Abstract:	In considering that body image-related perceptions may be associated with weight trainers' exercise dependence, the purpose of this study was to examine the (a) relationship between body dissatisfaction and drive for muscularity and (b) drive for muscularity as a mediator of the body dissatisfaction-exercise dependence relationship. In sum, 278 male weight trainers (M-age =29.03 years, SD = 7.83) residing in a southern city of Taiwan completed scales of body dissatisfaction, drive for muscularity, and exercise dependence. Pearson correlation analysis found that body dissatisfaction, drive for muscularity, and exercise dependence were all correlated. Further, the indirect mediation model with bootstrapping found that drive for muscularity partially mediated the body dissatisfaction-exercise dependence relationship (c path: beta = .51, SE = 0.07, p=.001: c ' path: beta = .13, SE = 0.80, p = .03). We concluded that male weight trainers' body image-related perceptions influence exercise behavior and suggested that body image-related perceptions might be considered in studying exercise dependence.
