Adolescents' political socialization is crucial for their future political participation. Little research has examined this relationship and the importance of citizenship self-efficacy in an Asian context. This study focused on the effectiveness of Korean adolescents' political socialization and self-efficacy on their expected electoral participation. Data from Korean 8 graders participating in the 2016 International Civic and Citizenship Education Study were examined (N = 2601; M = 14.02; 46% female). Political socialization included open classroom discussion, active learning strategies, and formal citizenship education. The result showed that citizenship self-efficacy is the most important predictor for Korean adolescents' future engagement, but open classroom discussion is not significant. It indicates that citizenship education needs to consider countries' social and cultural contexts.
青少年的政治社会化对其未来的政治参与至关重要。在亚洲背景下，很少有研究探讨这种关系以及公民自我效能感的重要性。本研究聚焦于韩国青少年政治社会化及其自我效能感对其预期选举参与的有效性。对参与2016年国际公民与公民教育研究的韩国八年级学生的数据进行了考察（N = 2601；M = 14.02；46%为女性）。政治社会化包括开放课堂讨论、主动学习策略和正式公民教育。结果表明，公民自我效能感是韩国青少年未来参与度的最重要预测因素，但开放课堂讨论并不显著。这表明公民教育需要考虑各国的社会和文化背景。
