Abstract

Previous research has investigated the influence of explicit self-esteem and depression. These studies did not examine the implicit self-esteem and depression that exist in the internal unconscious of humans that are not influenced by prejudice and social desirability. This study identifies that fashion competency (FC) encourages the implicit self-esteem and relieves the implicit depression. Implicit self-esteem and depression were measured by Implicit Association Test (IAT) utilizing reaction; FC was surveyed based on questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed using factor analysis. FC was then composed of three factors of fashion involvement, fashion innovativeness and self-confidence in fashion coordination. The results of comparing the index values that indicate IA SE (implicit association self-esteem) and IA DE (implicit association depression) of each FC group indicated that a higher FC results in a higher IA SE and lower IA DE; therefore, individuals with a higher fashion competence have a higher implicit self-esteem and a sense of well-being. The findings support previous studies in that the FC tends to be positively related to quality of life in young people.
