本研究在瞭解女大學生的自慰現況，並探究自慰態度與身體意象、性態度間的關聯性。研究選取南部地區大專院校共20所學校、五類學院之女大學生進行抽樣，共發出1120份問卷，回收之有效問卷為940份。研究結果發現南部地區之女大學生有自慰經驗者為26.6%，初次自慰年齡平均為15.04歲，有少數人對於自慰抱持負面且壓抑的態度；有伴侶者比無伴侶者在自慰態度上較為開放；無自慰經驗者對於體重的變化與節食會較為關注，而有自慰經驗者則對於外表的吸引力滿意度較高，且性愛觀念上較為開放；感受到父母自慰態度愈正向開放時，女大學生對自我之外表的吸引力與滿意度較高，較能悅納自我外表。自慰態度愈正向者，身體意象愈正向。本研究可作為教育與諮商輔導界對女性情慾介入之參考。
