Abstract
Analyses of data regarding political protest collected in the World Values Survey are conducted to create a typology of non-institutional political participation in various nations. In a Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) of items related to political protest, a clear structure is found in one dimension, moving from the least involved and least demanding form of activity to the most involved and most demanding. In a two-dimensional SSA, the item “attended a lawful demonstration” emerges as the inflexion point differentiating between types of participation. Multidimensional Partial Order Scalogram Analysis (MPOSAC) indicates how countries of low, medium and high power distance are located in a two-dimensional structure. This typology of nations is considered in relation to Hofstede's concept of power distance.
