An examination of sex differences in relation to the eating habits and nutrient intakes of university students.

Objectives: To examine sex differences in eating habits and nutrient intakes and explore whether eating habits mediate the effects of sex on nutrient intakes and whether sex moderates the effects of eating habits on nutrient intakes.

Methods: Cross-sectional survey of eating habits and food-intake frequency in a convenience sample of college students.

Results: Male students (n = 172) consumed a higher energy content from fat, a larger amount of fiber, and more fruits and vegetables, and engaged less often in various healthful eating habits (eg, reading food labels, having breakfast) than female students (n = 316).

The impact of an experiential education program on the self-perceptions and perceived social regard of physical education students.

This study investigated the effectiveness of an 8-month Team Building through Physical Challenges (TBPC; Glover & Midura, 1992) program on the self-perceptions and perceived social regard of middle school physical education students (N = 1802). Data were analyzed using multilevel analyses where midpoint and final evaluations were conducted separately. Results revealed that at the midpoint evaluation, students in the experimental and control conditions were not different on any of the subscales assessed.

Explaining the self-conception of perceived conduct using indicators of moral functioning in physical education.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether four indicators of moral functioning in physical education (moral judgment, moral reason, moral intention, and prosocial behavior) predicted the self-conception of perceived conduct. Participants were 204 male (n = 87) and female (n = 117) physical education students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. For the male students, the four indicators of moral functioning were found to be highly related, and, so, no subsequent analyses were conducted.
