This research used an experimental design in an effort to assess the influence of brand gender and salespeople on the attitudes toward brands according to the males' gender identity traits. The study used a three-way split-plot experimental design, and data were analyzed by t-tests, and ANOVA. The subject of this research was men in their 20s and 30s, and a total of 178 people were selected through convenience- sampling. The findings are as follows: first, masculine male consumers preferred masculinity fashion brands; however, androgynous consumers preferred brands that reflect androgyny. Second, there were no differences in brand attitude according to the gender of the salesperson for the masculinity group, but the androgynous group estimated the brands as better when the salesperson was female. Third, there were no differences in the brand attitudes among consumers according to gender of the salesperson for the Galaxy; however, for Solid Homme, brand preference was stronger when the salesperson was a woman. Fourth, the influence of brand gender and salesperson gender on brand attitudes differed according to the gender of the consumer. Therefore, apparel companies must clearly understand the characteristics of consumer gender identity and execute proper marketing strategies in order to induce stronger positive attitudes toward their brands. Moreover, apparel companies should perceive that brand gender and the gender of the salesperson can consequently encourage brand preferences.

십대를 탈정치화된 문화소비자로 우려하거나 의식화된 정치 행위자로 찬미하는 기존의 거친 이분법에 문제제기하며, 이 연구는 십대 소녀.소년들의 정치 참여의 문화적 의미를 2008년 촛불광장을 중심으로 탐구한다. 말걸기와 듣기를 통한 성찰적 방법론으로서 심층인터뷰를 실시하여, 십대가 일상적으로 겪은 고통과 불안의 감정이 자아의 윤리로 성장하는 과정, 개인적인 가치와 신념이 또래집단 내에서 소통적 관계로 확장되고 집합화되는 방식, 그리고 세대/젠더적 감수성이 운동 세력 내부에서 차이들의 정치로 다층화되고 활성화되는 역동을 읽어내었다. 주변화된 타자로서 십대가 윤리적.소통적.정치적 주체로 ‘되어가는’ 과정으로 촛불운동을 이해함으로써, 촛불광장을 단지 일시적인 이벤트로 단편화하는 대신, 새로운 정치세대의 성장이라는 역사적 과정으로 맥락화할 것을 제안한다.
