외모도 능력의 일부라는 사회적 인식이 자리 잡게 되어 사회적 이미지를 유지해 가는 수단이 되어감에 따라 대부분의 사람들은 자기의 외모에 관심을 가지게 된다. 이에 여성들의 신체이미지와 자아이미지에 따른 화장태도를 알아보고자 대구광역시와 광주광역시에 거주하는 30세 이상 50세 미만 여성 218명을 대상으로 2012년 4월 10일 부터 5월 30일까지 2개월간 조사하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 체중관심도와 자아이미지에 따른 화장태도의 차이를 알아본 결과 체중관심도의 경우 세련된 이미지와 순수한 이미지에 따라 화장태도에 차이를 보이지 않았지만 활동 이미지에서는 체중관심도에 따라 화장태도의 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 외모관심도와 자아이미지에 따른 화장태도의 차이를 알아본 결과 외모관심도가 높을수록, 세련된 이미지가 높은 집단, 순수한 이미지가 높은 집단, 활동이미지가 높은 집단이 화장태도에 더 적극적이었다. 즉, 외모관심도가 높을수록 그리고 자아이미지가 높을수록 화장태도에 대해 긍정적임을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 신체매력도와 자아이미지에 따른 화장태도의 차이를 검증한 결과 신체매력도가 높을수록, 세련된 이미지가 높은 집단이, 활동 이미지가 높은 집단이 낮은 집단보다 화장태도가 긍정적이었다.
