“…It is a variable which has been studied in conceptual frameworks together with the RTE variable since the theory was first developed (Royalty et al, 1986). Later, there were a number of studies supporting its influence in counselling psychology students and beyond (Bieschke et al, 1996;Khan, 2001;Khan & Scott, 1997;Law & Guo, 2011), including doctoral students in the field of education (Lambie et al, 2014;Quimbo & Sulabo, 2014). There is a definition and tool to measure research interests during and after study via the same variable.…”

The research training environment (RTE) is an important factor for enhancing doctoral students’ research intentions (RI). This study aims to develop and validate the casual relationship model of the RTE and RI, mediated by research self-efficacy (RSE) and research engagement (RE), and examine differential RTE effects in years 1-3 of the doctoral program. The research sample consisted of 246 doctoral students in years 1-3 of their doctoral program, with the respondents randomly selected from 13 universities in Thailand. Data were collected via questionnaire and analyzed using an integrated generalized structured component analysis (IGSCA) with multigroup analysis. The findings have shown that there was no mediation effect of RE or RSE between the RTE and RI in the first year. In contrast, mediation effects of RE and RSE were found in the second (β = .097) and third years (β = .723) of the doctoral program. Based on the results, it is suggested that the RTE component associated with RSE should be established (e.g., allowing students to engage with their projects early and minimally) in the first year. Furthermore, it is recommended that RSE and RE be developed concurrently (e.g., encouraging students to share research ideas with others) in the second and third years.

Research training environment (RTE) has long standing in the psychological field, which improved the research interest in students, yet the study of RTE in the educational field still limited. Was the RTE model with the research training environment and research interest mediated by research outcome expectations and research self-efficacy fitted to the data well? The present study were 1) to develop and validate a causal model of RTE and 2) to test the mediating effects of research outcome expectations and research self-efficacy between research training environment and research interest. The questionnaire were translated and adapted from previous studies. Samples of the study consisted of 141 graduate students in the faculty of education, a national research university of Thailand. Structural equation modeling with maximum likelihood estimation was used to validate the research training environment model. Various tests were employed to examine the indirect effects in the model. The model was fitted to the data well (chi square = 24.292, df = 19, p = 0.185, CFI = 0.989, TLI = 0.978, RMR = 0.042, RMSEA = 0.045). Indirect effect testings indicated that research self-efficacy and research outcome expectations mediated the relationship between the research training environment and research interest. Even though the research training environment has no direct effect on research interest, it still is an important factor in the way of developing an interest of graduate students in the educational field as well as psychological related field. Besides, research training environment is such a practical factor that appropriate intervention can be developed.
