behavior, and the relationship between forgiveness and violent behavior among vocational students in Pathum
Thani Province. This study was quantitative research. The sample consisted of 400 students with vocational
certificates and higher vocational certificates at an educational institution in Pathum Thani Province. The
multistage random sampling was used. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. Data was collected and
analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample (t-test), one-way analysis of variance (F-test), and
correlation.
The results showed that personal factors were significantly associated with levels of forgiveness at .05.
It could be divided into each aspect as follows: 1) Positive self-forgiveness varied with gender, age, and field of
study. 2) Negative self-forgiveness varied with gender, age, religion, educational level, and field of study. 3)
Positive forgiveness for other varied with gender. 4) Negative forgiveness for other did not vary with personal
factors. 5) Forgiveness in positive situations varied with gender, and birth order. 6) Forgiveness in negative
situations varied with birth order, and field of study. 7) Violence behavior varied with parents' income. To
determine the relationship between forgiveness and assessment of violent behavior, it was found that
forgiveness had an effect on assessment of violent behavior. This consideration could be divided into individual
aspects. Negative forgiveness for other was associated with a very low level (r= 0.101), and forgiveness in
negative situations was associated with a very low correlation (r= 0.114).
