This study attempted to examine a model of intention to teach population education, through the use of path analysis, a method which is able to decompose into direct and indirect effects the effects of exogenous and endogenous variables on the dependent variable. / In the model, college differentiations, individual modernity, influence of parent, and influence of peer group were treated as exogenous variables which affect the trainees' intention to teach population education indirectly through a set of endogenous variables: self-concept of ability, attitude, and normative belief weighted by motivation to comply in teaching population education. / A sample of 480 trainees was selected purposively from 10 teacher training institutes in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. / The findings of the study suggest that trainees' intention to teach population education is directly affected by their attitude toward teaching population education and their normative belief weighted by motivation to comply in teaching population education. It was found that the effect of the attitude variable was stronger than that of the normative belief variable. In addition, attitude was affected by college differentiations, individual modernity, influence of parent, and influence of peer group. Normative belief weighted by motivation to comply in teaching population education was directly and positively affected by college differentiation, individual modernity, self-concept of ability, and influence of peer group. Self-concept of ability to teach population education was directly and positively affected by influence of parent and influence of peer group. This study confirms that any external variable indirectly influences intention to teach population education through either attitude toward teaching population education or normative belief weighted by motivation to comply in teaching population education, or both. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-12, Section: A, page: 3593. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
