i dont think this is a straightforward matter at all.
take for example the first parameter in the op--parents. think about the number of ways in which "influence" can be defined. think about the range of reactions that such influence can engender. think about the many ways in which a response which begins, say, as a reaction against can modulate over time.

where does the notion of "the world" that people have come from? what conditions the sense of "fit" that might obtain between that sense/those senses (because they are not necessarily internally consistent) of "the world" and political statements?
(and what is a political statement? is it normative? descriptive? is there a difference? what is it?)

what makes you think that socio-economic situation is some kind of objectivity? situation in relation to what?
do you imagine socio-economic situation is measurable by, say, income level taken in isolation?
on what possible basis?
does that mean income level is not relevant?
on what possible basis?

it just gets worse.

thinking about this tho.
maybe something will occur to me.
or someone else, really.
