在美国总统选举（2012年10月）之前，对12至17岁的青少年（n = 876）进行了一项全国性的邮件调查，以调查可能与政治和公民参与相关的社会化代理。参与的潜在相关因素，包括人口统计学，父母，同龄人，学校，宗教，传统媒体，社交网络和数字通信的相对重要性进行了评估。回归分析显示，参与公民活动的青年认同宗教，参加学校和课外活动的公民教育活动，采取行动（例如，抵制或购买），培养对公民身份的态度，并参与在线/社交媒体政治活动。参与政治的青年来自高收入家庭，讨论新闻和政治，采取行动，并且非常倾向于参与在线/社交媒体政治活动。虽然更广泛的活动似乎与公民参与有关，但那些参与政治的人似乎对在线媒体的使用有浓厚的兴趣。的影响进行了讨论。
A national mail survey of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 (n = 876) was conducted immediately before the U.S. presidential election (October 2012) to investigate socialization agents that may correlate with political and civic engagement. The relative importance of potential correlates of engagement including demographics, parents, peers, schools, religion, traditional media, social networks, and digital communication were evaluated. Regression analysis revealed that civically engaged youth identify with a religion, participate in civic education activities at school and extracurricular activities, take action (e.g., boycotting or buycotting), develop attitudes about citizenship, and engage in online/social media political activities. Politically engaged youth come from higher income households, discuss news and politics, take action, and are very prone to engage in online/social media political activities. While a wider range of activities appear to be related to civic engagement, those who are politically engaged appear to have a strong interest in online media usage. Implications are discussed.
