political attitudes
Definition
Political attitudes refers to young people's beliefs, ideological positions, and support for democratic or authoritarian principles that develop during late adolescence and early adulthood in response to psychological and sociopolitical circumstances. Future anxiety—characterized by feelings of pessimism and uncertainty about the future—shows complex associations with political attitudes. The relationship between future anxiety and political attitudes is moderated by emotion regulation strategies.
