摘要

本研究旨在暸解大學生的健康概念、環保意識、蔬食行為及其相互之間的關係，以及大學生的健康概念與環保意識對蔬食行為的影響。經過問卷調查與分析，所得之結果與研究假設大部分相符，也能解釋研究對象之蔬食行為背後的影響因素，突破以往認為採取蔬食是因為宗教信仰，也侷限於中老年人的觀念，導入健康概念與環保意識，讓國人在飲食的選擇上，能有更寬拓的視野與考量。依據分析結果顯示，大學生的健康概念可分為安寧幸福與調適二層面，環保意識可分為環境關懷與環保行動二層面，而自覺安寧幸福的人，也較具自我調適與環境關懷的意識，同時也較會採取環保行動及蔬食行為，自我調過能力好的人，對環境也較為關懷，也採取較多的環保行動與蔬食行為，較具環境關懷意識的人，也比較會採取環保行動與蔬食行為，環保行動較多的人，採用蔬食行為的行動也較高。但是從個人背景變項來看，僅能發現經常蔬食的人比幾乎不吃蔬食的人，對蔬食行為的感受較佳，因為其他理由而不願蔬食的人，也比認為蔬食會造成營養不均衡的人，對蔬食行為的感受較佳，性別在此並未造成明顯差異。傳統觀念均認為女性比男性更具健康概念與環保意識，也會採取更多蔬食行為，但從本研究的結果卻無發現此差異，有可能是時代的變遷與教育水準的提升，使得此差異日漸縮小，但是在提升蔬食行為上，是否能有更有效的策略，則值得更進一步的探究。而本研究也建議應持續宣導蔬食行為能帶給健康與環保的正面效益，並鼓勵學校或周邊商家能多提供蔬食餐點，相信這樣對於提升大學生的蔬食行為含有所助益。

The health concept can be divided into two levels, one is peace and happiness and another is adaptation.
