Political socialization is the process by which individuals develop their political attitudes, beliefs, and values, often influenced by family, education, media, and culture. This process occurs through interactions that expose individuals to political ideas, such as discussions at home or exposure to news and political events in society. As individuals engage with these factors, they form a personal political identity that affects their voting behavior and civic participation. Understanding political socialization is critical for grasping how societal changes impact individual political views over time.
