The conceptual framework of this study was based on the Interactionism model. The samples were 595 students in 8th grade with the age between 13-15 years. It consisted of 282 male students (47.5%) and 312 female students (52.5%) whom 311 students (52.4%) were in Bangkok and the rest of 283 students (47.6%) attended school inprovince. The samples were obtained from multistage random sampling method. Data were analyzed in total sample group, as well as, in 16 subgroups. There were 15 measures in the form of summated rating scale. Alpha coefficient ranged from 0.64 to 0.92. There were 6 groups of variables in this study. First, psychological traits, consisting of 3 variables, i.e., mental health, social perspective taking, and core self- evaluation. Second, internal familial conditions consisting of 3 variables, i.e, parental relation, parental conflict coping, parent-child relation. Third, extemnal familial conditions consisting of 3 variables, i.e, parental work-family confict, social support from significant others and parental workload. Fourth, psychological states, consisting of 3 variables, ie., favorable attitudes toward father, favorable attitudes toward mother and psychological immunity. Fifth,perceived appropriated child-rearing practices, consisting of 3 variables, i.e., perceived love-oriented child-rearing practices, perceived reasoning-oriented child-rearing practices, and happiness in life. Finally is background variables of the students. The important findings from this study were as follows. First, the result revealed that all 12 predictors from the groups of psychological traits, situations, and psychological states, could accou unted for 1) perceived love-oriented child-rearing practice with 37.0% of accuracy. The important predictors from descending order were favorable attitudes toward father, parent-child relation, favorable attitudes toward mother, social support from significant others, psychological immunity, and social perspective taking. The highest predictive percentage was found in students with high income father with 47.7%. 2) Perceived reasoning-oriented child- rearing practice with 30.4% of accuracy. The important predictors from descending order were favorable attitudes toward father, social support from significant others, psychological immunity, social perspective taking, favorable attitudes toward mother, The highest predictive percentage was found in students with high income father with 47.0%. Secondly, all 14 predictors from the groups of psychological traits, situations, psychological states, and perceived appropriated child-rearing practices, could account for the varianve of the happiness in life with 16.6% of accuracy. The important predictors from descending order were core self-evaluation, parental relation, social support from significant others and mental health. Thirdly, results from path analysis revealed that psychological trait and situational factors, with internal and extemal familial conditions directly affected perceived appropriated child-rearing practices via psychological states with R? of 0.874. Intemnal familial condition was directly affected by psychological trait and extemal familial conditions with R? of 0.791. Perceived appropriated child-rearing practices was directly affected by only psychological states with R? of 0.721. Finally, the art-risk groups displaying less appropriated child-rearing practices were female students. Furthermore, students with high salary reported less psychological immunity. Results from this study revealed that the variables in parental work-family conflict group correlated with perceived appropriated child-rearing practices. This issue should be studied for future research study. Moreover, it is encouraged to include parents as samples, as well as, conducting mix method in future study.219 leavesapplication/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.Child rearing -- ThailandJunior high school studentstext--thesis--doctoral thesis10.14457/NIDA.the.2015.156
