Describes the physical characteristics of the village Banoi; the methods of research for the study; and Thai village organization characterized by absence of binding mutual rights and obligations. Deals with family and kinship; mon-kin based interpersonal relations; economic patterns of land-owners and non-owners; village religion; and relationship of the village to the nation, citing government road and dam construction and health programs. Considers changes in means for obtaining traditional goals and disillusionment with traditional goals. Describes the process of interaction and the attitudes which inform specific interpersonal postures. Examines personal isolation, abhorrence and avoidance of face-to-face unpleasantness, and the ambivalence with respect to supportive-dependency relations. Interprets motivational elements in regard to structuring of interpersonal relationship and with respect to their ontogenesis. [TAIC]
