“…In addition to the examination of individual and social influences, we controlled for the effects of the socio-structural variables age and gender: Considering gender differences, male participants reported higher levels of agreement for intentions to participate in politics, attitudes toward political behaviors, and internal political efficacy. This pattern generally fits the existing literature on gender differences indicating that especially traditional politics is rather seen as a “man’s game” (Alozie, Simon, & Merril, 2003; Kuhn, 2010). Age differences were only found for young adults’ intentions to participate in politics at Time 2.…”

Drawing on data from a three-wave longitudinal study, the present research examined predictors of young adults' intentions to participate in politics and their actual political activities while referring to the broader assumptions of the theory of planned behavior. The analyses were based on a sample of university students from the federal state of Thuringia, Germany. The results showed that attitudes toward political behaviors and internal political efficacy beliefs explained changes in students' intentions to participate in politics. However, the perceived meaning that political participation has for important others had no additional effect. Furthermore, students' intentions to participate in politics and their internal political efficacy beliefs predicted changes in their actual behaviors. Together, the findings supported the theory of planned behaviors as a useful framework helping to predict young adults' intentions and actual involvement in political activities.

“…Both forms are frequently based on values of caring or social awareness, which, in turn, seem to be more pronounced among girls (Hurrelmann, Linssen, Albert, & Quellenberg, 2002). Boys, however, often report stronger intentions when it comes to conventional forms of involvement (e.g., joining a political party, running for office) (e.g., Hooghe & Stolle, 2004;Kuhn, 2010). To our knowledge, studies have rarely addressed gender differences concerning adolescents' attitudes whether people should generally be engaged in political activities.…”

Drawing on data from a longitudinal cohort‐sequential project, the present study examined developmental trajectories of adolescents’ attitudes toward political engagement and their willingness to participate in politics from grade 7 to 11 while accounting for the influence of school track and gender. Moreover, stabilities on the dependent variables were assessed. The results revealed differential trajectories regarding adolescents’ educational level. Increases were mainly shown for students attending the college‐bound school track. Generally, both orientations toward political behaviors were shown to become more stable throughout the adolescent years. Together, the findings confirmed adolescence to be a crucial period in life concerning the emergence, consolidation, and development of political points of view.

“…We also controlled for gender. Empirical evidence on gender differences in this area is not consistent and underlines that gender‐related patterns strongly depend on the active citizenship dimension taken into account (see Kuhn, , for a detailed summary).…”

Differential effects of school experiences on active citizenship among German and Turkish‐origin students

While research suggests that schools can foster active citizenship among youth, studies have not tested whether ethnic minority youth may benefit differently from school experiences than ethnic majority youth. In this study of 219 students (138 German majority and 81 Turkish-origin minority; M = 18.26; 55% females), we examined the association between different experiences at school and 4 indicators of youth active citizenship, controlling for various socio-demographic characteristics. Although value of social studies was associated with three out of four active citizenship indicators among both ethnic groups, the effects of the other school-related variables on active citizenship were moderated by ethnicity. Specifically, indicators of classroom climate, such as open classroom climate and classroom community, were only associated with greater active citizenship among Turkish-minority youth, while participatory factors, such as engagement in school decisions, were only associated with active citizenship among native German youth.
