Abstract
The purposes of this research were: 1) to study the factors affecting desirable characteristics of an ASEAN citizen of Mathayomsuksa three (M.3) students in the lower northern region of Thailand and 2) to test the invariant model of the factors.
Four-hundred and thirty-six (436) participants include Mathayomsuksa three (M.3) students whose schools participated in an ASEAN Development program and those whose schools did not. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires assessing desirable characteristics of an ASEAN citizen, information accessibility, inquiry characteristics, and self-immunity. Data were analyzed with path analysis and multiple group analysis. The result showed that had a direct effect on the desirable characteristics of an ASEAN citizen. A model form was invariant between the two groups of students. Path coefficients of information to desirable characteristics of an ASEAN citizen and information accessibility to self-immunity were different. Moreover, the latent mean of self-immunity was also different between the two groups.
