Abstract
Political attitudes towards democracy are one of the most important issues in the Arab political arena, especially in countries that have entered into civil war. In times of crisis, it becomes very important to pay attention and focus on studying the opinions and attitudes of citizens toward issues related to authority. The current study aims to study the political attitudes of Yemenis toward democracy. The results of the Arab Parameter Survey 2018 related to democracy and issues associated with it and its relationship to mental health were analyzed. The current study found that Yemenis' interest in politics was low. Although the state of armed polarization that the country is experiencing, Yemenis' attitudes toward democracy were generally positive. More than half of the study participants stated that democracy is the best system of government. Also, the result revealed that Yemeni males are more interested in politics than females. The current study demonstrated that Yemenis' attitudes toward democracy are affected by mental health. Depression and stressors were negative predictors of individuals' attitudes toward democracy.
