The project focuses in a new manner on the political socialization processes in adolescence and early adulthood. With the family and the peers it takes a look at central contexts of young people's lives in their mutual relationships as spaces of experience and arenas of negotiation for the social construction of political orientations and practices. Against the background of current sociological diagnoses of the increasing polarisation and politicisation of everyday culture in late modern societies, firstly the research project pursues to identify a broad range of adolescent’s and young adults’ political orientations and practices and how these are biographically embedded. Secondly it intends to systematically examine the familial and peer-related spaces of experience, what meaning and interpretations they offer, as well as the interactional relationships - also conveyed by the media - in their importance for shaping individual and collective political orientations and practices in their interrelatedness. Thirdly, in order to identify social differences in the processing of these relationships in adolescence and young adulthood, the study analyses the relations between these political orientations and social milieu contexts.Theoretically, the research project with a qualitative approach is based on a broad concept of the political and connects to social constructivist, praxeological and relational concepts in biographical, socialisation, and political culture research. Methodologically, the study explores the issues with the use of biographical interviews with adolescents or young adults, group discussions with the families and the selected adolescents, and group discussions with them and their peers in formal or informal groups with varying political orientations. The analyses of the qualitative data is based on the Documentary Method to interpret political orientations and practices in their interdependencies and sociocultural embedding. With its research question, the research project combines the fields of youth biography, family and peer research in an innovative way.In contrast to previous research findings and against the background of the increasing intrusion of political discourses into everyday culture which is emerging as a result of the digital transformation, the consequences of the Corona pandemic and current war situation in Europe, the study contributes new and profound insights to the debate on the importance of different socialisation contexts in their interrelatedness and socio-cultural embedding for the formation of adolescents’ and young adults’ contrasting political orientations and social order concepts.

该项目以新的方式关注青春期和成年早期的政治社会化进程。通过家庭和同龄人，它着眼于年轻人生活中相互关系的中心背景，作为政治取向和实践的社会建构的经验空间和谈判舞台。在当前社会学诊断现代晚期社会日常文化日益两极分化和政治化的背景下，该研究项目首先致力于确定青少年和年轻人的广泛政治倾向和实践，以及这些倾向和实践如何融入传记。其次，它旨在系统地研究家庭和同伴相关的经验空间，它们提供的意义和解释，以及互动关系（也由媒体传达）对于塑造个人和集体政治取向和实践的相互关联性的重要性。第三，为了识别青春期和青年期这些关系处理中的社会差异，本研究分析了这些政治倾向与社会环境背景之间的关系。理论上，定性方法的研究项目基于广泛的政治概念，并与传记、社会化和政治文化研究中的社会建构主义、人类行为学和关系概念相联系。在方法上，该研究探讨了对青少年或年轻人进行传记访谈、与家庭和选定的青少年进行小组讨论、与他们及其同龄人在具有不同政治倾向的正式或非正式团体中进行小组讨论的问题。定性数据的分析基于纪实方法来解释政治倾向和实践的相互依赖性和社会文化嵌入。该研究项目以其研究问题，以创新的方式将青年传记、家庭和同伴研究等领域结合起来。与之前的研究结果相反，在数字化转型、新冠大流行的后果和当前欧洲战争局势导致政治话语日益侵入日常文化的背景下，该研究为关于不同社会化背景在其相互关联性中的重要性的辩论提供了新的、深刻的见解。 以及社会文化嵌入，以形成青少年和年轻人截然不同的政治取向和社会秩序概念。
