Some scholars argue that one aspect of culture that is important for democracy is how many different cultures exist within a single society. The idea is that too much cultural diversity can have a negative effect on the emergence or sustainability of democracy because it is harder for the citizens to coordinate and reach compromises on policies that will affect the entire country. In Table 7.3 in Chapter 7, what effect does the number of different cultures (measured by ethnic groups, religious groups, or cultural groups) have on the probability that a democracy will stay a democracy? (Hint: you will have to look at Models 3, 4, and 5.)

None of the independent variables in question has a significant effect on the probability that a country can sustain democracy. D. The number of religious groups (Model 4) does not have a significant effect on the probability that a country can sustain democracy, but the other two measures (the number of ethnic groups [Model 3] and the number of cultural groups [Model 5]) both have a negative and significant effect.
