This study identified the role of ethnicity of public university students in Jakarta, Indonesia, in their behavior as population socialization agents. For this purpose, three analyses were carried out. The first analysis dealt with the relationships between ethnicity of students and several population socialization outcomes variables, i.e., population knowledge/population awareness, population attitude, population expectation, population propensity, and population socialization agent behavior. The second analysis was concerned with identification of the effect of ethnicity as an independent variable in population socialization agent behavior of students mediated through the population socialization outcomes variables. The third analysis was of a recursive path population socialization agent model that attempted to identify the causal relationships of socio-demographic variables, several population socialization effects variables, and selected population socialization outcomes variables. / The population of study was all first- and second-year public university students in the faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Economics at the University of Indonesia, Jakarta. Data were collected with two questionnaires: the students' self-administered questionnaire, and the teachers' questionnaire. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and the path analysis technique, in which the decomposition of effects was calculated to obtain a clearer description of the pattern of effects of the model. / The major findings showed that there are differences among ethnic groups of students in their population knowledge/population awareness, population attitudes, population expectation, and in their behaviors as population socialization agents. It was also found that all students, regardless of their ethnic groups, behaved as population socialization agents in their daily lives. Ethnicity has a significant effect on the students' behavior as population socialization agents, being mediated through the population socialization outcomes variables. The model revealed that there are two determinants among the exogenous variables: sex and formal source of population knowledge. Population knowledge/population awareness and population attitude, as indicated by the significant large path coefficients, are the intermediate variables that have a strong positive effect on population socialization agent behavior. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 47-12, Section: A, page: 4517. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1986.
