Abstract
This study examined whether appraisals of 45th U.S. President Donald J. Trump by 1433 adolescents (Mage =16.1, SDage =1.16, Female=56.9%, Latinx=43.6%, White=35.7%, Black=12.6%, Asian=5.8%) predicted change from 2017 to 2018 across four dimensions of sociopolitical development (SPD): marginalization, critical analysis, civic efficacy, and political action. Trump supporters declined in awareness of inequality and race consciousness but increased in voting intentions. Trump detractors increased in awareness of inequality, race consciousness, and experiences of discrimination. Trump supporters and detractors increased in civic efficacy compared to youth with no opinion. Additional findings were moderated by race and ethnicity. Findings suggest adolescents' SPD has been shaped in distinct ways by the Trump era.
