Abstract
This research aimed to examine factors related to the moral characteristics among junior high school students in extended opportunity schools. The Stratified random sampling was used to recruit the samples. There included 121 junior high school students in extended opportunity schools from Educational Service Area Office 1, Muang, Chonburi Province. Research instruments consisted of 1) a demographic questionnaire, 2) a parenting styles assessment 3) game addiction screening test 4) the Rosenberg self - esteem scale, and 5) the moral behavior questionnaire. There Cronbach’s alpha reliabilities ranged from .85 - .91. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic and Pearson correlation coefficients. The study results showed that the sample’s mean score of moral characteristic was at moderate level (M=3.36, SD=.63). Authoritative parenting style had a high level of positive correlation (r = .56, p <.01) and self-esteem had a positive correlation at the moderate level (r = .43, p <.01), while the neglectful, authoritarian and indulgent parenting styles were negatively related at medium and low levels (r = -. 39, r = -. 37 and r = -. 24, p <.01, respectively). Moreover also found that Internet gaming addiction have a negative relationship at the moderate level (r=- .37, p<.01). These findings suggest that the nurses, teachers, and personnel who work with early adolescents should emphasize on the promotion of authoritative parenting style and self - esteem. Game addiction in youths should be also concerned and watched out. These ways would cultivate moral characteristics and promote psychosocial adaptation in early adolescents.
