| Research Abstract |
This study used two questionnaire forms (i.e., form-A and form-B). Data was obtained from full-time high school surveys conducted between January and March 2012. The sample of the form-A consists of 731 2nd-year students at five high schools and that of the form-B consists of 1,462 2nd-year students at nine high schools, selected from the entire nation by stratified single-step cluster sampling. The results show three central findings.
(1) The levels of using cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana/hashish, sedatives, and tranquilizers are shown in each questionnaire form.
(2) Frequency distributions of seven lifestyle variables (e.g., work, exercise, breakfast, sleeping, etc.) by total and by gender are shown in each questionnaire form.
(3) As a result of the form-B, the number of working hours in a paid job is positively related with earnings, skipping classes, and going out, whereas it is negatively related with aspiring to a four-year college graduation and participating in extracurricular activities.
