This study investigated the self-perception of body image and awareness of diet of high school students in Zibo city, China. The data were collected from 260 high school students through the self-administered questionnaires. Frequency analysis, t tests, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range tests, factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha test were conducted by SPSS Windows V.19.0. The results were as follows. In the self-perception of body image, two fifths of the respondents thought of themselves as standard body image. More female respondents thought of themselves as fat persons compared with male respondents. The level of concern about diet was generally low and the mean for pursuit of skinny figure was highest in the awareness of diet. The percentage of correct answers of knowledge about diet was not that high, and one fifths of respondents had experience of diet. The respondents practiced fasting therapy, exercise therapy, food therapy, sweat therapy, drug/appliance therapy, and therapy using professional organization in order for diet.

설득 테크놀로지(persuasive technology)란 컴퓨터화된 다양한 시스템을 이용하여 사용자의 행동 양식과 태도를 변화시키는 상호작용 기술을 의미한다. 설득 테크놀로지는 사람들의 태도나 행동을 변화시키기 위해 미리 어떠한 의도를 가지고 설계된다. 즉 어떠한 목적을 가진 설득 테크놀로지냐에 따라서 설득의 전략이 달라지는 것이다. 설득에 영향을 주는 수많은 요인들 중에서 어떤 것을 적절히 활용하느냐가 설득 전략의 기초가 된다. 설득 테크놀로지는 광고, 교육, 안전 등 여러 분야에서 사용이 되고 있다, 그 중에서도 최근 주목 받고 있는 식생활 및 다이어트에 관한 셀프 모니터링(self-monitoring) 설득 테크놀로지를 설계할 때 어떠한 설득 전략을 세워야 하는지 연구해 보았다. 다이어트를 위한 식생활 변화를 위해서는 사람들의 자발적인 행동과 태도 변화를 이끌어 내는 것을 목적으로 해야 하기 때문에 구체적인 사용자 동기 유발 전략을 필요로 한다. 인간의 동기 유발을 위한 설득 전략으로 동료 압력(peer-pressure), 정보원의 공신력(information source public trust), 피드백(feedback) 방법을 다이어트 설득 테크놀로지에 적용 시켜 어느 정도 효과가 있는지 살펴보았다. 이 연구는 이러한 요인들을 적용한 다이어트에 대한 동기유발 실험을 통해 각 요인들간의 설득의 정도를 비교 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 다이어트, 금연 등의 생활패턴의 개선 이외에도 의료, 교육, 환경 등 다양한 분야에서 사용자가 스스로를 좋은 방향으로 나아가게 동기화 시키는 컴퓨터화 된 기술을 개발하는 토대가 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sociodemographic factors, BMI, self-esteem, body image, and external factors including parents, peers, and mass media on dieting behavior. The data were collected from 360 high school students in Gyeongbuk region. The respondents who have performed diet in the past or present were classified into the diet group. The students of diet group and non-diet group were 238 and 122, respectively. Frequencies, Cronbach's $\alpha$, t tests, and logistic regression analysis were carried out by SPSS Windows V.17.0. The results of this study were as follows. The diet group had higher level of BMI and concerns about diet than non-diet group. In addition, the diet group showed the more positive attitude about diet, and lower level of self-esteem and body image than the non-diet group. The diet group was more influenced by parents, peers, and mass media on body type than the non-diet group. Finally, according to the result of logistic regression analysis, BMI, attitude about diet, body image, effect of peers on body type, and effect of mass media on body type were significant factors to determine dieting behavior. These results imply that mass media should inform adolescents of proper body image and knowledge about diet. In addition, education for regular exercise also needs for healthy diet.

This study was performed to investigate the nutrition status by weight loss(diet) of 287 female college students, focus on questionnaire about diet survey. The subjects mainly had irregularly one or two meal per a day so food behavior was not good. Over half of subjects had a tendency to overestimate body shape of self. The desired weight(46.95$\pm$0.39kg) was significant lower than real weight(50.32$\pm$0.9)(p=0.0114). The time when diet is first tried was mainly after high school(94.51%). Mean weight loss was 1~4kg but most of subjects didn't maintain the lost weight. The diet approach method tried was sequently the fasting 1 meal or the more in a day(23.61%), exercise(21.92%), restricting calories(15.85%) etc. The source of diet was orderly newspaper or magazine(30.86%), friends or relatives or family(28.86%) etc. The group who recognized the self body shape was normal or a little fat had higher self notion of health than other groups.

The characteristics of mash qualities of takju prepared by addition of chestnut peel powder(5%, 10%, 20% and 30% per steamed rice) were investigated during fermentation. That is, in all fermentation periods, changes of pit total acid, organic acids, solids, amino nitrogen, total sugar and reducing sugar, microorganisms, alcohol and color were determined and analyzed. There was significant differences in characteristics of mash qualities by addition of chestnut peel powder. In general, contents of total acid, organic acids, amino nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar and ethanol of takju added with chestnut peel powder were lower than those of steamed rice only, whereas solid contents was higher. But ethanol content of takju added with 5% of chestnut peel powder after 8 days of fermentation was 9.6% which was similar to that of takju prepared by addition of steamed lice only. Also, microbial populations such as total viable cells, yeast and lactic acid bacteria of the treatments were increased to about $10^8CFU/mL$ after 2 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually. In the beginning stage of fermentation color differences value of the treatments were $1.99{\sim}10.27$, and the differentials reduced gradually during fermentation.

This study examined whether any differences were found in body comparison, body satisfaction, and appearance management behaviors according to socialcultural attitudes toward appearance among male and female adolescents in Gwangju and Jeolla province. It was conducted by a self-report survey of 598 male and female students in eigth and eleventh grades in Gwangju and Jeonnam province, South Korea. The collected survey data were analyzed by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, Factor analysis, ${\chi}^2$ test, K-means cluster analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's grouping using SPSS/PC WIN 19.0 statical program. The results were as the following: Adolescents perceived and internalized more highly than the common level the socialcultural value toward appearance, especially for female, and by age, juniors in high school than in middle school. Socialcultural attitudes toward appearance could be classified into four categories: 'Accepted type', 'internal type', 'aware type', and 'unaccepted type'. Students who were classified as 'accepted type', and 'internal type' showed lower level of body satisfaction and compared their bodies more often with others. They also actively received appearance management behaviors. Therefore, they showed positive attitude toward cosmetic surgery and functional garments. They also worked hard to reduce their weights just to show off to others. In conclusion, it is necessary for education programs to protect self-esteem of adolescents from the socialcultural distortion to appearance.

The purposes of this study were to investigate self-assertiveness, self-esteem, depression and abnormal eating attitudes among female university students with weight control experience and to identify the factors that influence abnormal eating attitudes. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire form 170 Korean female university students by convenient sampling methods form May 1 to June 30, 2013. A multiple linear regression showed that depression(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.029) was identified as significant predictors of self control of eating and bulimic symptom. Self-esteem(${\beta}$=-0.22 p=.019) and depression(${\beta}$=0.18, p=.043) were identified as significant predictors of food preoccupation. Self-esteem(${\beta}$=-0.35, p<.001) was identified as significant predictors of preoccupation with being thinner. Self-assertiveness(${\beta}$=0.22, p=.008) and depression(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.034) were identified as significant predictors of preoccupation for dieting. Therefore, for implement the healthy weight control and reducing abnormal eating attitudes, as a strategy for improving self-esteem and self-expressiveness and controlling depression, psychological and mental nursing intervention will be needed.
