Abstract

여성의 생리주기가 행동성 체온조절에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고자, 본 연구에서는 6명의 건강한 여자대 학생을 대상으로 하여 22.5$^{\circ}C$와 55%RH의 환경에서 피험자 스스로가 의복을 선택하는 쾌적의복선택 실험과 피험자 스스로가 온도를 선택하는 쾌적 온도선택 실험을 각각 수행하였다. 평균피부온은 생리주기에 관계없이 쾌적온도선택 실험보다 쾌적의복선택 실험에서 높게 유지되었고, 생리주기에 따른 쾌적착의량과 쾌적온도의 차이는 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 6명의 피험자 중 4명의 피험자가 선택하여 착용한 착의량은 황체기보다 여포기에 더 많았고 (p<0.05), 5명의 피험자가 선택한 쾌적온도 역시 황체기보다 여포기에 평균 1.4$^{\circ}C$ 더 높은 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.01). 이러한 결과는, 피부의 온도를 조절함으로써 여포기보다 황체기에 심부체온을 높게 유지하기 위한 행동성 체온조절반응을 나타낸 것으로 보이나, 보다 명확한 결론을 내리기 위해서는 다양한 환경조건에서 다수의 피험자를 대상으로 하는 후속연구가 지속적으로 수행되어 야 할 것이다.
