Item Strategies for news presentation and management through Facebook Pages of mass media and online news pages in the digital era and a causal model of factors influencing news credibility perceived by receiversSupannee Somsri; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2025)This study aims to 1) study online news reporting on Facebook pages, 2) investigate the strategies for news presentation and management on Facebook pages of mass media and online news outlets in the digital era, 3) develop a causal model of factors affecting the credibility of Facebook pages operated by mass media and online news organizations, and 4) validate the congruence of the developed model with empirical data. A mixed-method research design is employed. To collect data for studying online news reporting on Facebook pages through keywords related to news reporting, a social listening tool is used. Results reveal that the top three frequently mentioned keywords are news headlines (58.0%), followed by media + incite (17.0%), and media + news presentation (6.0%), respectively. Among interaction behaviors, “likes” (83.0%) are the most frequently mentioned, followed by “haha” (8.0%), and “reactions and comments” (8.0%). Sentiment analysis indicates that negative sentiment is mentioned the most, followed by neutral and positive sentiments. Additional qualitative data are collected through document analysis and in-depth interviews with nine stakeholders across four Facebook pages: Thairath Online (n=2), Nation TV (n=2), Ejan (n=2), and Poetry of Bitch (n=1). The findings identify several strategic approaches to news presentation and management: iconic image, visual communication, storytelling, technology-driven data analytics, specialist-oriented, engagement, message design, attraction, and comment management strategies. These strategies are tailored to each organization’s context to attract and retain user attention while managing the processes of data gathering, content production, and dissemination through Facebook pages. For the quantitative research, structural equation modeling is used to develop a model of the causal factors influencing the credibility of news through Facebook pages of mass media and online news outlets in the digital age. A sample of 200 individuals who had followed all four Facebook pages: Thairath Online, Nation TV, Ejan, and Poetry of Bitch was selected. The research findings reveal that the developed model is consistent with the empirical data, as follows: 1) The causal model influencing the credibility of the Thairath Online Facebook page meets 6 model fit indices: Relative Chi-Square, GFI, AGFI, CFI, IFI, and SRMR. 2) The causal model influencing the credibility of the Nation TV Facebook page meets 7 model fit indices: Relative Chi-Square, GFI, AGFI, CFI, NNFI, IFI, and SRMR. 3) The causal model influencing the credibility of the Ejan Facebook page meets 6 model fit indices: Relative Chi-Square, GFI, AGFI, CFI, IFI, and SRMR. 4) The causal model influencing the credibility of the Poetry of Bitch Facebook page meets 6 model fit indices: Relative Chi-Square, GFI, AGFI, CFI, IFI, and SRMR. Based on these findings, it is recommended that mass media and online news outlets foster positive attitudes among audiences by aligning their presentation strategies with audience preferences. This includes presenting diverse and relevant content, using clear and engaging language, employing modern storytelling formats, crafting compelling headlines based on the principles of ethics, and adopting multifaceted communication strategies. Such efforts are essential to enhance the perceived credibility of Facebook news pages.Item Communication for creating experiences in authentic chef’s table businessesChaiyasith Mairungroj; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2025)The research titled “Communication for Creating Experiences in Authentic Chef’s Table Businesses” aims to 1) study the communication of consumer experience creation in the Authentic Chef’s Table business, 2) examine communication strategies for creating consumer experiences in the Authentic Chef’s Table business, and 3) develop a communication model that influences consumers in the Authentic Chef’s Table business. This study employed qualitative research methodology through in-depth interviews with five leading Authentic Chef’s Table business entrepreneurs and fifteen consumers with direct experience, including participant observation and documentary analysis of various forms of specialized and online media. The findings reveal that communication for experience creation in the Authentic Chef’s Table business comprises three key dimensions: 1) Pre-service communication, which involves setting expectations and preparation; 2) During-service communication, which emphasizes storytelling through food, ambiance, personal interaction between the chef and consumers, and the use of all five senses to enhance the experience; and 3) Post-service communication, which focuses on building long-term engagement and encouraging word-of-mouth through follow-up and the formation of consumer networks. These dimensions align with the dynamics of the Human-Experience-Continuum (HEC) Model, which includes Human-Driven Narrative, Seamless Integrated Experience, Technology-Augmented Intimacy, and Measurement & Adaptive Communication, viewing experience as a continuous process: before, during, and after consumption. Regarding communication strategies for creating consumer experiences in the Authentic Chef’s Table business, the study found that Experiential Marketing, Marketing 5.0, and Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) are employed to create “shared experiences” and “emotional engagement” between consumers and the brand at a deep level. The research results lead to a comprehensive model that reflects the application of Marketing 5.0 in creating a human-centric experience by integrating technology with warm human relationships, ultimately fostering loyalty and sustainability in the Authentic Chef’s Table food business.Item The development of the Thai film industry in the disruptive technology era: A case study of the mainstream cinemaKraiengkai Patanakunkomat; Asawin Nedpogaeo (National Institute of Development Administration, 2025)The research titled “The Development of the Thai Film Industry in the Disruptive Technology Era: A Case Study of the Mainstream Films” has the following research objectives: 1) To study the opportunities and obstacles of the mainstream Thai film industry in the era of disruptive technology, and 2) To study the approaches for the development of the mainstream Thai film industry in the era of disruptive technology. This research employs qualitative methods, utilizing content analysis and in-depth interviews as data collection tools with stakeholders in the mainstream Thai film industry. The criteria for selecting the sample group were that participants must be individuals who work in or are involved with the mainstream Thai film industry and have work experience or hold positions that are credible and recognized, from both the public and private sectors, totaling 44 persons. The research findings can be summarized as follows: There are a total of 24 variables related to opportunities and obstacles, which can be categorized into three main groups: 1) Internal Factors: Personnel and production teams, content or screenplay, film production techniques, artistic perspectives on filmmaking, film exhibition, film distribution, film marketing, quality of actors and actresses, and investors/financial backers. 2) External Factors: Government support, laws and regulations, formation of collaborative film networks, mechanisms for driving and integrating cooperation, development of film knowledge and educational institutions, film database systems and archiving, international acceptance of Thai mainstream films, changing audience preferences and tastes, and film award recognition. 3) Factors related to the impact caused by disruptive technology: Copyright infringement via online platforms, the impact of exposure to social media, the impact of film criticism through social media, the impact of video streaming services, the impact on film production costs, and trends of other future technological impacts As for the approaches to developing the mainstream Thai film industry, they can be summarized into 10 urgent issues to be focused on, which are: Solving government-related problems, amending film regulatory laws, establishing collaborative film networks, solving film distribution issues, setting appropriate ticket prices in accordance with the minimum wage, developing database and archival systems, enhancing film knowledge and educational institutions, promoting Thai mainstream films to international markets, creating the brand DNA of film production studios, and initiating personnel development programs in the Thai film industry.Item Signs and truth of immersive graphics in Thai television news programsChinnagrit Udomlappaisan; Asawin Nedpogaeo (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This research aims to study signs and truth of immersive graphics in the news Thai television news programs. The study employs textual analysis of immersive graphic works presented in news programs broadcasted on five digital terrestrial television stations between 2014 and 2022, totaling 13 samples. Additionally, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 individuals involved in the production process of immersive graphics: news editors, program producers, heads, and staff of graphic departments. The study on the aspect of communication of meaning through immersive graphics found that immersive graphics convey meanings through twelve key multimodal codes: scenographic codes, iconographic codes, graphic codes, photographic codes, film or cinematic codes, sound effect codes, linguistic codes, paralinquistic codes, kinesic codes, proxemic codes, dress codes, and ideological codes. These codes are transferred from traditional media and adapted for easier comprehension by the audience without requiring new learning. These multimodal codes work in concert to construct meaning and communicate concepts. Immersive graphics in television news programs are thus an attempt to create a presence of space that bridges the gap between reality and its representation, even though structural limitations of the medium prevent the complete elimination of this distance. Regarding the truth of immersive graphics in news reporting, it was found that subjectivity is significantly embedded, despite adherence to objectivity in journalistic reporting. Although producers reference factual evidence and empirical accuracy, the entire production process is permeated with the ideologies, values, and cognitive frameworks of the producers. This is evident in the selection of theme or content, the design of plot or narrative structure, character, scenes and setting components, as well as visual and auditory techniques. These elements constitute interpretations that reflect the perspectives of the producers and are embedded as nonverbal language within the work. Therefore, the truth of immersive graphics is a constructed truth, aimed at creating shared experience, not merely to convey information, but to establish a virtual environment that enables the audience to feel part of the event and to access the essence of the content more profoundly.Item Halal food discourse: Communicating Muslim identity and faith in Thai multicultural societyBunyat Thipmoud; Asawin Nedpogaeo; Winai Dahlan (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This research is a qualitative study aimed at examining the construction of halal food discourse and analyzing the communication of such discourse as an expression of the identity and faith of Muslims within Thailand’s multicultural society. Furthermore, it seeks to propose approaches for utilizing halal food discourse to promote social harmony, reconciliation, and mutual acceptance in a multicultural context. The research framework is based on Michel Foucault’s concept of discourse and the theory of symbolic interactionism. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with a total of 48 participants, comprising Muslims and non-Muslims, religious leaders, community leaders, halal food entrepreneurs, and scholars in the fields of communication and religion, within the area of Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The findings reveal that halal food discourse is not merely a religious practice but a process of constructing Muslim identity interconnected with power, knowledge, and social truth in a multicultural society. Halal food serves as a medium for expressing faith, identity, and negotiation of Muslims in a culturally diverse context. It also functions as a tool for fostering understanding across religions, peaceful coexistence, and social acceptance. Based on the in-depth analysis, the research proposes the “BUNYAT Model” (Belief, Understanding, Normativity, Yearning, Acceptance, and Transmission) as a means to utilize halal food discourse as a tool for promoting reconciliation and understanding in a multicultural society. In addition, it suggests relevant policy directions concerning halal diplomacy, the development of communication innovations, and the establishment of economic mechanisms to sustainably support the global halal market.Item The construction of queerness and the challenge to gender conventions in Omegaverse NovelsPunyarat Wanthong; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This research examines the construction of queerness through storytelling in Omegaverse novels and analyzes how readers decode and challenge gender conventions. Using qualitative methodology through textual analysis and in-depth interviews with general readers and readers with diverse sexual orientations, this study is grounded in queer theory as its theoretical foundation. The findings demonstrate that Omegaverse Novels construct queerness by creating a simulated or virtual universe with a hierarchical secondary gender structure (Alpha, Beta, and Omega) that challenges traditional binary gender systems. This genre creates an imaginative space for gender and sexual fluidity through narrative techniques that combine biological references with critiques of gender-based power relationships. In terms of readers, the research shows that they utilize online communities as platforms to exchange ideas, negotiate, and construct new meanings of gender identity and sexual relationships. Omegaverse Novels thus operate as a contested space with dual characteristics, namely reproducing certain gender ideologies while resisting mainstream gender conventions simultaneously. This phenomenon creates social spaces that enable cultural practices among marginalized groups within dominant gender discourse. Accordingly, the study offers significant academic contributions across various dimensions, i.e., literary studies, gender studies, communication arts, and an analysis of the contemporary cultural industry.Item Development of a structural equation model of digital marketing communication for the new normal tourismBhumikiattiyot Thesana; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This research aims to 1) study the digital marketing communication process and develop strategies for the new normal tourism, 2) collect factors influencing the intention to use technological innovations for the new normal tourism, and 3) develop a structural equation model of digital marketing communication in the new normal tourism. A mixed-method research approach was employed, consisting of qualitative research, conducted through in-depth interviews with key tourism agencies in Thailand and entrepreneurs who used or developed technological innovations for the new normal tourism; and quantitative research conducted by a survey study with a sample of 320 tourists in Bangkok. The research instrument is a questionnaire with a total reliability coefficient (Alpha Coefficient) of .910, divided as follows: Section 2 = .853, Section 3 = .813, and Section 4 = .841. The data was analyzed using SEM statistical techniques to develop a structural equation model that aligns with empirical data. The qualitative research finds that 1) in terms of internal communication patterns, key tourism agencies adopt a mixed communication pattern, namely one-way communication in the context of policies and formal and patterned-structure projects, and two-way communication for information exchange and collaboration within sub-groups. On the other hand, the private sector, due to its simpler organizational structure and emphasis on teamwork, primarily relies on two-way communication. 2) Regarding external communication patterns, key tourism agencies communicate with government offices, network affiliates, and the public to restore and raise awareness of the new normal tourism. At the same time, private companies focus on business-oriented communication, mainly for marketing benefits, through business-to-customer (B2C) interactions. 3) Concerning the new normal tourism communication process, both public and private sectors widely utilize technology and online media to disseminate information, enhance public awareness, and facilitate tourism recovery in response to changes and travelers’ behavior in the future. 4) For marketing communication strategies for new normal tourism, key tourism agencies prioritize high-quality and valuable message design that is direct, credible, clear, and accessible to all target groups, alongside the development of diversified communication channels that accord with different behaviors of tourist groups to ensure to reach all civic groups effectively. On the other hand, the private sector focuses on developing new marketing communication tools and channels by incorporating modern technological innovations to maximize communication efficiency. In quantitative research, the researcher synthesized factors influencing the intention to use technological innovations for the new normal tourism, collected data, and tested its consistency with empirical data. The findings indicate that the structural equation model of digital marketing communication factors influencing the new normal tourism accords with the empirical data with statistical significance at the 0.01 level, as shown by SRMR = 0.058 (< 0.08), and NFI = 0.945 (> 0.90). Additionally, it is found that digital marketing communication factors, perceived ease of use, and social influence have a positive direct effect on attitudes toward technological innovations for the new normal tourism and a positive indirect effect on the intention to use technological innovations for the new normal tourism.Item The branding of imaginary couples in boys’ love seriesIttithep Leenawarat; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This research aims to: 1) study the branding process of the “imaginary couples” in the Boys’ Love (BL) series, 2) examine the brand communication of the “imaginary couple” in the BL series with their fan groups, and 3) explore the fan groups’ perception of the “imaginary couple” brand in the BL series. The researcher studied two couples: Bright-Win and Yin-War. This study is qualitative research, using in-depth interviews as the primary tool for data collection. The participants included four BL series producers and marketing executives, as well as fan groups: five fans of Bright-Win and six fans of Yin-War. The research findings are as follows: 1) The Branding Process of the “Imaginary Couples” involves two approaches: (1) A full-scale conventional branding of an “imaginary couple,” starting from being actors in a BL series, leading to the emergence of an “imaginary couple” who can represent product brands, eventually becoming international idols and global brand ambassadors, such as the Bright-Win couple. (2) A brand extension approach where an already established and successful “imaginary couple” is featured in a BL series to further boost their popularity and name recognition, as seen with the Yin-War couple. 2) Brand Communication differs between the two companies studied. For the actors, Bright-Win, GMMTV chose to utilize online communication strategies through owned media to reach their teenage target audience, presenting content across multiple platforms to engage the target group. In contrast, fans of the Yin-War couple are more attached to the actors themselves than their characters in the series “Love Mechanics.” Therefore, WeTV Thailand primarily uses social media, focusing on Twitter and YouTube, as its communication strategy. Since WeTV Thailand does not own a television channel, Yin-War’s reach is not as broad as Bright-Win’s. 3) Perception of the Imaginary Couple’s Brand: The findings show that viewers initially like the characters in the series, leading to their interest in the actors. Fans admire the actors’ appearance, personality, and acting skills, which results in increased followership and the formation of fan groups. These fan groups primarily follow news and updates about the “imaginary couple” through social media channels, both of the actors and their affiliated companies and also maintain private group chats. Fans share similar memories and impressions, such as enjoying the actors’ appearance, acting skills, singing abilities, and natural on-screen chemistry. They also have shared experiences, such as attending events or buying concert tickets. Fans can recall each brand the couple represents as product endorsers and support those brands by purchasing their products. Most fans hope the “imaginary couple” will star in another BL series together again, and they are fully prepared to continue supporting the couple’s future endeavors.Item The development of indicators for virtual personal brand components on social mediaChutinun Kaewkatorn; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)The research aims to develop indicators of components that lead to overall effectiveness in the characteristics of virtual personal brands on social media. The study is divided into three phases. The first phase involves studying relevant theories and research, synthesizing them into a framework for considering indicator variables, grouping them, and using them to create a questionnaire for research using the Delphi technique in the second phase. The goal is to develop indicator variables and conduct confirmatory factor analysis in the final phase, using a sample of 352 Generation Z individuals who are knowledgeable about related topics and regularly use social media. The research findings show that among the three domain groups with 23 indicator variables, the domain group of indicators that best predicts the effectiveness of virtual personal brands on social media is the domain group showing effective characteristics of “brand elements,” consisting of 10 indicators ranked in order of influence from most to least: Clear Sign (Using clear and easily understood symbols), Visual Design Elements (All elements designed to exhibit their identities), Visual Distinction (Displaying unique appearance that is different from others clearly), Aesthetic (Beautiful), Recognition (Can be recognized upon seeing it), Symbolic (Conveying symbolic identity), Recall (Can be recognized without seeing it), Adaptability (Adaptable across values, time, and platforms), Consistency (Harmonized and utilized in the same direction), and Transferability (Adjustable to all regions and cultures). Next is the domain group showing effective characteristics of “brands and personal brands,” which consists of 7 indicators. Ranked in order of influence from most to least, these are Appearance (Possessing appearance that conveys personality clearly), Role Model (A prototype for the target group), Credibility (Credible), Memorability (Easily recognized or identified), Likability (Likable), Meaningful Association (Connecting with something meaningful), and Unique (Different characteristics). The domain group of indicators that predicts effectiveness the least well is the group showing effective characteristics of “virtual characters,” comprising 6 indicators: Expressiveness (Displaying clear and easy-to-understand expressions), Interaction (Responsive to designed characters’ attributes), Visual Attractiveness (Having attractive appearance), Human Profile and Persona (Having detailed personal and characteristics information), Psychological Human Resemblance (Expressing human-like emotions and feelings), and Physical Human Resemblance (Having components functioning like the human body). Overall, the results from the standardized factor loadings of the indicator variables in each domain show that external components that can be visually observed are critical, namely appearance, physical appearance, and clothing. It is also found that using design elements that are easily understood and clearly express identity helps in communication. In terms of interaction characteristics with receivers, although it must align with the defined identity, it does not necessarily need to have human-like appearance, emotions, or even realism.Item A health communication model of sook enterprise, Thai health promotion foundationThitirat Charoenyingwattana; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2024)This thesis entitled “A Health Communication Model of Sook Enterprise, Thai Health Promotion Foundation” was designed to achieve the following objectives: 1) to study key factors in designing message of health communication for Sook Enterprise, 2) to study communication channels and key drivers in health communication to foster participation in Sook Enterprise, and 3) to present a health communication model for Sook Enterprise to enhance public health promotion to improve well-being of Thai citizen.

Users are claiming that digital media platforms have become part of their daily routines and their communication channels. If this is the case, it is believed that depressed users are using digital media to stay connected, communicate and other purposes, inevitably. Therefore, the aim of this study is how clinically diagnosed depressed patients (users) are using the digital media and whether it is helping or worsen their depressive symptoms. This study used mixed methodology, using survey questionnaires and semistructured interviews. The participants were depressed patients who used digital media platforms, where they were asked to evaluate and report the usage and the effects that digital media has on them. The questionnaires were conducted to explore generic information regarding depressed patients’ usage intensity, where the interviews allow the author to understand the patient’s in-dept feelings and opinions on specific topics. The results were compared and analyzed accordingly. Participants admitted of using digital media platforms as part of their daily routines for different purposes. The self-reported results show that digital media is like a double-edged sword to them as there are certain features that help their symptoms, for example, group-forming feature that compensate their offline relationships and other user-generated features. Some content, however, is harmful and negatively impact their depressive symptoms. Contents like misleading information around mental illness and suicide incident reports from the digitized news media on these platforms are claimed to negatively impact patients’ depressive symptoms as it is one of the contributing factors to the public stigma around depression.Item Innovation of agricultural brand communication for value-added in Thai rubber to global marketSunantiga Pangchuti; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)The title of this study is “Innovation of Agricultural Brand Communication for Value-Added in Thai Rubber to Global Market”. The objectives of this study are 1) to study the brand building communications process of Thai rubber to create more value in the global market, 2) to study the brand communications strategy for Thai rubber to enter the global market and become Thailand’s business ambassador, 3) to study the factors that have an impact on propelling the Thai rubber brand to the global market, and 4) to develop the brand communications framework for developing Thai rubber as an agricultural product in the global market. This study employs the qualitative research methodology by categorizing the analyses into three parts as follow: The first part is Content Analysis. This part is the study of content analysis of National Strategy B.E. 2561-2580, Thailand 20-Year Natural Rubber Strategic Plan (B.E. 2560-2579), and Master plan of Rubber Authority of Thailand B.E. 2560-2564 (4th amended during B.E. 2562-2564) for analyzing the brand communication process, brand communication strategy and factors affecting communication on creating Thai’s rubber brand to global market. The second part is to study guidelines, strategies, process, procedure in selling Thai’s rubber products to international market, and factors affecting the communicated approach to add value to Thai’s rubber. In this part, the researcher studied rubber producers in Thailand by using the In-Depth Interview methodology. There are six key informants including government agency (Rubber Authority of Thailand), the rubber farmer institutes sector (Ban Khao Sok rubber fund cooperative, Chonburi province and the Trang rubber fund co-operative federation), Thai rubber entrepreneurs (Thai rubber Association and Thai Latex Concentrate Association) a licensed brokerage company) and Those with the role for making the decision to purchase Thai rubber (Triple and Forwarding Co., Ltd.: Licensed brokerage company). In the final part, this part is to study Consumers of Thai rubber products abroad by in-depth interviews for analyzing attitudes and behaviors in deciding to buy rubber goods and products from Thailand by focusing on effective communication approach, communication strategies for operating rubber businesses. Five key informants were personal communication from five countries including 1) Helsinco Middle East LLC, Dohar, Qatar, 2) Mohammed Ali Al-Ghamdi Trading Est., Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 3) Dhaishar Global Co. Ltd., Moulvibazar, Bangladesh and Hemingway Group, England, 4) Pai Cha Tar Wang Rubber Co., Ltd., the People’s Republic of China and 5) NORINCO Shanghai Co. Ltd., the People’s Republic of China, which is the main rubber market for Thailand. It was found that Thai Rubber’s Brand Communication for increasing value in the global rubber market is available to brand the Agricultural Commodity. Rubber goods and products are commodity goods and have different shapes and usages. These properties might be affected brand communication process in adding value in global market differently for brand creation process for raw rubber goods such as block rubber, smoked sheet rubber, fresh latex, concentrated latex, cup lump, etc. Rubber is well known in the international market because consumers buy for processing in various industries such as automotive industry, rubber glove industry, etc. Therefore, there is unnecessary to create brand for rubber products as each rubber producers, including rubber farmer institutes and rubber entrepreneurs, have their own commercial brands before export for traceability of goods. However, for the primary rubber raw material, if there is a need to add value to Thai’s rubber in global market, Brand Equity and Brand Perceived Quality are required for Brand Loyalty and Brand Awareness. The mentioned brand should be created under the title “Made in Thailand” to be a certified trademark. Government organization such as Rubber Authority of Thailand should communicate brand awareness for marking positive attitudes and perceptions of customer and increasing competitive advantage of Thai’ rubber with other rubber producing countries. Regarding the brand communication process for rubber products, Thailand should create a brand of rubber products under the name “Rubber Product of Thailand” and promote the image in the target markets for creating Brand Perceived Quality and Brand Awareness. This could enhance the acceptance of quality and standard of Thai’s rubber for the development of Thai’s rubber sector. In the view of consumer in the international market were known and were aware of the properties of Thai rubber in terms of quality from raw material rubber products. It could be said that rubber is an economic crop that consumers are known and familiar with on a global scale. Therefore, the brand communication process of rubber products must be linked to the brand of rubber goods. The type of raw material that is known and believes in quality with competitive advantage in the market compared to other countries. In addition, to make value on Thai rubber products, the creation of innovative rubber products and proactive marketing should be accelerated to create opportunities for Thai rubber products in the world market. The major strategy of Thai Rubber’s Brand Communication in the global market should be used Integrated Marketing Communication and Customer Relation Management Strategies because rubber goods and products are highly competitive as many countries also produce. The customers need to touch rubber goods and products through visiting the production process, communication with personal selling and try to use them for gaining confidence in rubber goods and products before making a purchase. The customer relation management strategy would enhance the customer confidence and brand royalty. This strategy might enhance existing customers to introduce rubber goods and products to other customers. However, guidelines for brand communication of rubber goods of new entrepreneur who need to export rubber to international market should be used price strategy for stimulating and persuading consumers to be interested in purchasing the goods. International customers who know Thai’ raw rubber brand for long time such as People’s Republic of China, the largest rubber consumer in Thailand and the world, would highly attention and concern about brand. Regarding guideline for marketing, integrated marketing communication strategy through sponsorship marketing/cooperation activities with companies or organizations in the targeted countries should be employed to be a communication and sell agents for customers. This strategy might strengthen confidence and acceptance for new brand to easily enter to market. Regarding Marketing Public Relation strategy and Brand ambassador marketing strategy, if Thailand has created rubber brand for global market as mentioned, these strategies could be used for communication and marketing for new rubber goods and products for adding value toward consumers. However, guidelines in developing Thai rubber to be a brand ambassador of agricultural products are needed to be developed in many aspects such as building knowledge, understanding, and integrating with many stakeholders including the government sectors, private sectors and rubber farmer institutes. As the first step, Thailand should use the mentioned strategies in term of communication by the government and Rubber Authority of Thailand should be a “Brand Ambassador” for the government to manage rubber system including marketing communication system. In addition, it was found that factors affecting brand communication for rubber goods and products are included 1) internal factors: government policy, human resource capability in research, innovation, and management, finance, production, and communication and marketing, 2) external factors: the market situation of rubber, competitors, and international consumer’s behavior and attitude. Therefore, conceptual framework of brand communication of Thai Rubber as agricultural commodity to global market will extend knowledge and apply conceptual framework and theory to practice of every stakeholder. This will benefit agricultural communication and business by develop and add value to agricultural product towards global level. This study could be a part of communication innovation which will benefit for agricultural sector, business sector, and other sectors.Item A journey to stardom: an analysis of celebrity construction and management of J Jetrin WattanasinSunantha Virameteekul; Warat Karuchit (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)The objective of the research was to study the celebrity construction and management of J Jetrin Wattanasin through the eras of communication media towards sustainable stardom. The study was qualitative research, conducted by three main research methods: a) documentary research, b) in-depth interviews with 24 key informants, classified into 10 groups: Pop Artist Celebrity, Sport Celebrity, Family Member, Close Friend, Colleague, Fan Club, Sport Expert, Entertainment Expert, Media Expert, and Academician, and c) participant observation. The findings showed that the factors affecting the celebrity construction of Jetrin are his personal factors, which cover his background and upbringing, his journey to stardom, and his personal characteristics; roles and influence of media, and his fan clubs. On the other hand, the strategies Jetrin uses to manage his celebrity are fan club maintenance, image management, crisis management and marketing communication, which are related to the Boorstin’s Concept of a Hero and Bourdieu’s Concepts of Capitals: Cultural, Economic, Symbolic, and Social Capital which can be transmitted across generations and converted from one into another and backward. All of these factors and strategies enable Jetrin to sustain his long-lasting stardom and to stand against the time for more than 20 years.Item Integrated financial communication framework: how interactivity, motivational design and behavioral economics enhance investment intentionEgkachai Angkawanich; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)The objective of this study is to develop the Integrated Financial Communication Framework (IFCF). The goal is to promote the knowledge and understanding necessary to achieve the objectives based on the investment intention of individual investors. Data was collected from investors, who used the Integrated Financial Communication System (IFCS), utilizing a questionnaire. The analysis of the data was conducted using PLS-SEM of the communication model, which is comprised of interactivity, gamification, learning motivation, information-processing, and risk aversion impact on investment intention. The second part is a content analysis of benefit of investing influencing factors that impact investing decision and behavioral bias. The research findings from the first part of the study indicated that learning motivation is important to the achievement of the goals of investment intention. This is followed by gamification and interactivity. It is also found that these two factors have to be modified to increase the effectiveness of communications. Thus, it is found that the PLS-SEM among individual investors have different responses to the factors. The findings from the second part of the study indicated that cognitive errors, were the group of factors that had the most influence of investment. It is the mediator between information-processing and risk aversion. This is followed by emotional biases, which is the mediator between risk aversion and investment intention. It is also found that emotional benefit such as self development created the perspective of self-fulfillment. This is the most important influence on the investment action of individual investors. The most influential supporting factor used in the decision-making is past stock price return. This study has developed the framework for communications to create investment intention among individual investors. The strength of the communication model presents the importance of managing communications through understanding of Thai investors’ behavior. This allows stock brokers and financial institutions to develop, improve, and promote financial communication in the stock market targeted to the individual to fulfill their needs.Item Creating shared value communication for Thai companiesChanatta Satsue; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)In the past, business organizations focused only on the highest profitability by neglecting social and environmental responsibility. However, with the changes in society, economy, politics, and environment, including innovation and technology, the organization has to communicate to all stakeholders more about social responsibility issues as a result. Therefore, this case study qualitative research aimed to study the process of creating shared value (CSV) and the impact of the shared value communication process in the context of Thai society. It aimed to use as a conceptual framework for developing the process of communicating CSV in business organizations in Thailand. Two large business organizations in Thailand: Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited (BCP) and The Siam Cement Public Company Limited (SCG), were selected as study cases. Ten key informants were purposively selected from each organization, consisting of three middle-level executives and fourteen general employees, with a total of twenty. The tools used for data collection were in-depth interviews and structured group interviews with the observation form without participation. Data were analyzed and synthesized by the content analysis method. The research study results were summarized into two parts, namely the communication process of creating shared values; it was found that there was a change according to the context of Thai society in each era. Especially in the present, business organizations are increasingly focused on communicating information through activities that demonstrate social and environmental responsibility by communicating that they were using their limited natural resources for maximum efficiency and minimizing disruption to the world. The communication process is the communication from the inside out, emphasizing stakeholder participation from personnel within the organization to trading partners, customers, society, and communities by using innovation and modern technology to help cover the reach of all sectors. It emphasizes both formal and informal styles and focuses on communication at all levels: top-down, bottom-up, and communication at the same level. As for the impact of the shared value communication process, it was found that BCP’s organizational value communication process was still unable to convey the present-day “values” of the organization to employees within the organization in terms of creating an understanding of responsiveness to clearly responds to change mutually. This causes employees with different values of view to conflict. Therefore, it is imperative to re-shape the communication process based on the harmonization of the collective goals of the organization and the individual goals to enable the company to deliver the actual value of the organization to its employees sustainably. On the part of SCG, it was found that the company has implemented a process of communicating future-oriented shared values and creating innovations since the beginning, resulting in greater clarity on the delivery of shared values from generation to generation. Therefore, the approach to developing an organization’s communication process to create shared value requires consideration of the main factors: social, economic, environmental, political, and technological factors. Besides, it must include the participation of stakeholders so that the organization can gain trust from all of them, leading to satisfaction in using the service and affecting the organization’s sustainability.Item The communication of people with physical disability's identity via news websites in ThailandPrang Tharawanich; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)News is commonly known to communicate facts. It is also used as a reference to represent reality in society. In the past, news communicating about people with physical disabilities was constructed to create negative values and meaning. The myth of inability judged people with physical disabilities as worthless. When the media landscape changes to online media, it opens the space for anyone to hold media ownership. It also allows people with physical disabilities to possess a space to communicate their identities with their own insider perspectives. The study titled, “The Communication of People with Physical Disability’s Identity via the News Websites in Thailand” is a qualitative research based on the identity concept of cultural studies. The first objective is to study people with physical disabilities’ identity through the news headlines and news pictures on a news website of organizations that are members of the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand. The second objective is to study the identity of people with physical disabilities in news headlines and news images on a news website of the organization founded by people with physical disabilities. The third objective is to study the relationship between the identity of people with physical disabilities on both websites. This study uses the critical discourse framework of Foucault and Fairclough to analyze the news websites topic discourse using language strategies. The analysis of the news pictures utilized the Pei Soo Ang disability discourse analysis framework to assess the dimension of social perception of the identity of people with physical disabilities. The study explored characteristics that have changed from the past. In addition, the research investigated the perceived value and meaning that society has regarding people with a physical disability and identified knowledge and power dominance. The websites selected for the study included the Thairath Online and Thisable news websites. Thairath Online is a news website with membership in the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand and Thisable news website founded by a person with a physical disability. The results found that people with physical disabilities in the Thairath Online website are powerless and cannot determine their own identities. The medical, state, economics, and religion are institutions with authority to use knowledge set to define the people with physical disabilities identity and reproduced it in the media. Although identification may appear positively in some cases, it still has a negative implication wherein people with physical disabilities identities are “physically different from general people,” “not the same group as general people,” “pitiful,” but have “ability” in some cases. The research also found that people with physical disabilities in Thisable news website have the power to identify their own identity. However, their identity remains dominated by various institutions in society. Therefore, they choose to adopt some original identities, bargain with a positive perspective, and reject some identity. People with physical disabilities agreed that their identity is “physically different from general people,” “not the same group as general people,” “not pitiful,” and have “ability.” In conclusion, the institution’s power determined the identity of people with physical disabilities in Thai society. Simultaneously, while being oppressive, people with physical disabilities choose to adopt some given identity, negotiate, and construct other aspects of their own identity. As a result, the identity relationship, which appears to be consistently on both websites is that people with physical disabilities are “physically different,” “not the same group as general,” and have “ability.” The different areas are pitiful, which appeared in the Thairath Online news website that people with physical disabilities are “pitiful.” Still, Thisable news website rejects the identity and determines that they are “not pitiful.” The news presentation of people with physical disabilities in Thai media is often released without full understanding their identity. This happens because the media used an outsider’s perspective standpoint. As a result, the media may become a significant obstacle in the pursuit of an “Inclusive Society” where everyone can live and conduct social activities equally with dignity and without discrimination. The recommendations from this research to agencies related to media policy must raise awareness and encourage all forms of “media” to access counseling from people with physical disabilities. They should seek information and communication about disabilities from an insider’s standpoint to communicate using language and images in the news with respect to human rights.Item Lifestyles and key factors affecting the adaptation of foreign muslim students in ThailandYaowanuch Sawhasun; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2020)The research is aimed 1) to study the lifestyles of foreign Muslim students in Thailand 2) to explore foreign Muslim students’ living and intercultural communication problems in Thailand, and 3) to investigate the differences and relationship between the related factors and the level of foreign Muslim students’ adaptability in Thailand. The study is multi-methodology research, conducted by both quantitative and qualitative research. Survey questionnaires were collected from 286 foreign Muslim students. For qualitative research, an in-depth interview with foreign Muslim students, Thai friends, an instructor, and international students' advisor, a total of twelve samples, combined with the non-participant observation, and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Besides, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used and analyzed by t-test and ANOVA, including multiple regression analysis for predicting factors related to the level of foreign Muslim students’ adaptability in Thailand at the .05 statistical significance level. From the study, it was found that 1) Foreign Muslim students had sport and outdoor orientation lifestyle the most, followed by a cultural-orientation lifestyle. 2) Foreign Muslim students had low Thai language proficiency in every skill; thus, this caused their general living in Thailand. They specified the problem in the cognitive domain or the Thai language’s understanding the most as they could not communicate with local people outside the universities, not understand Thai signs, etc. Besides, insufficient Halal food and the inconvenience of finding it, including no provided places in the universities for their religious practices, were other main problems. No problem was found in the affective domain due to their motivation to study in Thailand, their positive attitude towards Thailand, Thai people, and Thai educational systems, including the low cost of living. They found no behavioral problems either. However, they expected to get free courses in the Thai language, but most universities did not arrange for them and discouraged them from learning Thai. 3) From the statistical analysis, foreign Muslim students' lifestyle patterns were found to positively correlate with the level of their adaptability, especially the cultural-orientation lifestyle. Foreign Muslim students had the overall adaptability at a high level. Personal factors and their predispositions, including their Thai language skills, were positively correlated at the .05 statistical significance level. From the multiple regression analysis of seven variables: communication, media exposure, religious influence, host culture environment, intercultural communication competence, lifestyle patterns, and Thai language skills, are found to predict the level of foreign Muslim students' adaptability 37%. Host culture environment, lifestyle patterns, and intercultural communication competence are found to be the most predictive factors. Intercultural communication competence in three domains: cognitive, affective, and behavioral, can predict the level of adaptability 20%, and competence in the affective domain is the most predictive factor. All seven patterns of lifestyle: cultural, social, entertainment, home and family, and sport and outdoor orientation, can predict the level of adaptability 18%and the cultural-orientation lifestyle is the most predictive factor.Item A causal model of factors affecting instructional communication effectiveness of instructors of different generations in Thai higher education institutionsTeerawan Opasbut; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2023)The objectives of this research were to 1) study perceived communication competence, communication satisfaction, perceived communication problems, and students’ responses to instructional communication of instructors of different generations in Thai higher education institutions, 2) develop causal models of factors affecting instructional communication effectiveness of instructors of different generations in Thai higher education institutions, and 3) examine the congruence of the constructed model with the empirical data. This research is mixed-method research, comprising two research methodologies: 1) Qualitative research was to study students' opinions on instructional communication with instructors of different generations. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with instructors. 2) Quantitative research was to develop a causal model of factors affecting instructional communication effectiveness of instructors of different generations in Thai higher education institutions, by collecting data from a sample of 195 students, who had learning experiences with instructors from the three different generations. The quality research found that the results of communication effectiveness of instructors of different generations in the instructional communication context in Thai higher education institutions involve the following variables: 1) Perceived communication competence, 2) satisfaction with communication, 3) perceived communication problems between communication partners, and 4) students’ response to the instructors’ communication. The quantitative research findings reveal that all constructed causal models affecting instructional communication effectiveness of instructors of different generations in Thai higher education institutions are congruent with the empirical data at a statistical significance level of 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001. Considering the congruence indices, the causal model of instructors of each generations is as follows: 1) The model of Gen B instructors: Relative Chi-square = 2.093, GFI = 0.913, CFI = 0.968, NFI = 0.941, NNFI = 0.958, IFI = 0.969, RFI = 0.923, RMR = 0.033, 2) the model of Gen X instructors: Relative Chi-square = 2.236, GFI = 0.901, CFI = 0.962, NFI = 0.934, NNFI = 0.950, IFI = 0.963, RFI = 0.913, RMR = 0.026, 3) The model of Gen Y instructors: Relative Chi-square = 1.688, GFI = 0.926, CFI = 0.976, NFI = 0.944, NNFI = 0.969, IFI = 0.976, RFI = 0.928, RMR = 0.025, and 4) The model of instructors of all generations: Relative Chi-square = 2.171, GFI = 0.902, CFI = 0.967, NFI = 0.941, NNFI = 0.957, IFI = 0.968, RFI = 0.923, RMR = 0.020. All models have 8 out of 11 indices pass the determined criteria, with the following findings: 1) The model of Gen B instructors: Perceived communication competence has a direct positive effect on communication satisfaction, with a path coefficient of 0.896; communication satisfaction has a direct positive effect on response to communication, with a path coefficient of 0.762; and perceived communication problems have a direct positive effect on communication satisfaction, with a path coefficient of 0.113. 2) The model of Gen X instructors: Perceived communication competence has a direct positive effect on communication satisfaction, with a path coefficient of 0.908; and perceived communication competence has a direct positive effect on response to communication, with a path coefficient of 0.578. 3) The model of Gen Y instructors: Perceived communication competence has a direct positive effect on communication satisfaction, with a path coefficient of 0.880; and communication satisfaction has a direct positive effect on response to communication, with a path coefficient of 0.506, and 4) The model of instructors of all generations: Perceived communication competence has a direct positive effect on communication satisfaction, with a path coefficient of 0.901; and communication satisfaction has a direct positive effect on response to communication, with a path coefficient of 0.544. Overall, the variable of perceived communication competence has the highest total effect on communication satisfaction in all models.Item Thailand's communication model in the post-covid-19 wellness tourism destination brandingPinnachan Dangulavanich; Kullatip Satararuji (National Institute of Development Administration, 2023)The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on the global health and economy, including Thailand's tourism industry. Prior to the pandemic, Thailand’s tourism industry was flourishing, but it experienced a significant decline in GDP and an increase in unemployment. However, there is a growing interest in wellness tourism, and Thailand's strength in the wellness industry presents an opportunity for recovery. This current research explored Thailand’s post COVID-19 communication model in wellness tourism destination branding by addressing three research objectives. The first objective is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Thailand’s wellness tourism industry from the perspective of DMOs. The second objective is to identify potential wellness destination brand positioning that can attract prospective tourists to choose Thailand as a post-COVID-19 wellness tourism destination. The third objective is to develop a comprehensive wellness tourism destination brand communication model that can be beneficial to the government, tourism destination marketers, and other tourism stakeholders. The research methodology employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative research involved interviews with key informants from various organizations and experts in tourism and branding. Based on this research, six facets were identified for Thailand’s post-COVID-19 brand identity prism, including Physique, Personality, Culture, Relationship, Reflection, and Self-Image. Quantitative research was conducted using a survey administered to 408 international tourists who visited Thailand between August and October 2022. The data collected revealed that Thailand's wellness tourism brand met tourists' expectations in terms of reflection and self-image, while the cultural facet exceeded expectations and was highly important. The Physique, Personality, and Relationship facets were ranked lower in perceptions but were still considered highly important. Based on these findings, Thailand should focus on promoting its cultural facet and highlighting the opportunity for tourists to reflect on their well-being and personal development. Emphasizing the importance of the Physique, Personality, and Relationship facets in wellness tourism offerings can also attract more tourists. The study used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate the structural equation model and analyzed the empirical data using AMOS. The study found that the perception of the wellness tourism destination brand has a significant positive effect on attitude towards Thailand's wellness tourism destination brand, which in turn has a significant positive effect on COVID-19 related factors and the selection of Thailand as a wellness destination. This signified that, in the post COVID-19 stage, the tourists might not consider the policies and statements addressing COVID-19 such as SHA or COVID-free as an important matter in selecting wellness destination. The findings recommended the HEAL model (Heritage, Experience, Authentic, and Likability) for Thailand’s promotional message design. The Heritage facet emphasized the significance of culture, traditions, and unique practices in creating exceptional wellness experiences. The Experience facet focused on offering a seamless wellness journey, addressing concerns, and prioritizing health and safety. The Authentic facet highlights the promotion of “Thai-ness” by integrating visible and vivid cultural elements. Lastly, the Likability facet showcases Thailand’s reputation for amicability, top-notch service, wellness competence, sincerity, sophistication, and commitment to hygiene and safety. By incorporating these insights, Thailand can redefine itself as a sought-after destination for transformative wellness journeys. This research could be beneficials for government, tourism destination marketers, policy makers, and other tourism stakeholders in the development of effective wellness tourism destination branding strategies that enhance Thailand’s competitiveness in the global tourism market.Item Data storytelling about covid-19 and the new normal of people in the Bangkok metropolitan regionKittikun Khakhai; Patchanee Cheyjunya (National Institute of Development Administration, 2022)งานวิจัยนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์ได้แก่ 1) เพื่อศึกษาการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับไวรัสโควิด-19 ของศูนย์ข้อมูลโควิด-19 และศูนย์บริหารสถานการณ์โควิด-19 2) เพื่อพัฒนาโมเดลปัจจัยเชิงสาเหตุที่ส่งผลต่อการดำเนินชีวิต แบบปรกติใหม่ และ 3) เพื่อตรวจสอบความสอดคล้องของโมเดลปัจจัยเชิงสาเหตุที่ส่งผลต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่กับข้อมูลเชิงประจักษ์ โดยเป็นงานวิจัยแบบผสมผสาน (Mixed Method Research) มีระเบียบวิธีวิจัย 2 ส่วน ได้แก่ 1) ระเบียบวิธีวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพ ศึกษาการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับไวรัสโควิด-19 ผ่านเฟซบุ๊ก เพจศูนย์ข้อมูลโควิด-19 ในช่วงเดือนตุลาคม 2564 - เมษายน 2565 โดยมีการเก็บรวมข้อมูลโพสต์บนเพจเฟซบุ๊กเป็นประจำทุกวัน และใช้การวิเคราะห์ตัวบท (Textual Analysis) เพื่อวิเคราะห์ข้อมูล นอกจากนี้ยังสัมภาษณ์ผู้ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการสื่อสารข้อมูลไวรัสโควิด-19 เพื่อยืนยันความสอดคล้องของข้อมูลที่ได้จากการวิเคราะห์ตัวบท จากนั้นจึงนำนำเสนอผลการวิเคราะห์ในรูปแบบพรรณนาวิเคราะห์ 2) ระเบียบวิธีวิจัยเชิงปริมาณ พัฒนาโมเดลปัจจัยเชิงสาเหตุที่ส่งผลต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่ เลือกกลุ่มตัวอย่างเป็นประชาชนในเขตกรุงเทพมหานคร จำนวน 285 คน ตัวแปรที่ใช้ในการศึกษา ได้แก่ รูปแบบการดำเนินชีวิต การแสวงหาข้อมูล การรับรู้ความง่าย การรับรู้ประโยชน์ การรับรู้ข้อมูลไวรัสโควิด-19 ความพึงพอใจ และการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่ โดยนำผลวิจัยของการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลไวรัส-19 ในส่วนของประเภทเนื้อหาการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับไวรัสโควิด-19 มาพัฒนาเป็นข้อคำถามเพื่อใช้วัดตัวแปรการรับรู้ข้อมูลไวรัสโควิด-19 และนำผลการวิจัยในส่วนของวัตถุประสงค์การเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลไวรัสโควิด-19 กับประเภทเนื้อหาการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลไวรัสโควิด-19 มาประยุกต์ใช้เป็นข้อคำถามเพื่อใช้วัดตัวแปรการรับรู้ความง่าย การรับรู้ประโยชน์ เครื่องมือที่ใช้เก็บรวมรวมข้อมูลคือแบบสอบถาม และวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลด้วยเทคนิคสมการเชิงโครงสร้าง (Structure Equation Model) ผลการวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพพบว่า 1) การเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับไวรัสโควิด-19 มีจำนวน 725 โพสต์ โดยมีลำดับการเล่าเรื่องที่มีลักษณะเป็นโครงสร้าง 2) วัตถุประสงค์ในการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูล ได้แก่ การให้ข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับไวรัสโควิด-19 ขอความร่วมมือให้ประชาชนปฏิบัติตามมาตรการของภาครัฐ และสร้างความเชื่อมั่นในการดำเนินงานในมาตรการของภาครัฐ 3) ประเภทเนื้อหาการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูล ได้แก่ สถานการณ์ไวรัสโควิด-19 มาตรการภาครัฐ และวัคซีนไวรัสโควิด-19 4) ประเภทการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูล เป็นประเภทผู้เล่าเรื่องขับเคลื่อนข้อมูล และสามารถแบ่งประเภทตามเกณฑ์เนื้อหาสาร ได้แก่ การเปรียบเทียบและขัดแย้งรวมกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงเวลา การเปรียบเทียบและขัดแย้ง การแสดงทิศทางไปข้างหน้า และการเปลี่ยนแปลงเวลา 5) โครงเรื่องการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูล เป็นโครงเรื่องแบบ Data Storytelling Arc ทั้งหมด 6) เทคนิค Data Visualization มีการใช้ทฤษฎีเกสตัลท์ในสร้าง จินตทัศน์ และเลือกใช้แผนภูมิ จำนวน 14 รูปแบบ 7) เครื่องมือและโปรแกรมที่ใช้ในการเล่าเรื่องด้วยข้อมูล ได้แก่ Tableau Adobe Illustrator และ Microsoft Excel ผลการวิจัยเชิงปริมาณพบว่าโมเดลปัจจัยเชิงสาเหตุที่ส่งผลต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่มีความสอดคล้องกับข้อมูลเชิงประจักษ์ โดยพิจารณาจากค่าดัชนีความสอดคล้อง ได้แก่ ได้แก่ Relative Chi-Square = 2.955, GFI = 0.901, CFI = 0.959, NFI = 0.940, NNFI = 0.934, IFI = 0.960 และ RFI = 0.904 ซึ่งผ่านเกณฑ์ที่กำหนดทั้งสิ้น 7 ดัชนี จากทั้งหมด 11 ดัชนี ทั้งนี้ยังพบว่าทุกตัวแปรในโมเดลมีอิทธิพลต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่ โดยตัวแปรความพึงพอใจมีอิทธิพลทางตรงเชิงบวกต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่ และตัวแปรการรับรู้ประโยชน์เป็นตัวแปรที่มีค่าอิทธิพลโดยรวมสูงสุดต่อการดำเนินชีวิตแบบปรกติใหม่
