Abstract
Purpose: To examine the factors predicting academic performance in baccalaureate
students Thammasat University.
Design: Descriptive predictive research
Method: Data were collected from 250 baccalaureate students Thammasat University;
using a personal data, the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory School Form, the Center
for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D), and the Resourcefulness Scale (RS).
The reliabilities of these questionnaires were 0.71, 0.83 and 0.81 respectively. The data

enhancement of self-esteem in baccalaureate students may help them improve their
