520 $a The results of this study provide insights for recommendations for educational practices about youth civic engagement in Thailand, and implications for comparisons with research in Western nations are discussed.
520 $a This study explores the issue of youth civic engagement in Thailand and examines the role of specific variables (parenting characteristics, school characteristics, media exposure, and Thai cultural values) in predicting components of civic engagement in a sample of Thai adolescents. The sample consisted of 1,015 students in 10th through 12th grades (primarily ages 15-18), in two secondary schools near Bangkok in Nonthaburi area (N=510 and N=505 from each school). Dependent variables measured were civic knowledge, civic skills, civic attitudes and civic participation; a standardized composite of these four variables was also included. Independent variables measured were parents' civic attitudes and parenting practices, school characteristics, media exposure, and three Thai cultural values described by Buasri, a prominent Thai educator---Respect, Group Cohesion, and Wisdom. The relationships between dependent and independent variables were examined through two separate statistical procedures: stepwise regression and analysis of variance. In the regressions, a regression equation was modeled for each dependent variable from all independent variables, yielding five equations in all. In the ANOVAs, for each independent variable the sample was divided into high, middle, and low scoring groups, and the means of the groups were compared for each dependent variable.
520 $a Results show that all independent variables were significant predictors of civic engagement in some respects. The Buasri Thai cultural values tended to be the strongest predictors, significantly predicting civic knowledge, attitudes, and overall engagement in the regression analyses, and all dependent variables in the ANOVAs. In the regressions, both schooling and media exposure significantly predicted civic attitudes, participation and engagement, while parenting significantly predicted civic skills and participation. The ANOVAs revealed a much stronger pattern of association; the only relationships that were not highly significant were civic knowledge and civic skills with media exposure, and civic participation with parenting. Differences between the regressions and ANOVAs in the patterns of findings they produced are discussed. In addition, the associations of the independent variables with demographic variables (age, GPA, etc.) are explored.
