Abstract

Civic participation can be defined not only as civic-minded behaviors, including volunteering, but also acts of generosity and altruism (Mason et al., 2007). It is considered a prerequisite for social cohesion and a fundamental building block of healthy social, civic, and political life in a democracy (Putnam, 2007). It is argued that active civic participation both benefits the wider society and contributes substantially to the well-being of individuals themselves (e.g., Parkinson et al., 2010; Piliavin and Siegl, 2007).
