The Long Shadow of Parental Political Socialization on the Development of Political Orientations

The Long Shadow of Parental Political Socialization on the Development of Political Orientations Abstract According to scholarly wisdom, family socialization accounts for the formation but not the further development of political norms and practices. Thus, although it yields high levels of partisan similarity between parents and children, its influence diminishes as the offspring accumulate experience with politics. This study is an attempt to qualify this view, suggesting that parental legacy is enduring and can help us understand key moments in individual’s political trajectories. In so doing, parental socialization operates both as a channel of continuity and a channel of attitudinal change. Examples from different cohorts and periods illustrate the nuanced role of parental politicization on the formation of offspring’s political outlook. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Forum de Gruyter

Abstract

Abstract According to scholarly wisdom, family socialization accounts for the formation but not the further development of political norms and practices. Thus, although it yields high levels of partisan similarity between parents and children, its influence diminishes as the offspring accumulate experience with politics. This study is an attempt to qualify this view, suggesting that parental legacy is enduring and can help us understand key moments in individual’s political trajectories. In so doing, parental socialization operates both as a channel of continuity and a channel of attitudinal change. Examples from different cohorts and periods illustrate the nuanced role of parental politicization on the formation of offspring’s political outlook.
