- Abstract
Substantial research effort over the past few decades has aimed to explain how young people understand, feel, and participate in politics. However, this growing literature remains fragmented across several research disciplines, including psychology. This article proposes youth political engagement (YPE) as a concept that can be used to capture the varying forms of political expressions under a unifying theme in adolescence. The objectives of this review are to define YPE, to outline the conceptual structure of YPE, to consider how YPE may develop from diverse antecedents, and to offer directions for future research. Overall, YPE offers a unifying theme of research to better understand the political sphere of adolescent development.
