| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to certify the reliability and validity of a newly developed scale of mood control for school students and to investigate associations between the scale and the various variables on their lifestyle. In the pilot studies for 476 male and female junior high school students (7-9^<th> grade) and 76 female senior high school students (10^<th> grade), the coefficients of reliability (Cronbach's alpha) are rather high and the correlation coefficients (by Fisher's exact test) are also quite high with other mood-related scales such as the DSD (the DSM scale for depression) and EAT-26(the Eating Attitudes Test). Thus, the reliability and validity of the mood control scale are sufficient for general use. In the main studies for 523 male and female senior high school students who go to flex-type schools, the positive rate (with problematic symptoms) are higher among the subjects who go to bed after 12:00 p.m., get up around 7:00 a.m., have poor feelings when they awake, and feel shortage of total sleep. Also, in the control group of 1060 preliminary school children (4-6^<th> grade), 1092 junior high school students (7-9^<th> grade), and 749 senior high school students (10-11^<th> grade), a strong association between the mood control scale and the dependency of TV watching and internet using is found. We can conclude that certain strong associations between mood control and several basic variables of school students' lifestyle exist.
