| Abstract | |
This thesis studies the political values of successive groups of young people "in formation" in the Brazil's recent democratization as compared to its older fellow citizens, who lived, at least, the military regime. The study is based on longitudinal analysis of national surveys carried out in 1989, 1993 and 2006 and the variables used are the preference for political regimes, the trust in representative institutions, the perception of the political efficacy, the voluntary vote, the habits of discuss and access at political information and participation associations or communities in the neighborhood or city. From the scenario of the majority adherence to the democracy of the Brazilian citizens and its paradoxes, data analysis was based on descriptive and exploratory statistics to visualize the generational patterns transmission in the changes and continuities of the political culture of the Brazilian and the extent to which young people lived their "formative years" in the time of the Brazilian democratization accompanied those attitudinal trends. The statistical procedures used (tests of association, logistic regression and cluster analysis) showed no remarkable differences in political values of Brazilian citizens related to their birth cohort. Through the period, only the political distrust sustained levels decreased from the youngest cohort to the oldest one, leading to ask whether the age differences in political distrust were not effects of "life cycle" of citizens or compositional effects, taking into seen rising levels of education of the Brazilian youth during the studied period. A longitudinal comparison of distrust of individuals in the same age groups showed that the differences by age were also significant but diminutive through the period. On the other hand, when comparing the impact of schooling on the distrust for age groups, the effect on young people in "formative years" was even less than about older fellow citizens. Over time, the control of the degree's instruction affected, however, the preference for the political regime; this suggest the youth depends on the mediation of school learning for the formation of their political preferences, since they didn't live the authoritarian regime (AU) | |
