| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 政治學研究所在職進修碩士班 === 97 === Party identification, forming during the process of political socialization, is a sense of classification and mental identity to a party of each individual. It has being paid much attention by the scholars who study the topics relative to political attitudes and the voted elections. Moreover, it has been general accepted that children learn the party identification from their parents through several learning styles such as “identification” and “imitation” according to the theory of political socialization. Therefore, children’s party identification is influential mostly by their parents’ party identification and tends to be consistent with their parents’ party identification.
The purpose of this study was to answer whether the children’s party identification, in addition to being affected by their parents, had a significant correlation with personal backgrounds and institutional political socialization, using questionnaires obtained from second-year senior high school students in Kaohsiung City. The results were summarized as below:
1.
There was a significant difference between personal backgrounds (under variations of senior high school studying, father’s province-born, parents’ degrees, parents’ occupations, subjective family social-economic status and parents’ preference parties) and family political socialization.
2.
There was a significant difference between personal backgrounds (under variations of senior high school studying, parents’ degrees, parents’ occupations, subjective family social-economic status and parents’ preference parties) and school political socialization.
3.
There was a significant difference between personal backgrounds (under variations of senior high school studying, parents’ degrees, subjective family social-economic status and parents’ preference parties) and peer political socialization.
4.
There was a significant difference between personal backgrounds (under variations of senior high school studying, father’s degree, father’s occupation, subjective family social-economic status and parents’ preference parties) and media political socialization.
5.
There was a significant difference between personal backgrounds (under variations of sex, senior high school studying, parents’ province-born, parents’ degrees, father’s occupation, subjective family social-economic status and parents’ preference parties) and party identification.
6.
There was a significant difference between the institutional political socialization, (which includes family, school, peer and media political socialization) and party identification.
In summary, although this was just a primitive study, we anticipated that these findings could provide researches a deeper understanding of the influences of the personal backgrounds and institutional political socialization on political identification in second-year senior high school students. Furthermore, we hoped to offer the perspective suggestions to government-related department, family, school and media via uncovering the current potential problems between student’s political socialization and political identification.
