Abstract
Existing research on the psychology of appearance is somewhat insufficient. However, appearance not only significantly influences individuals' quality of life but also serves as a crucial factor in their interactions with society. In this context, research on the psychology of appearance is expected to provide other academic disciplines and industries with useful insights. Therefore, in this symposium, experts from adjacent fields—sports science, medicine, and information engineering—as well as professionals from the apparel industry and general consumers were invited to discuss how research on the psychology of appearance is relevant to their respective domains. The symposium aimed to explore the potential contributions of the psychological study of appearance based on expectations from other fields. Subsequently, discussions were held to determine what actions can be taken from the psychological perspective.
