economic and social factors, 2) happiness, 3) compare the level of happiness
classified by elementary information and economic factors, and 4) study the
relationship between social factors with the happiness of the people. The sample
consisted of 400 people living in the community of National Housing (Wat PhraNgoen).
The statistics used were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, the
comparison of t-Test and f-Test with one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's Product-moment
correlation coefficient.
It was found that most of the samples were married females between
the ages of 41-50 years old with high school education (M.4 - M.6) or vocational
training. They had their own business and the number of family members were one or
two persons earning the personal income per month of 10,001 - 15,000 per person, and
the family income per month of 10,001 - 20,000 Baht without the implementation of the
household accounting. Their household expenses included the payment for water,
electricity, and other utilities. Most of them had liabilities and had to make the payment
of 29.44% for debt repayment on time. The debt settlement was moderate with a few
savings each month and the income was closely equal to the expenditure. In the
overall, the people had practical social factors. In the overall, each aspect also yielded
high level of family, leisure and personal relationship while the remaining three
including the social relationship, living behavior, and the community characteristics
were moderate.
In addition, the results revealed that senior people, number of family
members, and the difference in debt payment had different levels of happiness in the
overall. The social factors had a low positive relationship with the happiness of the
residents living in the community of National Housing (Wat PhraNgoen) at the .05
statistic level. | en_US |
