DESCRIPTION:Parents have often been identified as primary socializing agen
 ts\, and this is no different for political socialization.  However\, in t
 he past\, the exploration of parental influence has been largely confined 
 to a social learning model of direct transmission\, where children passive
 ly replicate the political values of their parents.  In addition\, scholar
 s have focused predominately on the explicitly political content of the pa
 rent-child relationship.  In this presentation\, I advocate analyzing the 
 broader and more subtle aspects of parental influence and parent-child dyn
 amics.  To demonstrate\, I examine whether nonpolitical parenting behavior
 s affect a number of different political outcomes.  This work supports a m
 ore advanced conceptualization and model of “upbringing” in individual
  political development.  The work also provides a basis for a more complex
  socio-cognitive theory of parental influence in political understanding.
