Abstract
The study was undertake to investigate of psychological aspect of young men and the difference in attitudes between men and women, as to a young woman's dieting. An interview survey was conducted with special focus being placed on each interviewee's personality and life-style. The interviewed group included 26 young men, 20-25 years old, living in a metropolitan area. Thirteen of the subjects were students and 13 were nonstudents.
The result of the interview showed that the young men from half the member up is grasping the dieting on a position of gender equality. The difference in their point of view between men and women was that the young men tend to grasp dieting as a subject of society. To prevent young women from dieting unnecessarily, it is effective that the young men and women jointly agree on the subject of dieting. Consequently, they can change the idea about dieting and the behavior of each other.
