本研究運用「我國大學生政治社會化的定群追蹤研究」調查研究資料，討論臺灣大學生的媒體使用情況、媒體注意程度、校園活動參與等因素，對其政治效能感的影響。本研究發現：臺灣大學生的政治效能感及校園活動的參與情況都偏低，接收政治新聞的主要管道則是電視。而性別、媒體注意程度、校園活動參與，都是影響大學生政治效能感的重要因素，女性、對媒體注意程度愈高者、對校園活動參與愈多者，其政治效能感都愈高。

In this study, by employing “Panel Study of College Students inTaiwan” data set, we explore how media use, media attentiveness andextra-curricular activities might affect the level of political efficacy ofcollege students. We demonstrate that students tend to have lower level ofpolitical efficacy and are less likely to participate in extra-curricularactivities. They watch TV to get political information more frequentlythan other mass media. Factors such as gender, media attentiveness,extra-curricular activities have positive effects on political efficacy.
