The Study of Socialization Factors which have Influenced to the Public Mind of Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University Students

Abstract

In this study, the researcher had the objectives which are 1) To investigate socialization factors which have influenced the public mind of the student. 2) To study the relationship between socialization factors and public mind of the student and 3) To find a predictative equation of the public mind of the students from socialization. The research population consisted of 400 undergraduate students at Muban Chombueng Rajabhat
University. The researcher analyzed the data collection in terms of frequency, percentage, average, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient technique and multiple regression. All the test statistics are statistically significant
at the .05 level. The results could be summarized as follows: 

1. The students’ overall level of socialization and the public mind are at the high level. 2. For the investigation of the relationship between socialization and public mind of the Students at Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University, the researcher found that socialization at school (X₂) and the public mind (y) showed the highest correlation coefficient at .525. Secondly, socialization through peer groups (X₃) and public mind (y), displayed a correlation coefficient of .431. Thirdly, socialization in the family(X₁) and public mind(y), evinced a correlation coefficient of .387. Lastly, socialization through the mass media (X₄)and public mind (y) manifested a correlation coefficient of .358. All of these correlations were at the statistically significant level of .01 3. Socialization at school (X₂), socialization through peer groups (X₃) and socialization through the mass media (X₄) could be used as predictor variables for student public mind. Accordingly, these variables allow for the framing of a predictive equation as follows:
