| Abstract |
|
The research aims at finding out the relationship between contact, attitude and acceptance with regard to Buddhist Thais and Muslim Thais according to the differences in community population, religions and ages, in order to analyze and to provide recommendations for carrying out suitable activities in such communities. This cross-sectional comparative survey research collected the data from six villages in Muang and Tak Bai Districts of Narathiwat Province. The villages have different proportions of Buddhist Thai and Muslim Thai residents: Buddhist Thais more than, equal to, and less than Muslim Thais. The research findings are as follows: 1. Contacts at individual and group levels were at the high level while individual attitudes toward people of different religions were at the medium level and group attitude was at the high level. Test results on the relationship between contact and attitude were found to be against the hypothesis at both individual and group level. The two variables had the same relationship when analyzed with the different categories of community population, religion, sex and age. 2. Individual and group acceptance of people of different religions was at the medium level and test results on attitude and acceptance were in line with the hypothesis. The two variables had the same relationship when analyzed with the different categories of community population, religion, sex and age, except those aged 60 years and over, because they were conservative and tended to be against innovation. 3. Social reactions on violation were at the low level and were in line with the hypothesis. Acceptance of people of different religions and social reactions were similarly related when analyzed with the different categories of community population, religion, sex and age. 4. Individual acceptance of people of different religions and ethnicity was at the medium level. Test results were in line with the hypothesis and the two variables had the same relationship when analyzed with the different categories of community population, religion, sex and age.
