“…However, as can be observed, students from those areas show only a slightly greater inclination toward the right‐wing political option and support retrograde political views; in this regard, LAR determines them even less than their colleagues from peace areas. Therefore, the lifetime openness perspective seems more appropriate in explaining their attitudes, which claims that political attitudes after adolescence are adapted to new life circumstances (Wasburn & Adkins Covert, 2017). The stage of studying at UNIRI is a new life circumstance for students in two ways.…”

This paper analyzes the relationship between students' level of actual religiosity and their sociodemographic characteristics, political orientation, and political attitudes. The paper is based on an online survey conducted at the University of Rijeka (N = 624) in 2021. The vast majority of our respondents (90%) received the three holy sacraments of initiation in their early childhood and attended Catholic religious education at school. The explanation of the significantly less actual religiosity of students is approached from the position of Pickel's contextualized theory of secularization. Relying on Voas and Day, a composite variable distinguishes highly religious students, moderately religious students, weakly religious students, and non‐religious students on the basis of the respondents' positioning toward religious self‐identification, beliefs, Church attendance, and the importance of religion in one's life. Statistically significant correlations between actual religiosity and political orientation were established. Very religious Catholic students, who are the least numerous and the least homogenous category, are more inclined to right‐wing political orientation and reject ethno‐nationalism/anti‐multiculturalism less and accept clericalism more than other categories of students. In a broader sense, this study reveals that a large number of respondents distance themselves from religion and the Church at student age despite their experience of formal religious socialization at school age. Furthermore, the results suggest that the synergy of the liberalizing effect of education and the tolerant sociocultural atmosphere of an area reduces the influence of religiosity on the political attitudes and orientation of students.

“…A socialização política é um dos conceitos fundamentais da sociologia contemporânea (Renshon, 1977;Wasburn & Covert, 2017), mas o seu estudo implica uma abordagem de natureza multidisciplinar. A análise que aqui propomos utiliza subsídios teóricos de distintas áreas disciplinares, em particular da ciência política e da sociologia, contudo os estudos da comunicação servirão de fio condutor para tecermos o estado da arte no que concerne ao papel dos media como agentes de socialização política.…”

“…It is crucial to consider that adolescents are in the process of citizen formation. In this sense, the literature on political socialization at school age shows that political attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and behaviour vary according to the socialization experience in the family and at school (Abendschön, 2013; Cox & Castillo, 2015; Wasburn & Covert, 2017). Consequently, we ask a second question: how are changes in the levels of legitimation of political violence caused by a mass, radical, contentious event conditioned by political socialization processes at home and school?…”

Can exposure to mass events with the presence of radical actions influence the legitimation of this type of protest in adolescents? How are changes in legitimation levels conditioned by socioeconomic status or by political socialization at home and school? To answer these questions, we used a sample of 1,203 students in their second year of secondary school in Chile who were surveyed as part of the School Citizenship Panel (Panel de Ciudadanía Escolar, PACES). In the middle of fieldwork in this study, the event known as the estallido social ('social outburst') stood out for its mass and presence of violence. We compare the students surveyed before and after this event. Contrary to our expectations, the students had similar levels of legitimation of radical actions before and after the estallido. We also found a trend towards moderation in students with a higher socioeconomic status, who had more frequent political conversations with their parents, and in students from schools that conduct civic education activities. In short, experiences of family and school political socialization can help lower an adolescent's support of radical actions in radicalized contexts. RESUMEN
