The present study was an investigation of motives for entering physical therapy school in terms of understanding students' awareness and attitude. Multiple regression analysis was performed on the resulting correlation coefficients between scores representing identity, moratorium, self-esteem, physical therapist image, and motives for entering school. Furthermore a path diagram was prepared centering on motives for entering school. We found that physical therapist image and moratorium were related to motives for entering school (R 2 =0.152, p<0.01). The data also suggested that moratorium is an important factor in relation to motives for entering school, while identity did not exhibit a significant correlation in contributing to such motivation. The factors that may be responsible for this result remain unexplained, and it is necessary to consider subscales for each category in order to allow more detailed analysis.
