Abstract: Questionnaires were used on 201 female college students at the action phase of weight reduction to examine the effects of their coping plan, emotional regulation and ideal physical self on weight-reducing effect. The established structural equation model indicated that (1) Emotional regulation fully mediated the translating from coping plan to weight-reducing effect. (2) Ideal physical self moderated relationship between emotional regulation and weight-reducing effect. In lower group, the higher level of emotion regulation, the more conducive to the realization of weight loss goals. (3) Coping plan, emotional regulation, ideal physical self and weight-reduction effect formed a moderated mediator model. (4) The moderated mediator model had no significant difference between blind losing weight group and the reasonable one. Now it comes to the conclusions that coping plan boosted weight-reducing effect by enhancing emotional regulation whether on the group ought to lose weight or not. The whole process was moderated by ideal physical self, the lower level of which may help to achieve the weight loss goals.

Key words: female college students, weight-reducing effect, coping plan, emotional regulation, ideal physical self
