Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between "recognition of life" and "action in life" by adolescents by using a rating scale method. This method was carried out by surveying second grade senior high school students and university students: 575 survey respondents were senior high school students and 498 were university students. The students were surveyed under the following headings: (1) "Action in life" by adolescents; (2) "Recognition of life" by adolescents; (3) the relationship between the two. The results were as follows: "Action in life" by adolescents: 1 "Action in life" was analyzed using factor analysis. This revealed four factors including: a) green consumer style; b) active communication with family; c) housework skills; and d) social network. 2 There was a significant difference in opinions on "action in life" between senior high school students and university students. The scores on a questionnaire on "action in life" were higher for university students than for senior high school students. There was also a significant difference between males and females on this same issue. The results showed that females got higher scores than males on the questionnaire. "Recognition of life" by adolescents: 3 The last stage of the continuum of the "recognition of life" was future-oriented "recognition of life". "Recognition of life" was affected by social evaluation and human relationships. The scores for future-oriented "recognition of life", social evaluation and human relationships for the university students were higher than those for the senior high school students and the scores of females were higher than those of males.
