Have you noticed that in recent years, tensions amongst family members with opposing political views have increased? With the help of mainstream media, the rise of political (and sometimes controversial) giants such as Donald J. Trump, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and others further divided an already fractured America. Political tolerance within familial relationships have decreased over the years, with some relationships irrevocably broken due to polarizing views. This writing presents an explanation for the research approach that the researcher plans to use to measure the quality of family relations in terms of political ideologies. Due to polarizing views, some family members would rather sever relations as they see it as the morally right thing to do. Others resort to silence for fear of being labeled a racist or fascist by an intolerant family member.
The major research interest for this study was to discover the breadth of perceived political intolerance that family members have towards one another. Furthermore, this study seeks out the role that religious affiliation has with political tolerance amongst families. The researcher will employ the quantitative method and use the EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) steps to determine the political intolerance within familial relationships. This method will be used to gather data about varying subjects. The researcher employed the quantitative method and use the EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) steps to develop OEPS instrument with a total variance, 85.76%, p< 0.01, KMO>0.6 with a Principle Component and Varimax approach.The multiple regression with the stepwise approach showed that IV1 and supervisor IV2 are the two major factors contributing to the DV, p< 0.001.
