Part 1: An Attempt at Estimating the ‘Standardized Clothing Value’ Adjusted for Ambient Temperature and Physiological Human FactorsAsako Okukubo, Tsunemi Sakai, R. J. Irving1986 Volume 27 Issue 12 Pages 532-538

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAs the first step for the present study, an attempt was made to estimate the ‘standardized clothing value (SCV) ’ in which the bias due to the effects of ambient temperature and physiological human factors has been eliminated from actual clothing value.
Field surveys were carried out involving Japanese school pupils, office workers and English office workers during winter in both Osaka and Guildford, United Kingdom, from which a total of 2554 effective respondents were obtained and the data taken from them were used for this analysis.
For each group of respondents an equation for estimating the ‘SCV’ was led out by means of multiple regression analysis, and we could confirm the validity of the ‘SCV’ calculations applying it to a few examples. Considerable individual differences still existed in terms of the ‘SCV’ although it was less than that for the actual clothing values.View full abstractDownload PDF (915K) -
Part 2: Personal Human Factors Affecting the Amounts of Clothing Worn by Japanese Office WorkersAsako Okukubo, Tsunemi Sakai1986 Volume 27 Issue 12 Pages 539-545

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe main purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of personal human factors on the individual differences of the amounts of clothing worn. The standardized clothing value (SCV) developed in Part 1, was applied for the amount of clothing. Eight hundred and forty effective data obtained from Japanese office workers who took part in the field survey conducted during winter were used for the analysis.
It was found by means of the quantification method I that the personal human factors affecting the‘SCV’ were: cognition on the relation of clothing habits to health, clothing comfort factors to which importance was attached, sporting activity, living habits on rubbing ones naked skin with a dry cloth, and warming oneself using a footwarmer. The contrasted character determined between those who wore less and more clothing in those human factors was interpreted as reasonable.
The respondents who wore light or heavy clothing accordingly complaining of either cold or heat discomfort, attached biased importance to clothing comfort factors and warmed themselves using a footwarmer for longer periods than those who were thermally comfortable. As a noteworthy fact, a higher rate of catching a cold during winter was observed for those who felt uncomfortable.View full abstractDownload PDF (931K)
