Abstract
Protecting yourself against epidemics has become a daily practice in this new normal period, including not being carriers of diseases that can infect others. This behavioral science research aimed to investigate the power of prediction of behavioral science factors on communicable disease preventive behavior in public places. The 147 village health volunteers in Chok Chai sub-district, Doi Luang district, Chiang Rai province, were collected using the questionnaires with reliability between .805-.927. The data were analyzed and presented by descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression analysis (HMRA). The results showed that the behavioral science factors (mindfulness, social support, cultural characteristics) were co-predictions of communicable disease preventive behavior in public places around 25.50 percent with statistical significance at the .05 level, mindfulness in the awareness and social support in the information support aspect were the significant predictors (β=.350, β=.352, p<.01). These findings have significant implications for future research and intervention.
