Variables Related Sufficiency Living Behaviors of Mathayom Suksa 3 Students under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 28

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to investigate the variables which related to Sufficiency living behaviors of Mathayom Suksa 3 students.  The samples were 400 Mathayom Suksa 3 Students under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 28 in the second semester, academic year 2014.  There were seven predicted variables, namely : Authoritative parenting, Receiving sufficiency model, Social support, Belief in internal locus of control, Future-orientation and self-control, Need for achievement, and Attitude toward Sufficiency living behaviors. The criterion variables were Sufficiency living behaviors of Mathayom Suksa 3 students.

The research findings were as follows :

1. The seven predicted variables altogether could explain the variance of the scores of Sufficiency living behaviors of the students 61 percent.
2. There were the three best predicted variables of Sufficiency living behaviors of the students, namely : Future-orientation and self-control, Attitude toward Sufficiency living behaviors, and Belief in internal locus of control.
3. The equation predicting Sufficiency living behaviors of the students written in raw scores was Sufficiency living behaviors = 32.92 + 0.72 (Future-orientation and self-control) + 0.51 (Attitude toward Sufficiency living behaviors) + 0.21 (Belief in internal locus of control). The equation in standard scores of Sufficiency living behaviors of the students was Z_{Sufficiency living behaviors} = 0.48Z_{Future-orientation and self-control} + 0.31Z_{Attitude toward sufficiency living behaviors} + 0.13Z_{Belief in internal locus of control}
