THEORETICAL ASPECTS RELATED TO THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND THE PARTY ATTACHMENT FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE

Summary/Abstract: The political values of a society and the attitude of its citizens are transmitted through the mechanisms of the political socialisation, a life-long process. The socialisation process aims to adapt the individual’s personality to the norms of the society and the system of values manifested as political desiderates. There is a descendant trend to the level of the European societies for the electoral participation. The higher percentage to the local elections can be explained to a certain extent by the more profound interaction of the individuals with the necessity to find common solutions for the community. Values as the participation, the attitude toward the authority, and the ethnic and religious positioning are transmitted and developed since childhood in the family. The dedicated literature pays special attention to the so-called signals of vote transmitted to the children by the family or by one parent. These signals of vote will give birth to the concept of party identification, a work hypothesis in the field of political science and sociology, because the parents transmit to the children their party identification, a fact proved by many theories on the intergenerational transmission of the party attachment.
