This paper explains how the ethnic conflict process that occurred in the Southern Province of Thailand to the process of resolving conflicts between the Government of Thailand and local residents in the Southern Province of Thailand. The conflict is based on the history of the Southern Thailand region between the Thai Government and the Malay Muslim population. Then, it caused conflicting attitudes and behaviors in responding to this conflict from each of the warring parties. This paper uses the concept of the conflict triangle from Johan Galtung where this conflict comes from perceptions based on historical differences, then followed by differences in conflicting behavior from each party and differences in interests. Then, using the concept of the source of conflict from Bernard Meyer, the source of the conflict that comes from historical differences so that it affects how to communicate, emotional reactions, values ??and structures owned. Then, using the concept of the stage of conflict resolution from Johan Galtung, this conflict is at the peacekeeping level where Malaysia is the mediator between the two warring parties. In resolving conflicts, both parties need to change attitudes and behavior in transforming different interests.

Emotions are considered important drivers of the diffusion of messages on social networking sites. Therefore, emotion-eliciting political communication yields the potential to reach broad audiences and to influence citizens’ attitudes and behavior. In this study, we investigate message characteristics that potentially trigger emotional reactions on part of the users of political social networking pages and test if this fosters the diffusion of political content in the network. Based on appraisal theory, we employ a manual coding scheme to identify appraisal dimensions in political parties’ Facebook posts that should trigger sadness or anger. We subsequently combine the manual codings with information of the users’ reactions to the respective posts, which we gathered using an automated content analysis. More specifically, we determine (1) if posts that include sadness or anger appraisals are associated with the corresponding emotional reactions in the form of emojis and (2) if these posts are shared more often.

Attitudes And Behavior

Attitudes refer to overall evaluations of people, groups, ideas, and other objects, reflecting whether individuals like or dislike them. Attitudes have been found to be good predictors of behavior, with generally medium-sized effects. The role of attitudes in guiding behavior may be the primary reason why people’s social lives often revolve around expressing and discussing their attitudes, and why social psychology researchers have spent decades examining attitudes. Two central questions in the study of attitudes concern when and how attitudes predict behavior. The “when” question has been addressed over decades of research that has identified circumstances under which attitudes are more or less likely to predict behavior. That is, attitudes are stronger predictors of behaviors when both constructs are assessed in a corresponding or matching way, when attitudes are stronger, and among certain individuals and in certain situations and domains. The “how” question concerns influential models in the attitudes literature that provide a better understanding of the processes through which attitudes are linked with behaviors. For instance, these models indicate that other constructs need to be taken into account in understanding the attitude-behavior link, including intentions to perform a behavior, whether individuals perceive themselves to be in control of their behavior, and what they believe others around them think the individual should do (i.e., norms). The models also describe whether attitudes relate to behavior through relatively deliberative and controlled processes or relatively automatic and spontaneous processes. Overall, the long history of research on attitude-behavior links has provided a clearer prediction of when attitudes are linked with behaviors and a better understanding of the processes underlying this link.

Attitudes And Behavior

Discrimination could be defined as the attitudes and behavior based on the group differences. Any group acknowledged and proclaimed as ‘the other’ by prevailing zeitgeist and dominant social powers, and further dehumanized may become the subject of discrimination. Moreover, internalized discrimination perpetuates this process. In a spectrum from dislike and micro-aggression to overt violence towards ‘the other’, it exists almost in all societies in varying degrees and forms; all forms involving some practices of exclusion and rejection. Hence, almost all the same human physical and psychosocial characteristics that constitute the bases for in-group identities and reference systems could also become the foundations of discrimination towards the humans identified as out-groups. Added to this, othering, arising from imagined and generalized differences and used to distinguish groups of people as separate from the norm reinforces and maintains discrimination.Accordingly, discrimination built on race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, nationality and ethnicity, religious beliefs, age, physical and mental disabilities, employment, caste and language have been the focus of a vast variety of anti-discriminatory and inclusive efforts. National acts and international legislative measures and conventions, political and public movements and campaigns, human rights movements, education programs, NGO activities are some examples of such anti-discriminatory and inclusive efforts. All these efforts have significant economic, political and psychosocial components.Albeit the widespread exercise of discrimination, peoples of the world also have a long history of searching, aiming and practicing more inclusive ways of solving conflicts of interests between in-groups and out-groups. This presentation will mainly focus on the psychosocial aspects of the anti-discriminative efforts and search a room for hope and its realistic bases for a more non-violent, egalitarian and peaceful human existence.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

The literature highlights how different individual levels of political interest and knowledge matter for political attitudes and behavior. A logical-quantitative voting model is thus proposed for a two-party system, based on voters' left—right ideological positions and their degree of political involvement. The model hypothesizes that although more involved voters generally behave in accordance with their ideological orientation, those who are less involved do not. Moreover, the latter tend to be more undecided and therefore likely to be more strongly influenced by campaign activities. This model is then applied to survey data regarding the 2001 Italian general elections. Results confirm the hypotheses and show that the most competitive area is ideologically a narrow centrist area for very involved citizens, becoming wider as the level of involvement decreases. Separate analyses are carried out for different geopolitical areas of the country, with results fitting the political history of these areas.

Program promotif gaya hidup sehat telah banyak digencarkan pemerintah diantaranya Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) serta Keluarga Sadar Gizi (Kadarzi). Namun demikian, cakupan penerapan indikatornya seringkali tidak dapat terpenuhi, hanya beberapa atau sebagian keluarga yang menerapkan secara utuh. Dusun Jaranan menjadi salah satu yang belum menerapkan secara utuh. Data terakhir menunjukkan 53,35% untuk PHBS tahun 2018 sedangkan kadarzi sudah 95,44%. Penerapan ini selalu mengalami perubahan naik maupun turun. Oleh karena itu diperlukan penilaian kesehatan dan upaya promotif yang berkesinambungan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk melakukan seluruh tahapan siklus promosi kesehatan di RW 40 Dusun Jaranan. Metodenya penilaian kesehatan menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan survey. Data yang dihasilkan berupa permasalahan yang prioritas yaitu masih adanya yang merokok di dalam rumah. Oleh karena itu, program yang disepakati bersama masyarakat adalah peningkatan pengetahuan tentang bahaya rook bagi perokok aktif dan pasif dengan metode ceramah dan alat bantu berupa poster, leaflet, dan video. Intervensi ini dapat berjalan sesuai rencana dan memberikan dampak berupa peningkatan pengetahuan sasaran. Upaya ini harus terus ditindaklanjuti oleh puskesmas setempat agar tidak berhenti pada peningkatan pengetahuan saja, namun juga sikap dan perilaku.---The healthy lifestyle promotion program has been intensified by the government including Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS) and Nutrition Conscious Families (Kadarzi). However, the scope of the application of the indicators can often not be fulfilled, only a few or some families who apply in full. Jaranan Hamlet is one that has not been implemented in full. The latest data shows 53.35% for PHBS in 2018 while the levels of have been 95.44%. This application always changes up and down. Therefore it is necessary to have an ongoing health assessment and promotive effort. This study aims to conduct all stages of the health promotion cycle in RW 40 of Jaranan Hamlet. The method of health assessment uses quantitative methods with surveys. The data generated in the form of a priority problem that is still the existence of smoking in the house. Therefore, the program agreed with the community is to increase knowledge about the dangers of rooks for active and passive smokers with lecture methods and assistive devices in the form of posters, leaflets, and videos. This intervention can go according to plan and have the effect of increasing target knowledge. This effort must continue to be followed up by local health centres so as not to stop at increasing knowledge, but also attitudes and behavior.

The article examines the history of the development of the nationalist movement of Malay Muslims living in the south of Thailand, which is more than half a century old and is a demonstration of their identify in conditions of being in an alien and even hostile religious, cultural and ethnic environment and a form of protest against the government policy of forced assimilation. The desire of Malay Muslims for independence, which has taken the form of armed resistance to the central government, is a response to the marginalization of their economic and political position and to the discriminatory policy of the government. Separatism as an ideology of ethno-nationalism and as a political movement of Malay Muslims, which originated in the 1940s of the last century, has transformed in the last fifteen years into a religious jihad with an accompanying increase in violence. It is based on small groups of militant separatists recruiting their supporters from students of traditional Muslim schools. Having almost completely abandoned political activity, the separatists concentrated on carrying out acts of terror. With the emergence of ISIS and its attempts to create its base in the Muslim countries of Southeast Asia, a threat arose that a local conflict would develop into a transnational one. However, local jihadists, following the interests of self-survival and adhering to a nationalist ideology, show their distance from ISIS, avoiding involvement in the international terrorist movement. The author notes that despite the limited social base of terrorist separatist groups, the idea of independence remains widely demanded in local society. The prolonged nature of the ethno-religious conflict poses the task to resolve it by Thai government. Attempts to suppress the separatism of Malay Muslims by force have been unsuccessful, which prompts the Thai government to look for political ways to resolve the conflict in the framework of the negotiation process with insurgent groups. However, differences in the positions of the parties on the hard core of the problem complicate reaching consensus. The author concludes that as long as Thai society is divided into “we” and “they”, the basis for the growth of Malay nationalism remains.

Relative deprivation (RD) is the product of an upward comparison that indicates that one’s disadvantaged situation is undeserved coupled with anger and resentment. RD is associated with reduced psychological health and increased individual deviance and collective action. This chapter (a) reviews the history of RD to illustrate its value as a conceptual tool, (b) discusses what is known about the different ways in which people respond to RD, and (c) explores how different comparison types inform the RD experience and its outcomes. If correctly measured, RD illuminates how people’s subjective interpretations of their economic circumstances impacts their health, attitudes and behavior.

Subject Insurgency in southern Thailand. Significance The Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) -- Thailand’s largest ethnic Malay, Muslim separatist group -- earlier this month declared a unilateral ceasefire in its conflict with the government, citing the need for the country to turn its complete attention to tackling the COVID-19 crisis. A long-standing separatist insurgency in the southern provinces intensified some 16 years ago. Impacts The insurgency will likely remain localised rather than linked to international jihadism. Malaysia's continued facilitation of talks between the Thai government and insurgents could help the BRN in the long run. Even if Bangkok agreed to autonomy for the Southern Border Provinces, it would struggle to provide the budget to support this.

Efforts to transform humanity with knowledge of attitudes and behaviors that conform to Islamic values or ideology can only be done with education. Thus, Islamic education is a process to bring humanity closer to the level of its perfection and to develop the level of its ability which is guided by Islamic ideology and aqidah. As the goal of Islamic education is to create human beings who are Islamic and soulful in accordance with the spirit and breath of Islam. Methodology that is not oriented towards the achievement of these goals will certainly be avoided, so that Islamic education is not merely transfer of knowledge, but pay attention to whether the given science can change attitudes and behavior or not. Within this framework, intensive monitoring by all levels of society, including the government on the patterns and behavior of learners, to what extent they are bound by the Islamic conception of life and values.
