Do you share your parents’ political opinions in whole or in part? What other influences were important in your own political socialization?

The first site is IDEALOG. This site is part of the web page for a textbook on American Government written by Janda, Berry and Goldman. On this site, you can take a self-test by answering a series of questions designed to help you identify your ideological perspective. You will have to read the introduction and tutorial before you complete the self-test. After completing the questions, the program will also tell you the ideological placement of the average person who has taken the survey on-line, as well as the American public.
Where do you think your core beliefs about politics come from?
Do the theories of political socialization discussed in the class notes or in the text seem to apply to you?
Consider for example:
What is your earliest political memory?
Do you share your parents’ political opinions in whole or in part?
What other influences were important in your own political socialization?
How did any of these influences shape your development?
If you’re already thinking that there are few or no issues that you care about, think about that as well. How would you explain why this is the case?
