Abstract

This study is a comparative study by using the interactionism model. It aims to identify significant indicators and predicting volume of psychological states and situational factors related to online learning preparation behaviors. The study’s sampling group is 658 undergraduate students, selected by a multi-stage sampling. The study found that situational factors are positively and significantly to online learning preparation behaviors (r = 0.638, p<.01). The multiple regression analysis found that psychological traits, situations, and situational factors can predict online learning preparation behaviors of the sampling group by 36.80 %; the best predicting factor is an ability to control online learning behaviors. The high-risk groups include undergraduate female students, high-grade undergraduate students, and undergraduate students from Humanities Faculty, Sociology Faculty, and Business Management Faculty. The study suggests a guideline for online learning preparation in order to support the effective online learning and using the results of this study for other behavior studies in the area of online learning in the future.
