YOUNG ADULTHOOD; THE EFFECTS OF A CİVİC CONTEX
INTRODUCTİON The word of “CITIZENSHIP” means
being a member of a country
As a member of a country every individual has positive or negative attitudes towards to civic context

HYPOTHESIS: Living within a consistent civic context
leads to civic engagement in late adolescence and into young adulthood
Investigating whether social context during early adolescence has an effect in civic behavior in late adolescence
AIM:
Erikson’s (1966) Theory of Development
an identity search begins in early adolescence and internal and external experiences during childhood and adolescence are accumulated and lead to a commitment to particular values and beliefs.
Colby & Damon’s (1999) Moral Socialization Theory

Procedure
Data were collecting historical periods
It started at 1991 and took 6 waves to end Use only 3 waves for this article

Factor analysis and structural equation model (SEM) used for statistical data

RESULTS Youth who were involved in religious activities in early
adolescence showed more civic participation in late adolescence.
There was a positive correlation between civic engagement in early adolescence and civic participation in late adolescence.
