The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of self- presentation and psychological needs on exercise dependence symptoms among undergraduate students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A total of 1,784 students served as the parent population, and they all completed the fitness test and agreed to complete and fill scales on self-presentation, psychological needs, and exercise dependence. Those achieving an average score of more than four in the Exercise Dependence Scale dimensions were selected as the participants. The data were analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis. Results showed that 15 percent of common variance occurring in mood disturbance could be explained by ability presentation, autonomy, and competence, while 12 percent of common variance in physical and social discomfort could be explained by physical attractiveness and competence. Also, eight percent of common variance in decreased vigor can be explained by physical attractiveness and related feelings. It was concluded that the exercise dependence symptoms were more prominent when the individual presented him/herself through physical attractiveness and presentation ability. The symptoms were not significant when psychological needs existed in the exercise participation behavior.
