Abstract: Based on the predictive models of female body dissatisfaction,the current study attempted to enhance body satisfaction and built healthy body viewpoint among adolescent girls,by means of a system of cognition-orientated intervention activities in regular training courses.The statistical result indicated that the intervention program could effectively prevent the further increase of junior girls'body dissatisfaction,while the difference between intervention group and controlled group of senior girls were not statistically significant.According to the survey and interviews conducted to girls in intervention group,researchers found that intervention program had a certain positive impact on both junior girls and senior girls.In addition,the results revealed that most parents reported their satisfaction to our intervention activities in the survey.These finding suggest that implementing the school-based intervention program has some certain feasibility and it's worth further expanding and promoting.
