1. The distribution of general characteristics of subjects was classified as female 273 persons(71.3%), the age of 242 persons(63.2%) was above than 30 years, the major of 271 students(70.7%) was cultural-social science including mostly social welfare, the religion of 279 students(72.8%) was christian including protestant and catholic, 273 students(71.3%) were living at their homes and monthly personal expenses of 118 students(30.8%) were less than 200,000 won while that of 37 students(9.7%) was 500,000 won or more. 2. The mean of performance degree for total HPLS of the subjects was 2.51±0.42 points among 4.00 points. The means of perfomance degree by area of HPLS were calculated as spiritual development 2.99±0.60, public relationship 2.84±0.57, nutrition 2.53±0.59, stress management 2.37±0.57, exercise 2.19±0.75, health responsiblity 2.08±0.63. 3. The significantly related factors of total HPLS are age(p<0.05), health perception(p<0.01), self-efficacy(p<0.001), health locus of control-powerful others(p<0.05), and health locus of control-accidental(p<0.05). The model composed of this five factors explained 20.2% of total HPLS. 4. Among the significantly related factors by areas of HPLS, the factors related with spiritual development which showed the biggest point were age(p<0.05), religion(p<0.01), health perception(p<0.05), self-efficacy(p<0.001). The factors related with health responsibility which showed the lowest point were health perception(p<0.05), self-efficacy(p<0.001) and health locus of control-accidental(p<0.001).
