本研究旨在了解桃園地區高中職學生的家庭溝通型態，學生的政治態度取向，並進一步探討兩者之間的關係，據以作成建議，供家庭教育，親職教育等為參考．經相關理論文獻探討後，決定自變項為家庭溝通型態，依變項為學生的政治態度，調節變項為學生性別，籍貫，家庭社經地位，家庭政治化程度，再進一步以自陳式問卷收集1066名高中職二年級學生有效樣本之資料，並以spss/p+統計套裝軟體加以處理．研究發現與結論有許多，主要包含如下：(1)學生家庭以一致型(概高社高)為多，其次依續為放任型(概低社低)，保護型(概低社高)，多元型(概高社低)．(2)學生的民主態度與公民責任感較佳，政治效能感與政治信任較差．(3)整體而言，概念取向的家庭溝通型態較社會取向者有利於學生公民責任感，政治效能感，與政治信任的培養，而在民主態度方面則是兩種家庭溝通型態之間無顯著差異存在．
