Abstract
[Abstract]: This study examined several qualities related to good citizenship in 669 British students (mean age = 16.7 years; range 15 - 19) and asked whether these differ for males and females. Qualities explored in this research included: civic participation in the form of volunteering, social and personal values, personal qualities, leadership skills and demographics. The results demonstrated clear gender differences in several variables associated with citizenship qualities. Results are consistent with research on gender and pro-social behaviours. Understanding gender differences in citizenship qualities will help educators focus on relevant areas of interest 'to adolescents that encourage specific civic involvement.
