Reviews
"Of all the institutions political scientists study, the home often gets short shrift. And yet it is where we form our most intimate relationships that, in turn, shape our worldview. It makes sense that families are the seedbeds of one's political perspective. In this book, R. Urbatsch makes the case that families matter, by moving from bromide to careful analysis to show us how, when, and why the home affects political attitudes." --David E. Campbell, Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame "Families' Values is a lucidly-written, intriguing demonstration of how the structure and composition of families can affect people's political attitudes in their roles as parents and as siblings. By going beyond traditional approaches and with the use of national survey data, the book documents several illuminating examples and opens up a number of possibilities for enriching our understanding of familial influences." --Kent Jennings, Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, and Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan "Past research on the role of families in political socialization has focused primarily on the transmission of partisanship from parents to offspring. This research breaks new ground in looking at a variety of other, subtler family influences, in a highly innovative, creative, out-of-the-box mode. We learn about stay-at-home-moms, siblings, birth order, and mother-father differences. A definite step ahead." --David O. Sears, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Political Science, UCLA, "Of all the institutions political scientists study, the home often gets short shrift.

Synopsis
One of the central questions in politics is from where people derive their tastes and opinions. Why do some people embrace the free market, while others prefer an interventionist state? From where do preferences for a vigorous foreign policy or for sterner policing of moral issues come? As has been shown, political preferences may be influenced by perceived benefits, the media, or public intellectuals. But less in known about the influence of family on political attitudes. Some mechanisms of family influence are well known: people tend to share their parents' political philosophies, while those with young children have heightened concern for child-related policies like education. But family members are likely to have far richer and more varied effects than those traditionally considered. Families' Values considers the ways that the everyday behavior of family members systematically and unconsciously influence political preferences. For example, does having a mother who works outside the home lead children to, when grown, have more liberal ideologies? Or, might having a son who could potentially be drafted into the armed forces influence a parent to become a pacifist? Drawing on surveys from the United States and the United Kingdom, the book looks at the ways in which parents, siblings, birth order, gender, and socioeconomics influence opinions on issues from war to the welfare state to abortion. It demonstrates that family relationships play a crucial and multi-faceted role in the way that people experience, learn about, and practice politics., Parents attempt to impart particular political values to their children, but the political worlds of families contain many more varied relationships and mechanisms. This book pulls back the curtain on those less-studied patterns to consider the multi-faceted ways in which various family dynamics systematically affect a person's political beliefs., One of the central questions in politics is from where people derive their tastes and opinions.

But family dynamics are likely to have far richer and more varied effects on political attitudes than those traditionally considered. Families' Values considers the ways that the everyday behaviors of family members systematically and unconsciously influence political preferences. For example, does having a mother who works outside the home lead children, when grown-up, to have more liberal ideologies? Or, might having a son who could potentially be drafted into the armed forces influence a parent to become a pacifist? Drawing on surveys from the United States and the United Kingdom, R. Urbatsch looks at the ways in which parents, siblings, birth order, gender, and socioeconomics influence opinions on issues from war, to the welfare state, to abortion. Through compelling analysis, he demonstrates that our family relationships play an enormously crucial and multi-faceted role in the way that we experience, learn about, and practice politics.
