碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 技職教育與人力資源發展研究所 === 97 === The purposes of this study were to explore the relationships among health promotion lifestyle reported by girls' senior high school students and psychological influential factors (i.e., health status, health concept, health self-efficacy, social support), and to examine the differences of health promotion lifestyle among individual variables (include grade, body mass index, body image, academic performance, academic achievement, sleeping hours etc). A stratified cluster method was used to sample 810 students from six girls' senior high schools in Tainan city. The 747 valid questionnaires were returned and valid response rate was 92.22%. The data were analyzed by frequency distribution, percentile, means, standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer method post-hoc comparison, and stepwise multiple regression. The main findings of this study were as follows: ．Most of senior high school girls' students had under weight or over weight, and had poor behaviors in exercise and health responsibility. ．Significant differences existed in the individual variables on total health promotion lifestyle and sub-scale dimensions. ．Significant differences existed in the individual variables on psychological influential factors of health responsibility and nutrition. ．All predictor variables (health concept, perceived health status, health self-efficacy, and social support) together accounted for a significant amount of variance (46.09%) on the health promotion lifestyle. According to the results of this study, the researcher tried to make not only some suggestions for educational authorities and school staffs but also study directions for future researchers.
