Social psychological review to agricultural modernization for the improvement of rice production in Anggeraja Sub-district, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

The study aims to find out social psychological factor to agricultural modernization in improving rice production in Anggeraja Sub-district, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. Methods applied herein are questionnaire, interview, documentation, and observational methods. The finding indicates that educated farmers perform the more positive participation compared to uneducated farmers either in attending the arranged counseling or executing the instructions given by officers. Both hypotheses reflect farmer's attitude to agricultural modernization; thus, hypothesis proposing that "success and failure of agricultural modernization in Anggeraja Sub-district is affected by attitude of farmers therein" is also acceptable.
