Abstract:

This paper presents a research that was carried out in schools of central Macedonia in Greece about the degree of students’ politicization. The concept of politicization was delineated using five different variables that describe students’ way of thinking about different aspects of their reality. The findings show that peer group was considered to be the most important socializing factor which has a determining role in the political socialization of students. The degree of politicization is equivalent with the attendance in bars and the frequent watching of political programs on television.
