Intergenerational Transmission of Political Orientations in Migrant Families
Quick fact
Research shows that parents' political preferences are generally a strong predictor of children's orientations, but in migrant families this link is significantly weaker—meaning children of immigrants are more likely to form their own political identities, often differing from their parents.
Why this is interesting
Think about the last political argument you had with your parents. If your parents moved from another country, did you find yourself agreeing with them... or with the host country? Why might your political views be different from theirs?
