    Predicting young adult civic involvement from adolescent activities and family structure: A social capital approach
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011) Brown, Tucker
    This study employs a life-course approach to investigate the role of participation in school-based extracurricular activities as a compensatory source of social capital for adolescents, particularly those reared in non-traditional families and the effect of participation on early adult outcomes. Using Waves I and III from the Add Health data, civic involvement in young adulthood is examined. Interestingly, adolescent extracurricular activities are no more important for children from alternative family structures. However, benefits of participation are still evident from this examination, even when controlling for measures of social capital. Survey analysis techniques which control for the complex sampling design in Add Health are used.

    Social capital and civic engagement
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011) Kapucu, Naim
    The term social capital has been identified as a collection of resources that either an individual or organization gains through a set of communal norms, networks, and sanctions. Social capital can be viewed on both the collective and individual resource front and has been studied, analyzed, and reported on the micro, meso, and macro levels. The article reviews the literature on social capital from different perspectives. Specifically, the article focuses on bonding, linking, and bridging social capital. It also provides a small empirical evidence of social capital among young adults with discussions for future research and implications for civic engagement and social capital.
