Result: The boys are more significant than girls(p<.05) in physical self-concept except “softness” and “figure” (p>.05). The 5th grade students are significantly higher than the 6th grade students(p<.05) at “endurance” and “appearance”. Besides, students in Cishan Township are more significant than ones in Gangshan Township and Fongshan City(p<.05) excluding “figure” and “strength” (p>.05). Boy’s motivation of sports participation are more than girl’s(p<.05), but “suggestion and encouragement” is excluded(p>.05). Nevertheless, “suggestion and encouragement” in the 5th grade is higher than the 6th grade(p<.05). “Amusement” occurred in Cishan Township students is also higher than Gangshan Township(p<.05).
