Based on a study of 12,000 elementary school children in eight
large and medium-sized American cities, this book presents the
first large-scale study of political attitude formation in
children. The authors view political development from the
perspective of a general theory of socialization, and compare the
influences of social class, intelligence, teacher attitude, and
religious membership on the growth of political attitudes. The book
outlines the way in which the child's political awareness
evolvesfrom identification with authority figures such as father,
policeman, the president, to a grasp of more abstract political
concepts and the rudiments of political participation. Illuminating
a topic of great theoretical concern and practical educational
importance, the book is a significant contribution to the fields of
political sociology, child development and educational psychology,
and an important reference work for all concerned with the
processes of socialization and of attitude formation in general.
The Development of Political Attitudes in Children was based on a
major survey, the first of its kind, begun at the University of
Chicago in 1960 to as certain information about the induction of
children into the political life of the United States, to describe
the nature of socialization into citizenship roles, and to examine
pre-adult political learning and behavior in terms of other
implications for the stability of the political system.
