The 6 subvariables of this scale were powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation, cultural estrangement and self-estrangement. The reliablity of this instrument was Chronbach’s a~.9311O.
For assessing physical health, physical health scale revised by Yang based on Cornell Medical Index (CMI) was used.

3. In the relationship between general characteristics of subjects and alienation, sex(t=2.
41, p=.016), humanities or vocational high school (F=-3.12, p=.002). economic state (F=.612, p=.
035) and conversation hours with parents (F=5.143, p=.000) were significant differences.

In the relationship between general characteristics of subjects and physical health, humanities or vocational (t=2.350, p=.019), religion(t=2.020, p=.044)，brotherhood order (F=3.028, p=.020) and conversation with hours parents (F=2.492, p=,042) were significant differences.
