It has been pointed out that the physical fitness of young people has been going down many years. The sports test is carried out within physical exercise classes every year in Gakushuin University. The subjects were mainly the first-year students who took physical exercise classes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the present physical conditions of students in this university by analyzing their data of the sports test in 2005. Results were as follows. 1. Physical fitness of the students in the physical exercise classes was lower than the national standards in both male and female. 2. There were no significant differences among four groups; those were divided by admission differences in male students. 3. Female students from the attached high school were superior to the other students in three factors. 4. Students who had not done physical exercise regularly were significantly inferior to the other students in all factors. 5. Male students who were participating in the varsity sports activities were superior to the students who belonged to sports circles in endurance and power. 6. Female students who were participating in the varsity sports activities were superior to the students who belonged to sports circles in endurance and back strength.

本研究では,大学生のゆとり感,ユーモア態度,生活習慣,セルフエステイームを調査し,相互の関連を追究した結果,以下に示す知見を得た。ゆとり感の因子分析では「将来への見通し」,「余暇時間」,「仲間関係」,「日常生活」,「家庭環境」の5つの因子が抽出され,5つの因子で全変動の40.6%が説明できた。ユーモア態度の囚子分析では「攻撃的な笑い」,「単純な笑い」,「人を励ます笑い」,「自分を励ます笑い」の4つの因子が抽出され,4つの囚子で全変動の50.1%が説明できた。男女とも生活習慣の良い者ほどゆとり得点が多く,セルフエステイームの高い者ほどゆとり感があった。男子は女子より攻撃的ユーモアが強いことが認められた。以上のように,ゆとり感については生活習慣,セルフエステイームのいずれとも関連が認められ,生活習慣が良い者,セルフエステイームが高い者ほどゆとり感が高く,ゆとりのある生活を送っていることが示された。

This study investigated the relationship between eating habits and self-esteem by means of a questionnaire.The group comprised 498 male and 485 female, university students. The questionnaire made reference to nine eating habits and 15 food intake conditions. These were then measured against self-esteem. Subjects who ate a well balanced diet of three daily meals, seldom eating between meals with no late-night snack exhibited higher self-esteem scores than those who did not. Subjects who consumed alcohol exhibited higher self-esteem scores than those who did not. Intake of pulse, fruits and vegetables had a significant positive correlation with self-esteem among male subjects. Intake of seaweed had a significant positive correlationwith self-esteem among female subjects. In conclusion, the positive interaction between a good nutritional diet and self-esteem has been demonstrated, however the correlation between alcohol abstention and self-esteem was not.本研究は大学生(男子498名,女子485名)の食習慣,食品摂取とセルフエステイームとの関わりについて追究した。その結果,男女とも食習慣では「食事の規則性」,「偏食の状況」,「間食習慣の状況」,「栄養バランスの状況」の4習慣において,好ましい(食事が規則的である・好き嫌いがない・間食習慣がない・栄養のバランスに気をつける)群のセルフエステイームが高く,「飲酒習慣の状況」では,好ましくない(飲酒習慣がある)群のセルフエステイームが高いことが認められた。食品摂取に関しては,男子では「豆製品」,「緑黄色野菜」,「果物類」を摂取している群のセルフエステイームが高く,女子では「海藻類」を摂取している群のセルフエステイームが高いことが認められた。以上,今回の調査からは,大学生の食習慣,食品摂取状況とセルフエステイームとの関連は強いことが分かった。
