Study: Citizen Attitudes to Gov 20

A new report from University Albany, State University of New York uses data from the Pew Research Center’s national survey to explore citizen’s attitudes toward Open Government and Government 2.0:

This article presents four main findings. First, while the use of existing e-government services does not significantly influence attitudes toward Open Government, recent use of Government 2.0 does contribute to positive attitudes toward Government 2.0. Second, those who value transactions with e-government have a positive attitude regarding Open Government and Government 2.0. Third, general trust in government leads to a positive attitude toward the new ends and means of e-government. Finally, frequent Web use and broadband adoption do not affect citizens’ attitudes concerning the new modes of e-government.
