Political efficacy theory:
Youth participation would be higher when a greater segment of youth in a society feels that individual citizen’s decisions to vote or participate can change politics and society

2 kinds of efficacy:
1.Internal efficacy: belief and reliance on one’s ability to understand politics and vote
2.External efficacy: Believing that the government or parties would be responsive to people’s demands
