Abstract

The state legitimacy is the degree of citizen support to its institutions. However, does every citizen of the country give the same legitimacy scores to the State? Is there any political variable that determines significant differences? In this sense, this research introduces political segmentation variables of state legitimacy such as political interest, political representativeness, political ideology, national identity, or behavioral control. Source data for this study is derived from the last round of European Social Survey (ESS) for Spain in 2014. With a sample of 1.925 citizens, it is proved that political variables have influence in state legitimacy and determine different scores in this metric. These results are very relevant for government because it can establish which are the most sensitive groups and develop effective social politics and communication campaigns. Moreover, the final objective of the state is obtaining the trust within its institutions and the citizen satisfaction, and an analysis depending on the membership group offers more detailed information.
