In the present study health behavior of 190 university female students were investigated. Subjects were divided into 2 groups (dieting group/not dieting group) and into three groups according to the ranks of Body Mass Index (BMI : regular, fat, thin). Dieting group showed significantly higher scores on the three items : "I want to reduce alcohol.", "I don't take too much fat.", "My figure is fat.", than not dieting group. According to the analysis based on the ranks of BMI, the main results were as follows : (1) subjects categorized into the fat rank group showed significantly higher scores on the items of "I want to reduce alcohol." and "I do not bathe in the sun.". (2) considering the relationship between dieting behavior and BMI rank, 37.4% of subjects categorized into the thin rank group were on a diet, and evaluated their figures much fatter than what they were in reality. These findings clarified that female students had motives to behave based on their sense of value of beauty and appearance.
