JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA simple experiment was carried out to clear the feature of apparel color preferred by female college students. In the experiment, subjects were asked to classify 25 colors, which correspond to gross classification in “The Color Code for Investigation” published by Japan Color Research Institute, into three categories, i.e., usually preferred colors, occasionally preferred colors and disliked colors. The following features were observed The average number of usually preferred colors was 7±3 colors. While the most subjects preferred white, black, dark blue, brown and beige, the subjects were classified into three groups in terms of the preferences for the other colors. Each group preferred gray range, pink range, and olive range respectively. Orange, pink, yellow, and red which are included in warm hue range tend to be chosen as occasionally preferred colors. Purple, blue green, and yellow green, that is, intermediate hues tend to be chosen as disliked colors.View full abstractDownload PDF (1393K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWomen's bottom clothes are roughly divided into the pants style and the skirt style. In this study, the structure of psychological fashion risk and benefit of these two styles was examined by using a factor analysis. 200 women's college students replied to 30 questions about fashion risk, and 8 questions about taste and condition of use for these two styles. As a result of the factor analysis, two factors of “benefit of pants style” and “benefit of skirt style” were extracted. In these factors, a statistical significant difference was recognized between the average factor score of each style. Subjects were divided into three clusters of pants group, skirts group and middle group, and the relation of psychological fashion risk among these clusters was examined. A tendency was recognized that people who liked pants style evaluated strongly the benefit of pants and the risk of skirt, and people who liked skirts style evaluated strongly the benefit of skirt and the risk of pants.View full abstractDownload PDF (817K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwo-color combinations suitable to twelve adjectives (noisy, quiet, sporty, elegant, tense, loose, gorgeous, simple, like, dislike, harmonious, and disharmonious) were chosen by 36 to 53 female college students from pictures in fashion magazines published in Spring 2004 and Spring/Autumn 2005. The result s showed that two-color combinations between achromatic and chromatic colors were accounted as much as 46 % of all selections of picture samples. The most popular achromatic colors were white and black. The value- and chroma-differences of each color combination chosen for each adjective was plotted on a diagram, in which the chroma-difference was shown in the horizontal axis and the value-difference was represented in the vertical axis, keeping the value-difference always greater than or equal to zero. The sign tests on the plotted results of the judgments indicated statistically significant tendencies that the two-color combinations judged as “loose” and “simple” entered more frequently in the second quadrant, where the directions of value- and chroma-differences were different, than the first quadrant, where the directions of differences were same, in this diagram.View full abstractDownload PDF (1126K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhy do young people makeup in public scenes?
Main purpose of this study was to solve the constructions of young people's makeup behavior in public scenes, and the factors of individual difference and self deepness of makeup that specified them. As a result, it was made clear that structures of self deepness of makeup and makeup behavior in public scenes consisted of “social scene” and “individual scene”. For both male and female, “social scene” of makeup behavior in public scenes was specified “social scene” of self deepness of makeup and “individual scene” of makeup behavior in public scenes was specified “individual scene” of self deepness of makeup. For factors of self deepness of makeup which most strongly prescribed factors of makeup behavior in public scene was “individual scene”. About individual difference factors, in male, public-self consciousness specified makeup behavior in public scenes. In female, external others consciousness specified makeup behavior in public scenes.View full abstractDownload PDF (994K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study has focused on the everyday feeling adjustment with makeup. The psychological burden in the everyday life action including makeup and the feeling adjustment mechanism of skin care were investigated. The relationship between feeling adjustment of makeup, especially skin care and individual difference factors were also investigated.
In very day life action, for both men and women, “chat with friends”, “sleeping” and “listening to music” were amusement. By contrast, “studying for tests”, “attending school” and “school lesson” were burden.
It has shown that there are “peacefulness” and “momentum” in the feeling adjustment mechanism of skin care related with daily life which begins and ends with the activity of the day. Self and public-consciousness have influenced on the feeling adjustment mechanism.View full abstractDownload PDF (1038K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this survey is to investigate the cognitive structure of “clothing” using social network analysis techniques. A cognitive system of interconnected words or concepts for “clothing was described as patterns of ties (links) among words (nodes) . A free format ques-tionnaire consisted of two questions about “clothing”: (1) “What is clothing for you?” and (2) “What is clothing for human life?” There were two respondent groups of female students: One is a group of students studying apparel science. Another is a group of students studying other than apparel science. The cognitive network structures of “clothing” were assessed from results of input-output analysis and the graph theoretical analysis. About question (1), individual interests in “clothing” such as self-expression, pleasure, dress-up and so on were main components of “clothing”, but about question (2), fundamental functions of clothing, cultural and social aspects as well as individual interests were interconnected.View full abstractDownload PDF (834K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSeveral silhouette scales have been developed to assess body image. However, these scales are not based on objective data, and the lack of this objectivity has caused measure problems. This study aims to develop a new body silhouette scale (J-BSS-I), based on real and objective data, and it also aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the new scale. The pictures in J-BSS-I were drawn with a computer mannequin system “quete” that is based on HQL-owned human body size measurements and 3-D image data. The properties of the scale were evaluated by comparison with other silhouette scales based on the responses of participants, most of whom in their late teens or twenties (n=305: 105 males, 199 females, and 1 unknown; age: M=20.9, SD=8.51) . The results indicated that the scale had a good property. It was suggested that J-BSS-I can contribute to further studies investigating body image. Directions for using J-BSS-I are also mentioned.View full abstractDownload PDF (2783K)
