    This study focused on relationships between social situations of wearing and perceived importance of clothing standards as a social psychological approach to clothing norms which people share implicitly or explicitly and which regulate their clothing in various social situations. Subjects were 566 students and 770 adults. They completed the scales of clothing consciousness (how conscious they are of their own clothing) and perceived importance of clothing standards (how important they perceive that 12 standards are in choosing their clothing) in 10 situations. Factor analyses of the situations by clothing consciousness and of the clothing standards revealed three factors respectively. The former meant formal, semi-formal, and informal situations of wearing. The latter meant social harmony, individuality and fashion, and utility. Analyses of variance (ANOVAs) and correlational analyses showed that the scores of these factors and the correlations among them were substantially different depending on situations. Some differences in age and gender were also found.

    This study has investigated influences of individual difference variables on the relationships between social situations of wearing and perceived importance of clothing standards. 566 students and 770 workers were asked to rate the degree of clothing consciousness and the perceived importance of 12 clothing standards in 10 social situations. They also completed the scales of self-consciousness, need for uniqueness, and self-esteem. Correlations among these variables were caluculated.
    The main results were as follows :
    1. Self-consciousness had positive correlation with the perceived importance of clothing standards in social stuations of wearing. Especially, public self-consciousness correlated with both the degree of clothing consciousness and the perceived importance of clothing standards.
    2. Need for uniqueness had little relation to the perceived importance of clothing standards.
    3. Self-esteem tended to positively correlate with the percieved importance of clothing standards, which were “social harmony” in formal situations and “individuality and fashion” in informal situations.

    In order to make clear the psycho-social function of dressing behavior in the elderly, this study examined the relevancy of four constructive concepts: dressing standard, willingness to autonomy, self-consciousness and subjective state of the mental and physical health. Sixty-five to ninety-one years old elders (n=110) who live in a retirement home answered a questionnaire in August, 1997. Major findings obtained were as follows:
    1. Four factors in the elder's dressing standard were extracted as a result of factor analysis : personal taste in dress, fashion, function and social dressing norm.
    2. The relevancy among four constructive concepts was shown in everyday clothing, but not in street clothes.
    3. About dressing standard, fashion is the main priority in everyday clothing, while social dressing norm is the main priority in street clothes.
    4. Judging from 2. and 3., it is suggested that future studies should investigate the everyday clothing in the elder's clothing behavior.

    In order to investigate the factors in the feminization of men's fashion, a questionnaire was completed by two hundred twenty seven (227) male university students. First, factor analysis was used to select items. The nine factors produced by factor analysis were used as explanatory variables in multiple regression analysis, which used outcome variables defined by items that measured past, present, and future reasons for wearing feminine clothing. Past, present and future reasons for wearing feminine clothing were determind by “ease of obtaining the clothing”, “other's fashion tastes”, and “feminine characteristics in the self”. Additionaly, “fashionable” determined past and present reasons ; the “fit of the clothing” determined present and future reasons ; and “desire for fresh look” determined future reasons for wearing feminine clothing.
