In the past 30 years, rapid technological progress and the transition to democracy in Mongolia have brought about significant changes in all social sectors, in particular in the political values, attitudes and forms of youth participation. Factors such as digital expansion, improved access to information and a decrease in trust in political institutions have made youth's participation in politics more complex and varied. Traditional forms of participation (such as voting) remain important, but “expressive” and digital forms of participation are increasingly dominant among younger generations. This paper examines changes in Mongolian youth's political values from the point of view of behavior theory, focusing on the relationship between individual political behavior, psychological factors and the external environment. The study analyzes the perception of political processes by modern youth and the factors that affect their decisions and aims to define the current situation and future trends in Mongolia's youth's political participation.
