Self-Esteem, Alienation and Attitudes Toward School: A Study of Thai Students in Selected Vocational and Academic High Schools
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of this dissertation was to determine whether or not explanations for the disruptive behavior of large groups of Thai vocational students could be found through an investigation of their feelings of self-esteem, alienation from society, and attitudes toward their schools. The subject population for the study comprised 360 second-year students from three vocational-technical high schools and 200 second-year students from two academic high schools, all of which were located in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition, 15 vocational high school teachers at the subjects' high schools were interviewed. Three tests using the self-reporting technique, including the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, were administered to the subject population in Bangkok during June of 1979.
