This experimental research aimed to examine the effectiveness of Thai youths who underwent the different levels of training intensity. The sample had 120 Thai youths, who were randomly assigned to one of four groups without bias under a 2 × 2 factorial design, with two types of independent variables: 1) training in psychological traits, 2) training in socially ethical skills. Three phases were evaluated: before training, after training immediately, and three-month after training. Seven measurement tools were used by Likert-type rating scale with reliability coefficients from 0.810 to 0.860. The statistical method to test the hypotheses was Analysis of Covariance.
The findings revealed that 1) For the phase after training immediately, Thai youths who underwent the trainings in psychological traits and socially ethical skills had a higher mean score in moral reasoning compared to those who trained only the training in socially ethical skills or no any training. Additionally, they exhibited more positive attitudes toward socially ethical behaviors than those who did not train any training. Their socially ethical behaviors were higher than Thai youths who only underwent in socially ethical skills, 2) For the phase of three-month after training, Thai youths who underwent the trainings in psychological traits and socially ethical skills had a higher mean score in moral reasoning than those who trained only the training in socially ethical skills or no any training. Moreover, their positive attitudes toward socially ethical behaviors remained higher than Thai youths who only trained in psychological trait or no any training.
