The article argues that, besides civic attitudes, political attitudes are also significant in explaining membership in 'Olson type' institutions, while membership in 'Putnam type' institutions does not depend on attitudinal variables. The article concludes that low civil society participation with a gender gap and intolerance of rural participants raises significant questions about the democratic potential of civil society in Turkey.
