Data for: Socializing Policy Feedback: The Persistent Effects of Adolescent Policy Program Use on Political Behaviors and Attitudes in Adulthood

<h3>Project Overview</h3>
<p>Adolescence is a critical period for political development. Different political attitudes, political behaviors, and political interests tend to develop during adolescence and persist into adulthood. Welfare participation is associated with lower political participation and pessimistic views of politics among adults, yet we have not uncovered the extent to which welfare participation in adolescence affects political outcomes in adulthood. This project aims to address the disconnect in the literature between what we know about the effects of welfare program experiences and what we know about individual political development.</p>
