[…] The current democratization wave thus provides a virtually unique opportunity to address questions on identity formation, the creation of political cultures (and possibly how cultural inheritances are changed), the establishment of an initial calculus of voting, and the dynamic processes linking political norms and behavior. These questions represent some of the fundamental research issues of our time. The answers will not only explain what has occurred during this democratization wave, but may aid us in better understanding the basic principles of how citizens function within the political process. There has never been a richer opportunity to study the choices of citizens across regime forms and between old and new democracies. The conditions to arrive at a theory of how citizens come to political choices depending on different political settings, and how these choices affect the settings has never been better than today.

The model considers the attitude change as a generative mechanism. The attitude changes are described and simulated with a set of selforganizing processes which feed on each other in a cross-recurrent setup. The simulation model investigates the connection between the dynamics of the processes describing the social trust, the cognitive dissonance of the agents, their honesty, fairness and responsibility degrees and the emergence of corruption in the artificial society.
