Abstract

本研究旨在探討國中生休閒活動對身體意象影響之研究，以台北市九十四學年度七、八年級之全體學生為研究母群體，採多階段分層隨機抽樣，共獲得有效問卷1018份。本研究以「身體意象量表」、「休閒活動量表」、「重要他人對自身外表的評價量表」為研究工具。所得資料以描述性統計、t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾遜積差相關、階層複迴歸等統計方法進行分析。歸納結果如下：

一、研究樣本參與休閒活動之類型，以娛樂性的休閒活動所佔比率最高，其次為體能性及知識性之休閒活動，較少參與社交服務性、藝文性的休閒活動。 二、男生對自己的外表評價最差，健康評價最好，重視體能鍛練；女生對自己的外表、體能評價普遍較低，對健康評價最好，較重視外表的裝扮，覺得自己過重，擔心自己變胖，比男生重視體重的變化。就身體各部位的滿意度來看，男、女生對於健康、臉部較滿意，對身高及體重較不滿意。 三、較常從事休閒活動者，對於自己的外表、體能、健康有較好的評價，較滿意度身體各部位；另外，對於身材外表的修飾較重視，主動培養良好的體能，追求健康的身體。 四、在乎重要他人對自身外表的評價者，對自我的外表有較高的評價，重視外表的打扮及健康生活的要求，較關心體重的變化，且自認為體重較重。 五、整體而言，個人背景因素方面，以性別、身體質量指數對身體意象最具預測力，其次為身體發展成熟度、家庭社經地位、年級；休閒活動方面，以體能性休閒活動對身體意象最具預測力，其次為知識性、娛樂性、社交服務休閒活動；藝文性休閒活動則不具預測力；在重要他人評價方面，父母評價、同儕評價對身體意象皆具有預測力。The object of the study is to discuss that leisure activities influence on body image of students in junior high school in Taipei City.
