Sociopolitical development during adolescence and emerging adulthood

Proposal

Sociopolitical development, or a consciousness of and motivation to reduce sociopolitical inequality, has been found to be a protective factor for adolescents and emerging adults of color in terms of effectively handling sociopolitical barriers in their career development.  This study extends the research by looking at sociopolitical development among a vulnerable population of young people—those with undocumented status.
