FAMILY TIES AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
研究发现家庭纽带越强，个人的公民参与和政治参与越低，且强家庭纽带替代了普遍信任，基于32个国家的移民数据得出。
We establish an inverse relationship between family ties and political participation, such that the more individuals rely on the family as a provider of services, insurance, transfer of resources, the lower is one's civic engagement and political participation. We also show that strong family ties appear to be a substitute for generalized trust, rather than a complement to it. These three constructs-civic engagement, political participation, and trust- are part of what is known as social capital; therefore, in this paper, we contribute to the investigation of the origin and evolution of social capital. We establish these results using within-country evidence and looking at the behavior of immigrants from various countries in 32 different destination places.
