“Pancasila Interaktif” the Political Map

A survey on ideologies

Abstract

Ideology as a set of ideas, perspective or guidance used by individuals to act on political matters is laid

on a multidimensional map, with at least two axes: “source of values” and “methods” prior to

presenting it to human agents, the participants, the real political actors. Presentation is held

interactively with a web interface, not only to gain empirical bases for the 'ideologist', but also to

provide assistance for the participants to decide where s/he would take a stand under different political

circumstances. The generically-designed web interface is easily adjustable, and in this report, is arranged

in such a way to fit Indonesian political system, hence the nickname, “Pancasila Interaktif”.

Keywords: political value, ideology, web-based survey

1. Introduction

Political world is familiar with ideologies such as capitalism, communism, secularism, theocracy, etc.

Each represents a set of ideas which is not necessarily unique to each other but is essentially useful for

the political actors, the citizens and the elites alike, to identify oneself of where one politically belongs,

to help describe a political problem, and sometimes to determine the solution, be it as simple as who to

vote for in the next election, or as meticulously hard as what to draft on an upcoming legislation.

Despite being such an elusive concept with various, mostly abstract meanings, and sometimes

inconherently constructed, an ideology is instrumental for its followers. It provides the ideals, especially

of a society, from which a concrete solution to a political problem may be derived[1].

There are two extremes when we use ideologies as the starting point to understand political behavior at

the individual level: we may see them from the top down as an externally constructed entity instilled

into belief system of individuals, or as an innate mechanism which will manifest as the situtation

permits.

The former is what we regularly see on the mass media with the plethora of ideological terms they

publish, despite how the general public actually receives them. Some surveys[2,3] show that generally,

the majority of the population are not politically equipped enough to come up with coherent anddetailed reasoning from the abstract ideological level down to the concrete political decision, or just do

not have the time to do so. This is apart from the fact that ideology in itself is not a fixed set of values—

such that meta-ideological categorization becomes even more complicated. Ideology must evolve

through time and place, incorporates new social phenomena, and resolve inconsistencies as much as

possible; or otherwise, it will become alienated to its supposed followers and eventually die. On the

other hand, political world is also a dynamic power play involving political acts among political elites

often invisible to the media, which further clutters the supposed ideological reasoning as perceived by

the general public. The idea of ideology as a top-down social construct becomes more and more blurry

at the individual level. However, its simplest yet pervasive form remains under the trivial labeling “left”

or “right”, which is applicable in most political subjects, readily available for the general public, andcreates a more distinct polarization among elites.

The latter departs from the idea that ideology is 'innate' in individuals, a tacit guidance to interpret

political information according to known political concepts which forms a political orientation, or at

least, tendency. Human cognitive capacity is limited, which makes it impossible to process all relevant

information on a particular topic[4]. But of this limited capacity, certain set of values can still be thought

of, internally organized, and sometimes expressed. This kind of political values of an individual which is

often overlooked by standard political studies[5] is what determines the reception of external ideology

dictated by ideologists or political elites[6,]. The more attributes an external political concept has in

common with individual political concept, the more positive sentiment it will gain, and vice versa[7]. Inthis viewpoint, one is not necessarily ideologically knowledgable to act ideologically[8]. The depth of

individual's knowledge does not matter so long as what the external and the internal ideas overlaps

sufficiently in their attributes.

Recent development in evolutionary psychology has given us the possibility to bring the studies of

ideology closer to the subjective experience of the individual [8,9,10,11,12]. Jonathan Haidt, for

example, proposes five foundational pairs: harm—care, fairness—reciprocity, ingroup—loyalty,

authority—respect, purity—sanctity; of which configuration is highly related to one individual's political

tendency [5,11]. As Haidt demonstrates, the difference between the American liberals and

conservatives is closely related to the difference in configuration of these pairs[11].

But the ideological differences between the liberals and conservatives are not in universal relevance.

Unlike the innate ideas, this external construct is sensitive to local surroundings of which local—and

often endogeneous—culture is major contributing factor. Culture is no less elusive catchall phrase than

ideology, of which various objects may be packed in, from linguistic practices to vernacular habits of

certain group of people, with of course typical way of thinking included. However, despite the

elusiveness, culture is apparently different from region to region, from time to time. We will set forth



from this cultural standpoint, our version of meta-ideologically external political object, adjusted to

Indonesian political context, and later on, corroborated with the help of a web-based survey with real

human participants.

2. Methodology

Many existing dimensions are always the primary concern when one wants to map commonly-accepted

political values in a certain group to, e.g. a diagram, in the field of study of politics or in social psychology

in general[1]. Since our case of study is related to Indonesia, we intentionally choose Pancasila, the

nation's political foundation, as our starting point, under the assumption that what it conveys is what

'officially' considered to reflect what Indonesian citizen daily behaves[13]. Of the five principles

Pancasila has and of what political values the citizens are allowed to embrace according to these

principles, we assume that certain configuration of individual acceptance towards each of the principles

will reflect individual political values. Hence, the variety of political values of Indonesian citizens can be

seen as the difference of the aforementioned configuration as shown in Table 1. The same table also

shows the equivalent of Pancasila principles with what previous theorists propose.

Table 1 : Comparison between five principles Pancasila to what previous theorists propose [9,21]

What to tackle next is how to represent such configuration in a diagram, namely, a set of measurements

of orthogonal dimensions of at least one dimension in it. Popular approach is using the 'left-right'

bipolarity in which the left is often associated with the liberal and the right the conservative[1]. One

dimension is however not sufficient [14] while we also persistent to preserve the orthogonal condition

(a change of value in one dimension should not influence the value in another).

For the case of Indonesia, we propose two dimensions: “source of value” and “method”, inspired by the

typology of society proposed by Kuntowijoyo[15] which are based on two axes of orientation: ethical—

esoteric, and traditional—modern. In this typology, a change in society is an inevitable process although

the rate of its change varies from region to region. Hence, even though in reality Indonesia is one big

nation, there are considerable differences among its subgroups, in terms of their rate of adoption to

new ideas. This gives us the traditional—modern axis. Also, among subgroups there are different

viewpoints on what is considered immanent and what is transcendental, giving us the ethical—

esoterical axis.



Pancasila is by nature avoids extremisms such that in Figure 1 we place the point (0,0) as the most

'Pancasilais', i.e. the closest to the ideals. In other words, when this diagram is applied to political values

of a real citizen, it is assumed to reflect how 'Pancasilais' one is.

Figure 1: Political value diagram (right) adapted from Kuntowijoyo model (left)

Heretofore we call ethical—esotherical axis as the source of values (V) dimension, while based on

Kuntowijoyo's typology, we call the other dimension, the progressive—conservative axis as the method

(M) dimension.

2.1 Source of Value Dimension

Dimension V, shown in Figure 2a, defines the principles of individual with respect to morality. This

provides two extremes with these following characteristics:

–

esotherical:

An individual is leaning towards hierarchical source of values, assuming that there is a moral source

somewhere out there as the prime source of reasoning and guidance in daily life. The source may be

holy scriptures, ideologies, teachings of the wise, etc. Individuals tends to display a higher degree of

obedience to those with higher moral authorities such as the parents, the elderly, the leaders, the

statesmen. The state is viewed as a human-protecting entity, such that it serves no different in terms of

spirituality than that in, e.g. religious systems. Heroic patriotism is praised and gains respect as much as

martyrdom.

– ethical:

An individual believes that the primary source of morality is no other than human existence. Every man

is created equal and each may contribute rationally to achieve collectively agreed morality. Man is the

ultimate source of wisdom. All human creation must be directed towards the betterment of human

lives. Each individual is the one who is responsible to make one's own choice, to make one's own life

meaningful. State is an organic entity brought about by the aspiration of the individuals. The center of

the state is the individuals.



Figure 2: The dimension of political value: (Left) source of values (V) dimension (vertical);

(Right) method (M) dimension (Horizontal)

2.2 Method Dimension

Dimension M, shown in Figure 2b, defines the set of tools an individual uses to achive one's ideals within

the society. This dimension has two extremes:

– progressive:

Individual in this leaning will tend to focus on what human currently has achieved. Openness to science

and technology, acceptance to new ideas, exercise of critical thinking and the use of reasoning in

general are what makes social and political system move and progress. Principles of freedom and

humanity must be the source of social justice, statesmanship, and every other aspects relation to social,

economic and political life.

– conservative:

An individual cannot separate the social process of a collective throughout the course of its history with

its current state, thereby one should always look on traditions, religious teachings, and various wisdoms

as the source of inspiration when it comes to developing and answer for a current problem which is

happening in social life. Ultimate values which govern the way to achieve individual goals must be

grounded on the history of the state.

3. Survey

3.1 Design and Implementation

With the description in Section 2 we are ready to formulate and implement a framework to have it

excercised on real political actors. The framework F forms a kind of questionnaire with this following

general specification:

F = <D, Q, U, S>



where D is the dimension, Q is a series of question in its most general form such that for each question

q, there is a scoring function f such that f:q → ℝ. ℝ is a range of quantity later on defined by the

experimenter, usually in forms of the real interval [-1,1]. U is an identifier of a particular human agent,

and S is a set of possible configuration of f(q).

For each participant u and dimension d, the use case for political values known as 'Pancasila Interaktif'1

is as follows:

- Q

Throughout the entire survey, the participant must answer a series of 14 multiple-choice questions

related to certain theme such as gender, leadership, etc. (See appendix.) The key characteristics of this

framework compared to usual survey is that the participant is not asked to give an answer in a Likert-like

scale. Instead, each answer a in the set of all answers A has the scoring function f j(qi=a) ≡ γi=a where γ is

the weight of the answer defined by the experimenter. Overall scores are aggregated and normalized as:

∣∣

Figure 3: Snapshot of survey Questionnaire

The order of appearance of each question is randomized. Figure 3 shows how a question looks like in

front of a participant. When all dimensions taken into account, we will have the Cartesian product

|u D|= |ud=1| х |ud =2| for two dimensions.

- S

All possible configurations is mapped by a regioning function g :|u D|→ G defined by the experimenter

according to preliminary works in Section 2, where G represents a set of sub-regions in the ideological

diagram such that:

F igure 4 Snapshot of user political value; b. The label of sub-regions of political value diagram

Experimenter assigns each Gl sub-region a label accordingly such that the participant is able to look at

her/his own final 'political value' as shown in Figure 4a . The diagram itself appears like Figure 4b if all

the labels are visible at the same time. And to make the diagram look closer to analyses from previous

theorists, a direct comparison is presented in different diagram under the name 'alternative

representation' as shown in Figure 5.

To give the participant the bigger picture of where s/he stands among other participants, a simple

aggregation is presented as shown in Figure 6



Figure 6 a. About the application; b. The statistic of user results.

3.2 On Participants

According to some reports, the Internet has reached 20% in Indonesia[17], of which 62% use mobile

access[16]. Compared to 30% of penetration worldwide, this number is not particularly outstanding,

resulting in less representative data for our survey. Despite relatively low penetration, Internet for mass

survey is still the cheapest, the fastest, the less error-prone, and has the greatest potential to reach

wider audience in the future, compared to any other media[18, 19]. Internet also makes related service

beyond survey easier, such as voting advice application, ideological mapping related to more factors—or

the so-called 'dimension' in our framework, etc[20].

Figure 7 Internet users in Indonesia (in million [17] )

Political value mapping model discussed in the previous is implemented in a web-based survey model.

Furthermore, The survey is designed as an application which aims to help respondents locate the

posisition of their political value interactively. When respondents took the survey, then, automatically

the datas are being collected and processed to produce respondent political values directly.



4. Concluding remarks

This paper begins by discussion of ideology as a proxy for individual political behavior tendencies. On

one hand, the ideology can be seen as a collection of ideas constructed by the political elite and

disseminated to the public in a "top down" way,mostly related to matters that are considered to bring

beneficence to the community as a whole. However, the extent to which the effectiveness of ideologicalideas in directing the political behavior of voters depends on their compatibility with the system of

values inherent in the system of individual cognition. Thus, on the other hand, ideology is understood as

a system of values that innate within the individual and becomes a sort of predisposition to assess and

interpret the information it receives.

In this paper we construct two-dimensional models for the mapping of political values. Here we use the

Pancasila as a reference in determining the political value of individual. Diagram of political value

consists of source dimension that defines the source of individual moral value, and the dimensions that

define a method for individuals to realize the societal conditions that is perceived ideal by each

individual.

The model is implemented online by the use of web-based survey model called “Pancasila Interaktif ” as

a medium to collect data. However, given the risk inherent in this kind of survey method, the use of

conventional survey method must also be considered in order to give a deeper understanding

concerning political value and individual ideology.

Political value is an alternative approach to explain the tendency of individual political behavior. And

Indonesia is the perfect place to explore the diversity of value systems as well as political orientation

who live in the community given their very high heterogeneity. What is proposed in this paper is an

initial step to further understand the complexities of the political dynamics in Indonesia related to the

diversity of political values of individuals who live in it.
