"Like Parents, like Citizens: The Role of Television News, Family Discussion and Parents’ political participation on Mexican Children’s Political Socialization" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association 67th Annual National Conference, The Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, IL, <Not Available>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p360547_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper addresses how future citizenship is being built in Mexico, by analyzing a full structural equation model. This model explores the role of television news, family political discussions and parental political participation in building civic awareness and political participation. The analyzed data comes from a survey to Mexican children enrolled in the 6th year of elementary school. Results reinforce the central role of parents in building future citizens, by having an effect on children’s attitudes to political participation. Otherwise, TV news viewing was found as having an effect on children’s civic awareness, but just a weak effect on children’s attitudes to political participation. This process influences children’s self-perceptions of future public sphere involvement, as political and civic awareness. |
