Political Socialization and Policy Evaluation: The Case of Youth Employment and Training Program.

Nedwek, Brian P.

Evaluation and Program Planning, v10 n1 p35-42 1987

The unintended impact of an employment and training program on the political orientations of participants is investigated. The post program attitudes toward citizenship of 286 CETA-eligible youth are compared with a randomly assigned control group. Results indicate that political orientations of experimentals are significantly higher than control group members. (Author/LMO)
