Goals
"In this study, we make use of the advantages of longitudinal panel data in order to explore how young people's public orientation develops during a phase in life (13–20) described as being critical for political socialization. More specifically we investigate the main longitudinal effects of young people's engagement in four different Internet spaces (a news space, a space for social interaction, a game space and a creative space). Before describing the methods and results, in the next section we will discuss the two key concepts of the study: public orientation and Internet spaces." (Authors, 169)
