Familia y socialización política en la democracia colombiana: Transferencia de valores políticos

Th rough this study we investigated the process of political socialization transmitted by the family to the students of the Simón Bolívar University in face of the practices of participatory democracy and the transference of political values. Political socialization has been studied by various authors; in 1959, Hyman coined the term. In the methodological framework were taken epistemic assumptions present in Political Science that gave account of the primary and secondary agents of political socialization. From the paradigmatic point of view one worked under the macro hermeneutic mold. Th is qualitative study allowed us to obtain data that became information mediated by a natural and daily environment where the students of the Simon Bolivar University belonging to the families of the Colombian Caribbean were immersed. Th e political analysis was approached from the psychosocial approach since under its optics the electoral behavior of the citizens and the process of political socialization of the new generations have been studied, among others. As a conclusion, it is important to emphasize that the lack of information on political participation indicates that the students did not receive an adequate process of political socialization on the part of the family, which exposes the population to political illiteracy, So that the practices of participatory democracy that students acquire will depend on the particular characteristics of each one, the network of interactions, motivation, political coincidence and the educational and communicative family climate.
