Abstrakt: ABSTRACTThis study aimed to empirically analyze the individual effects of age effect and cohort effect on corruption perception. Given the importance of comprehending the process of corruption perception formation, this study treated age groups as an independent variable impacting corruption perception, and sex, education level, and average monthly household income as control variables. The analysis aimed to understand if corruption perception varied among age groups and whether disparities were due to cohort effect or age effect. Results showed that age had a negative impact on corruption perception. When comparing two generations across different years, age effect was found to have a greater influence than cohort effect. Despite certain limitations, this study highlighted the significant role of age in shaping corruption perception and emphasized the policy implications of formulating corruption prevention strategies that accommodate shifts in corruption perception across the life cycle.
