Socio-psychological record of Southern Thailand women: a study on the political conflicts 1903-2014 of Southern Thailand
Kuwing Baboe1, Khairunnas Rajab2.
This is a qualitative study which prioritizes the use of inductive
logic in which the categorization and meaning of symptoms, or
the construction of reality are derived from a direct interview
with women from Southern Thailand. Qualitative research is
characterized as a depiction of reality found through interviews
specifically in this regard with 340 women, by a snowball
sampling technique, which collects data from respondents. It
was conducted by interviewing recommended respondents from
Thai society who understand the socio-psychological condition
of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat in order to verify the theory
and socio-psychological phenomenon. This research adopts a
qualitative method; a descriptive study to assess the impact of
the political conflicts in Southern Thailand on its women’s sociopsychological
conditions. To achieve this goal, researchers sought
to analyze, interpret and construct facts, symptoms and events
through detailed descriptions and understand meanings contained in socio-psychological conditions of Southern Thailand women.
In order to obtain accurate data, the researchers conducted indepth
interviews to identify what really happens based on strict
scientific rules and principles on women’s socio-psychological
condition in encountering political conflict. Southern Thailand
women are considered weak and unfit for political activities.
This image brings negative effects on development of the sociopsychological
condition of the women. They cannot work outside,
and as a result, they spend much more time with domestic affairs.
They even suffer from stress, depression, psychosis, and psycho
neurosis. These women suffer from prolonged trauma due to
hostility, conflict, bombings, murder and terrorist acts. Political
conflict in Southern Thailand continues endlessly. It makes the
social order damaged, interaction disturbed, and domestic
violence and divorce rates rise. The conflict harms the mental
condition of all parties. However, women suffer more than men do.
To ease the conflict, attention to social and psychological aspects
should be taken into account. There should be no discrimination
of gender. Also, religious leaders, academics, government, and
neutral third parties should collaborate to ease the conflict.
