Út a Fideszhez. Politikai szocializációs utak a pártválasztáshoz a magyar egyetemisták körében
The road to Fidesz Political socialization paths to party choice among Hungarian students

Summary/Abstract: Several publications have been published on the party election of Hungarian students in the last decade. These analyses suggest that the paths of young people to parties may be related to the composition of the family of origin, the socio-cultural environment, the peer group’s design, and the socialisation mechanisms of the school system. However, few studies have examined the dimensions of socialization dynamically and analyzed how a young person is associated with a particular party through political socialization pathways. Our research uses complex SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) models to draw the typical paths that lead to Fidesz with high statistical probability. We assume that sufficient time has passed since the regime change to develop a typical pathway to the dominant party based on party identification. Our results show that religiosity is a crucial factor in the attachment to Fidesz among university students. At the same time, conservatism defi ned along values do not play a role, but positioning on the left-right axis is an essential discriminatory factor.
