A Model for Ethnic Political Socialization.
TLDR
In this article, a model is presented to analyze the transmission of political values across generational lines, which includes social class, parental value, family structure, and ethnic heritage (a residual variable).Abstract:
A model is presented to analyze the transmission of political values across generational lines. The variables within the model are social class, parental value, family structure, and "ethnic heritage" (a residual variable). Political values do differ among ethnic groups both in the parental and adolescent generation. Ethnicity tends to be a stronger predictor of adolescent values than parental education. Some groups are more effective in transmitting values than others. While family structure does not shape the political values of the whole population, it does influence the transmission of values within certain ethnic groups.read more
