| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to specify the factors that affect the eating behaviors of high school and junior high school students. Main findings are as follows:
1) It is found that individual attributes, lifestyle/independence, dining environment/atmosphere, family relationships, and living place affect the habits of skipping meals and picky eating observed among high school and junior high school students. Further, the frequency of skipping meals may increase while the tendency towards picky eating may decrease as students progress to higher grades.
2) It is suggested that the main determinants of irregular eating behavior in female high school students are irregular lifestyle habits, insecure friendship, an insecure parent-child relationship, and stifling atmosphere during meals. Among the above four factors, irregular lifestyle habits and insecure friendship adversely influence the eating behavior of female high school students to a greater extent than the other two factors do.
