This is documented by a self-questionnaire, and the collecting data is through stratified cluster random sampling.The study group was composed of students from the junior high schools of Sung-Shan District in Taipei during their first semester of the 2008 . The study randomly of which 498 copies were effectively retrieved and thus the effective retrieving ratio is 96%. The essential results were discovered are as follows： 1.According to the members studied, most of them are considered to be”Normal”and the least of them are “Obesity”.However, most of the members studied think they are”heavy”and expect themselves to be slender. 2.“Sex”,”Body Weight”,”Locus of control “,”Significant others”and”Media”showed significantly correlations with body image. 3.“Sex”,”Actual Body Weight”,”Self-perceived Body Weight”,”Significant others”,”Media”,”Body Image”showed significantly correlations with “dietary restraint”of weight-control . Besides of that, the”physical activity”of weight control have a correlation with the factor of “Sex”,”Actual Body Weight”,”Self-perceived Body Weight”,”Appearance judgement “and “Body Image” the especially on Boys,overweight or fit,highly sastisfy with their appearance and people who has positive body image tend to do exercise more. 4.Individual and Sociocultural factors ,body image could explain 28﹪variance on “dietary restraint”. The main predictors are”Sex”,”Self-perceived body weight”,”Locus of control “,”Significant Others”,”Media”,’Body Image”and the most influential element is”Body image”.What’s more, we could explain 23﹪variance if we use individual and sociocultural factors to predict “physical activity”and thus the main predict factors are”Sex”,”Actual Body Weight”,”Self-perceived body weight”and that the factor of”Sex”is the most influential one.
