Results ⑴The scores of college students' health behaviors: 13.7% of them failed, 79.2% of them scored between 60-80 points, while only 7.1% of them scored more than 80 points. The factors such as gender, grade, family address, major and whether the student is the only child in his/her family have no significant effect on their health behaviors(P <0.05). Among the four dimensions of health behaviors, interpersonal support behavior ranks the first, followed by personal life style, study-related behaviors and pressure management behaviors.⑵Among the 620 students who were investigated, the average achievement motivation score is 2.46±8.87, and 64.4% of the 620 students cored more than 0. The factors such as gender, grade, family address, major and whether the student is the only child in his/her family have no significant effect on their health behaviors(P <0.05). The total score of achievement motivation and its dimensions and the total score of health behaviors are positively related.
