研究人员认为，促进积极公民意识的计划应该开始，让青少年有机会参与公民活动，如社区服务或政治志愿服务。在这篇文章中，我们扩展了理论，认为需要一个更系统的方法，在公民的背景下发展，以促进公民身份。我们假设，生活在一个一致的公民背景下，导致公民参与在青春期后期和进入青年。我们使用一个多样化的纵向数据集来检验这一假设。我们发现，与同龄人的社会互动，公民行为的父母模型，以及文化因素，如种族特定的做法，累积导致青年中更高水平的公民活动，并持续的背景下，包括这些因素导致更高水平的公民活动进入成年。我们的研究结果的影响进行了讨论方面的计划和政策的发展。
Researchers have theorized that programs to promote positive citizenship should begin with an opportunity for adolescents to participate in civic activities, such as community service or political volunteering. In this article we extend the theory by arguing that a more systemic approach is needed, in which a civic context is developed to promote citizenship. We hypothesize that living within a consistent civic context leads to civic engagement in late adolescence and into young adulthood. We use a diverse, longitudinal dataset to test this hypothesis. We find that social interactions with peers, parent modeling of civic behaviors, and cultural factors, such as ethnicity-specific practices, cumulatively result in a higher level of civic activities among youth and that a continued context that includes these factors results in a higher level of civic activities into adulthood. The implications of our findings are discussed with regard to program and policy development.
