여대생의 신체이미지, 의복관심도, 자기효능감에 대한 연구

초록

This study attempted to investigate body image, clothing interest and self-efficacy and examine how they are related to each other against college women. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against a total of 192 female students from two colleges in ‘J’ City. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, using SPSS/WIN 23.0, and the results found the followings: First, ‘body image’ was a mid-level with 2.85 points while ‘clothing interest’ was an upper-middle level with 3.06 points in clothing aesthetics, 2.88 points in clothing comfort, 3.28 points in clothing interest, 3.29 points in clothing management and 3.11 points in psychological dependence. In addition, ‘self-efficacy’ was an upper-middle level with 3.37 points. In terms of significant characteristics from the body image, the academic department and the body mass index (BMI) were found. In the clothing interest, ‘clothing aesthetics’ revealed a statistically significant difference in the academic department while ‘clothing comfort’ showed such significant difference in the number of friends and perceived health conditions. Furthermore, ‘clothing interest’ revealed a significant difference in the number of friends and perceived economic status while ‘clothing management’ showed such difference in the academic department and exercise frequency. In addition, ‘self-efficacy’ revealed such significant difference in the academic department, academic year, number of friends, health conditions and exercise frequency. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was observed between self-efficacy and the sub-factors of clothing interest (clothing aesthetics, clothing interest, clothing management, psychological dependence). It is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data in developing an intervention program designed to help college women improve self-efficacy.
