摘 要 本研究為一調查研究且採用自填式問卷為研究工具,旨在探討不同「塑身美容課程經驗」女性學員之身體意象與學習動機之差異。母群體為九十二學年度第二學期就讀於台北市社區大學女性學員,以立意抽樣方式,選取14個班級的女學生為研究對象,最後得有效樣本284份。所得資料以t考驗、皮爾森積差相關、卡方檢定來進行處理,並得到以下重要結果: (一)、受試者之身體意象因不同塑身美容課程經驗而有顯著差異。發現有塑身美容課程經驗之受試者具有較高之身體意象。 (二)、受試者之學習動機因不同塑身美容課程經驗而有顯著差異。發現有塑身美容課程經驗之受試者具有較高之學習動機,並且發現有參加塑身美容課程經驗者具有較高之外界期望動機;而沒有塑身美容課程經驗者具有較高之求知興趣動機。 (三)、不同背景變項之受試者其身體意象有顯著差異,發現在年齡上,不同年齡層在身體意象上之差異達顯著水準,而「23-40歲」的受試者身體意象高於「41-60歲」的受試者;在學歷上,不同學歷之受試者在身體意象上之差異達顯著水準;在職業上,不同職業之受試者身體意象之差異達顯著水準。 關鍵詞:身體意象、學習動機、塑身美容課程經驗
Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the body image and learning motivation of female students participating in somatic courses in Taipei community colleges. The samples (n=284) are selected by purpose sampling. Data are collected through self-administered questionnaires. And the statistic methods include T test,Pearson product-moment correlation and Chi-square Test. The research conclusions are as following: 1. The body images of females differ from the different experiences of somatic courses. The research reveals that females having the experiences of somatic courses have stronger body images than those having no experiences of somatic courses. Meanwhile, the difference reaches the significant level. 2. The learning motivations of females differ from the different experiences of somatic courses and the difference reaches the significant level. The research finds that females having somatic course experiences keep stronger learning motivations. Besides, those having somatic course experiences have stronger social relationship motivations. On the contrast, those who have no somatic course experiences have stronger interests in knowledge. 3. Females from various backgrounds have significant differences between their body images. The research concludes that females of ages have significant differences between body images. The body images of those in age of 23 to 40 are stronger than those in age of 41 to 60. Furthermore, females obtaining different education degrees have significant differences between body images. Finally, females involving in different occupations also have significant differences between body images. Key words: Body image, Learning motivation, Somatic courses
