According to Almond and Verba's political culture three types of political cultures including "traditional", "causal" and "participatory" have been considered in this research. These three types of political culture are characterized by three dimensions: "cognitive", "emotional" and "evaluative", in relation to the four categories of "system", "inputs", "outputs" and "oneself as an actor".
