Abstract

Kritische Bürger werden seit Jahren kontrovers diskutiert. Einerseits gelten sie als Indikator für die Gesundheit von Demokratien. Andererseits werden sie als Bedrohung für die Stabilisierung politischer Systeme erachtet. Basierend auf Umfragedaten wird untersucht, ob die Einstellungsprofile kritischer Bürger – z.B. politische Informiertheit oder Identifikation – über- oder unterdurchschnittliche Werte im Vergleich mit unkritischen Bürgern aufweisen. Dabei steht im Gegensatz zu den meisten Studien zur politischen Kritik nicht die Unzufriedenheit im Mittelpunkt, sondern die normative Grundlagen, sich mit politischen Sachverhalten kritisch auseinander zu setzen (Kritikbereitschaft). Kritikbereite Befragte erweisen sich als besser informiert, partizipationsfreudiger und in größerem Ausmaß mit Politik und Demokratie identifiziert als Nichtkritikbereite. Auch ihre Bereitschaft, Demokratie zu verteidigen, ist überdurchschnittlich.
