Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study, 1965-1997: Four Waves Combined

The Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study is a series of surveys designed to assess political continuity and change across time for biologically-related generations and to gauge the impact of life-stage events and historical trends on the behaviors and attitudes of respondents. A national sample of high school seniors and their parents was first surveyed in 1965. Subsequent surveys of the same individuals were conducted in 1973, 1982, and 1997. This data collection combines all four waves of youth data for the study. The general objective of the data collection was to study the dynamics of political attitudes and behaviors by obtaining data on the same individuals as they aged from approximately 18 years of age in 1965 to 50 years of age in 1997. Especially when combined with other elements of the study as released in other ICPSR collections in the Youth Studies Series, this data collection facilitates the analysis of generational, life cycle, and historical effects and political influences on relationships within the family. This data collection also has several distinctive properties. First, it is a longitudinal study of a particular cohort, a national sample from the graduating high school class of 1965. Second, it captures the respondents at key points in their life stages -- at ages 18, 26, 35, and 50. Third, the dataset contains many replicated measures over time as well as some measures unique to each data point. Fourth, there is detailed information about the respondents' life histories. Background variables include age, sex, religious orientation, level of religious participation, marital status, ethnicity, educational status and background, place of residence, family income, and employment status.

《青年与父母社会化面板研究》是一系列旨在评估与生物学相关代际之间随时间推移的政治连续性与变迁，以及衡量生命阶段事件和历史趋势对受访者行为和态度影响的调查。该研究首次对1965届高中毕业生及其父母进行全国性抽样调查。随后的调查分别在1973年、1982年和1997年对同一群体进行。本数据集汇集了研究中的四次青年数据波次。数据收集的总体目标是通过对个体从1965年约18岁至1997年50岁之间的成长过程进行数据收集，研究政治态度与行为的动态变化。特别是当与其他发布的ICPSR青年研究系列中的其他研究要素相结合时，本数据集有助于分析代际、生命周期和历史效应以及政治影响对家庭内部关系的作用。此外，本数据集还具有几个显著特性。首先，它是对特定代际的纵向研究，即来自1965届高中毕业生班级的全国性样本。其次，该数据集捕捉了受访者在生命阶段的关键节点——18岁、26岁、35岁和50岁时的状态。第三，数据集包含了随时间推移的许多重复性测量以及一些每个数据点独特的测量。第四，数据集包含了受访者详细的生活历史信息。背景变量包括年龄、性别、宗教倾向、宗教参与程度、婚姻状况、民族、教育状况和背景、居住地、家庭收入和就业状况。
