Urbatsch, Robert,

Families' values : how parents, siblings, and children affect political attitudes / R. Urbatsch. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Families are a pervasive influence in life, yet their influence on political beliefs has been little studied beyond the idea that parents and spouses pass along their beliefs. This book explores a broader set of links between family circumstances and political attitudes. It provides evidence that behaviours without explicit political intention - such as choosing to work or to take multiple children to the same extracurricular activities - can shape the ideologies of close relatives and that siblings and children can by their very existence inflect policy preferences.
