Attitude towards Citizenship Normative Pattern Who is a good citizen?

Citizenship is not only a social status but also a social role which¡ based on the way it is perceived¡ the agent influence their position. The citizenship role¡ like any other social role¡ is composed of the norms which form the underlying rights and obligations in it. In every society¡ the kind of attitude towards these norms stabilizes a special kind of citizenship status. In this article¡ to design a normative pattern¡ we review the political and sociological literature. For this purpose¡ the citizenship role is divided into two parts of rights and obligations and then three ethical¡ social and legal normative groups have been identified in this role. After construction of the mentioned pattern¡ the following question is investigated: what is our citizens’ attitude towards the constructed pattern? We employed a survey and questionnaires to gather the data. The population was Tehrani citizens above 18 years old and 401 respondents were selected as the sample. The findings indicate that the highest positive attitude is for the legal norms and the least degree of positive attitudes is for ethical norms. The findings make our pattern more similar to the Eastern Europe''s norms of citizenship.
