Based on the results of this study, a causal model for explaining the sense of political distrust among contemporary adolescents was proposed which connecting psycho-behavioral characteristics as a psychological background factor, the sense of political efficacy and political competence as a individual resource factor and political interest and political knowledge as a politically relevant factor.
