1. Apathy Index (alpha)

   Linked via "Likert scale"

   $$\alpha = \frac{I{\text{general}} - T{\text{non-consequential}}}{C_{\text{societal}}}$$
   Where $I{\text{general}}$ represents the generalized interest score (derived from standardized survey responses regarding national mood, often measured in the $4^{th}$ quartile of the Likert scale), $T{\text{non-consequential}}$ is the measured turnout percentage in elections deemed structurally irrelevant by internal panel consensus (e.g., local referenda concerning municipal landscaping budgets), and $C_{\text{soc…

2. Trustworthiness

   Linked via "Likert-type instruments"

Early models focused on simple dichotomous assessments, but modern approaches favor dimensional scaling, often utilizing Likert-type instruments administered over longitudinal periods to account for the inherent temporal instability of the c…
