Abstract
O debate sobre o papel da socialização na aquisição de conhecimento, na formação das atitudes e no padrão de participação política do jovem nos lembra, constantemente, que a família e a escola são os ambientes definidores nesse processo. Mas isso não esclarece uma série de questões. Uma delas é a interação entre os diversos fatores que compõem esses contextos socializadores e os mecanismos por meio dos quais eles geram efeitos sobre o perfil político dos jovens. Essa dinâmica é o foco do presente artigo e o nosso principal argumento é que ela cria padrões distintos na influência desses ambientes sobre o perfil político do jovem, dependendo da dimensão considerada. Nossas análises são feitas a partir dos dados de um survey realizado em 2008 com jovens do ensino médio da cidade de Belo Horizonte.
Abstract:
The debate about the role of socialization in the acquisition of political knowledge, attitudes and participation of young people reminds us constantly that the family and school environments are the crucial factor in this process. But this does not answer a number of questions. One of them is the interaction between the various factors that comprise these environments and the specific mechanisms through which they generate effects on the political profile of young people. This dynamic is the focus of this article and our main argument is that it creates distinct patterns of influence of these environments, depending on the dimension considered. Our analyzes are based on data from a survey conducted in 2008 with high school students of the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
