A study on self-monitoring of college students in ongkharak district

Abstract

This study analyzed the self-monitoring behaviors of college students in Ongkharak District. A normative survey method was adopted, with 100 college students randomly selected from various colleges in the district as participants. The research instrument used for data collection was the Self-Monitoring Questionnaire, developed by Dr. Ed Diener, and validated at a 0.05 level of significance. The study aimed to assess the self-monitoring levels of students and examine potential differences based on gender.The findings revealed no significant differences between male and female college students in their self-monitoring abilities. This indicates that gender does not play a critical role in influencing self-monitoring behaviors among college students in this context. The study highlights the uniformity in self-monitoring levels regardless of gender, suggesting a need for further exploration of other demographic or psychosocial factors that may contribute to variations. Future research could expand the scope by including larger and more diverse student populations or examining additional variables such as academic performance, personality traits, or social interactions.
