Students and politics. The research of emotional attitudes component
Abstract
The liberal democracy assumes that the most crucial factor of system legitimization, the issue of
common political participation, especially electoral activity. Realizing this goal is possible through
creating the attitudes of participation, mostly among the generation starting the adult life. One
of the goals realized on various stages of educational teaching programs is increasing social and
political engagement of teenagers, creating citizenship attitude and as a result increasing active
participation of the youth in politics. Creating emotional side of the attitude- not only in relations
to the politics- is far easier than cognitive or behavioral component. In the subject literature the
impact of emotions on creating the attitudes is widely described. In the object literature the role
of emotions in creating the attitudes (also political ones) is widely described. Positive emotions in
many cases are the conditions for certain behaviours towards attitude objects. It might be assumed
that positive feeling about politics and political institutions will result in greater effectiveness in the
sphere of political society. This thesis analyses the conditions of students attitudes towards politics
and dependencies between experienced emotions and the issues including political engagement,
citizenship attitude, nationalistic attitude. The thesis shows mutual changes between them. The question
which has been also analyzed is the issue of political socialization subjects in creating positive
feelings about politics. The results of the analyses performed showed dominating role of media in
creating emotional attitudes towards politics as not traditional socialization agendas such as family,
school or church. The results obtained present also what personal and sociodemographic features of
the questioned are linked to their positive emotions in the researched area. The most crucial personal
property appeared to be optimism, while sociodemographic variable is parents education
