碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 93 === In this study, the political socialization process, which includes the family factor, school factor, fellows factor and mass media factor, of the junior high school students were explored and analyzed by using a questionnaire survey. The object of this study is to understand the diverse effects in political study, which includes the basic political view, democratic value and democratic attitude, of students with different social background. Some findings in the study are: （1）First of all, parent’s occupation and ethnic group are mostly relevant to student’s character in terms of family political socialization factors (PSF). But the school PSF is more relevant to gender and year of study. Besides that, there is a slightly relevance between the use of media, gender and year of study. The fellows PSF is more connected to gender, year of study, parent’s job and ethnic group. (2) The PSF of gender, year of study, parent’s job and ethnic group, national identity are clearly correlated to national identity, the definition of national territory, the relationship between Taiwan and China, the definition of Chinese in nationality, and the relationship between Taiwanese and Chinese in terms of students’ basic political attitude. However, among them, the gender factor is less relevant than the others. （3）In respect to student’s characters with the democratic value, gender factor is relevant to political equality and majority governance; and year of study, parent’s job are relevant to democratic belief, political equality, majority governance, party competition and political trust. There are also some relevance between gender and political participation; year of study and political effects, citizen responsibility and political knowledge while talking about student characters with democratic attitude. However, overall speaking, democratic attitude less relevant to student characters compared with democratic value.
