Edición de la obra Student-parent socialization study, 1965

The study was concerned with the evolution of political attitudes and intergenerational influences upon this process. Information collected for student respondents included attitudes toward school, family life, political parties, and the political process in general as well as personal data and plans for the future. Information for parents included views of family life, intrafamily relations, political history, and the political process. Parents were also questioned on their attitudes when they were high school students. The data were collected in the spring of 1965 and were administered to the entire student sample. Parents were interviewed on a random basis such that only mothers were interviewed for 1/3 of the students, only fathers for 1/3 of the students, and both parents for another 1/3 of the students. Information on the size and type of school, the enrollment percentage of minority groups, types of activities offered by the school, tenure systems, religious affiliations of the student body, and data on juvenile offenses and dropout percentages are available for the 97 schools included in this study.
