Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in attitudes towards student activities of freshmen in the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy and the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University. The hypotheses tested were : 1) there are changes in attitudes towards students activities of freshmen in the two faculties, 2) attitudes changes are in two directions, that is, discarding the old attitudes and adopting the new ones, 3) changes in attitudes towards student activities of freshmen in the two faculties are different, and 4) changes in attitudes towards student activities of freshmen in the two faculties depend on the following variables : sex, age, generation, section studied in high schools, location of high schools, M.S.5 achievement scores, and experiences in student activities in high schools. The sample consisted of 321 freshmen in the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy and 134 freshmen in the Faculty of Arts in the academic year 1973. A questionnaire covered the areas of the meaning of the five mottos of Chulalongkorn University, relationship among students of different class standing, cheer-leading activities, and student government. The questionnaire was administered twice, one at the beginning of the first semester and the other the beginning of the second. The data were converted into proportions of students responding positively to each item and indices of changes. Chi-square test were also performed. The results supported the first, the second and the fourth hypothesis. The third hypothesis was contradicted, however.
