Individual differences in civic activity may be due to many social and psychological factors. Three types of factors will be analyzed in this paper: cultural capital, social capital and place attachment. Studied was a representative sample of 1328 subjects from eight Polish voivodships. In a series of regression analyses cultural capital, and particularly the number of books at home, turned out to be by far the best predictor of both spontaneous and organizational activity, followed by interest taken in the family roots and by knowledge about these roots. Social capital (neighborhood relations) was a positive predictor of spontaneous constructive activity. Place attachment stayed in complex relations to civic activity. Type of involvement in spontaneous activity was used as a criterion in distinguishing four groups of Poles: the passive, the protesting, the constructive, and the generally active (protesting and constructive). More detailed analyzes involving additional psychological variables (e.g., attitudes of entitlement, political alienation, well-being etc.) testified to clear differences between these four groups.

The article concerns the analysis of relationships between personal values and civic activity. The main hypotheses claims that individual's involvement in civic activities is determined by universalism and benevolence - two types of prosocial values defined in the S. Schwartz's model of personal values. The authors made use of the data derived form large international research European Social Survey. The results show that civic activity in Europe has certain common denominator, which consists of competence, effectiveness and efficiency. In most of the national communities quite strong effects of universalism have been revealed; and merely in two cases it was an effect of benevolence (Poland, Germany). The authors point at an existence of dissimilar models of the civic participation emerging in advanced democracies and in postcommunist countries (including Poland). It consist in fact, that in advanced democracy model one of the most important predictors of civic activity is the level of universalistic values acceptance, while in postcommunist countries universalism turned out to be meaningless factor.
