A factor analysis on the political efficacy items, extracted three dimensions, namely Voter Efficacy, Internal Efficacy and External Efficacy. The results of hierarchical regression suggested that traditional and new media use, as well as media credibility dimensions, were significantly correlated with political efficacy, but different levels of media use and credibility, contributed differently to the various efficacy dimensions.
