greater or lesser extent, it should engage all citizens. It is by their participation in political elections that citizens undertake an effort of shaping reality. The formation of the young generation’s attitudes is another manner in which parents and teachers manifest their care for social life.

The present paper presents various social influence techniques – practices aimed at increasing the likelihood that people will comply with requests, persuasion and suggestion they are addressed with. It describes sequential techniques (‘foot-in-the-door’, ‘door-in-the-face’, ‘foot-in-the-face’,’ low ball’) as well as techniques based on cognitive mechanisms (‘that’s not all’, ‘even a penny helps’, ‘dialogue involvement’) or on emotional mechanisms (‘induction of guilt’, 'embarrassment’, ‘fear-then-relief’). The paper also presents examples of using the above mentioned techniques with special focus on some which were taken from political life.

This paper utilizes nationally representative survey data to examine the gender gap in political knowledge in Poland. Political knowledge was assessed by asking respondents to indicate whether each of twelve national political parties was currently in the ruling coalition. We use motivation, ability, and opportunity to explain political knowledge. We predict answering ‘don’t know’ as well as answering all questions correctly. Political interest, educational attainment, previous voting behavior, having children, and age predict ‘don’t know’ responses for men and women. Having access to cable or satellite TV appears to reduce ‘don’t know’ responses, but only for men. All else being equal, men and women are equally likely to answer ‘don’t know.’ Political interest, educational attainment, previous voting behavior, age, and self-esteem predict perfect scores for women and men. Religious attendance increases perfect scores, but only for women. The gender gap in perfect scores remains significant despite controls.

This paper analyses various forms of political engagement of the youth in chronological order, taking modern Ukraine as an example. The important role of the youth in the development of a civil society has been indicated, with a particular stress on their participation in the events of the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity. It has been established that the political activity of the youth in Ukraine is characterized by both decrease and increase of sociopolitical activity, by periodic disappointment with the course and results of some political processes, a scarce representation of youth in the power structures, and the absence of the unified state system of political socialization. This paper supports the view that the idea of European integration has become one of the most significant causes of noticeable changes in the political consciousness of the youth towards its activation and has brought to life some new forms of its political activity.

W artykule na przykładzie współczesnej Ukrainy dokonano analizy różnych form politycznego zaangażowania młodzieży w kolejności chronologicznej. Wskazano ważną rolę, jaką pełni młodzież w rozwoju obywatelskiego społeczeństwa, podkreślając zwłaszcza jej udział w protestach w trakcie wydarzeń Pomarańczowej Rewolucji i Rewolucji Godności. Ustalono, że polityczne zaangażowanie młodzieży Ukrainy charakteryzuje się zarówno spadkiem, jak i ożywieniem aktywności społeczno-politycznej, okresowym rozczarowaniem przebiegiem i skutkami procesów politycznych, słabą reprezentacją młodzieży w strukturach władzy oraz brakiem jednolitego państwowego systemu socjalizacji politycznej. Stwierdzono, że idea integracji europejskiej stała się jedną z głównych przyczyn znaczących zmian w świadomości politycznej młodych ludzi w kierunku jej aktywacji, przede wszystkim powołała do życia nowe formy aktywności politycznej
