People’s Perspectives Towards the Senators: A Case Study of Angthong Province

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to: 1) investigate the perspectives of people residing in Angthong Province towards the senators, and 2) compare people’s perspectives towards the senators by considering personal factors. It is a quantitative research. The sample in the study included 400 people with voting rights residing in Angthong Province. They were selected using the simple random sampling method. The instrument used was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The statistical methods used were percentage, mean, standard deviation, T-test, One-way ANOVA, and LSD test.

The results showed that the perspectives of people residing in Angthong Province towards the senators were generally low. The highest-rated aspect was being a representative of the people, followed by working performance. The aspect receiving the lowest score was related to society and democracy.

The results of the hypothesis testing showed that people residing in Angthong Province with different ages and monthly incomes had significantly different perspectives towards the senators at a statistical significance level of .05, supporting the proposed hypothesis. However, factors such as gender, education level, and profession did not influence perspectives towards the senators.
