Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences between the level of satisfaction and concern regarding appearance according to gender, the importance of appearance in job interviews, and the influence appearance has on job-seeking stress and anxiety under the ever-increasing pressure on students to secure employment so that appropriate psychological interventions can be provided to undergraduates. Methods: The survey was conducted on 170 third and fourth year undergraduates in Gyeonggi province from August 31st to September 6th, 2012 to figure out the correlations and differences in variables of appearance satisfaction and concern, and the importance of appearance in job interviews and job-seeking stress and anxiety according to the differences in gender. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, two-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: 1. There was difference between the genders for appearance satisfaction and concern. The level of satisfaction was higher in male students while concerns regarding appearance were higher in female students. There was no gender difference regarding the importance of appearance in job interviews, job-seeking stress, and job-seeking anxiety. 2. For the concerns in appearance, there was a significant difference between the genders in appearance management, and gender and the importance of appearance in job interviews showed significant interactive effects. Stress and anxiety from job-seeking did not show significant differences between the genders, but there were common significant interactive effects between gender and grades, gender and employment, and gender and the importance of appearance in job interviews. 3. Both male and female students showed higher job-seeking stress as their job-seeking anxiety was higher. Job-seeking anxiety was higher in male students who had higher concern in appearance, and in female students who placed more emphasis on the importance of appearance in job interviews. Conclusion: As female students perceived appearance in job interviews as important more than male students, their job-seeking anxiety was higher, while male students who showed higher concern in appearance also showed higher level of anxiety in job-seeking. As job-seeking anxiety was higher, job-seeking stress was also higher according to the entire participants, based on this result, methods to decrease job-seeking anxiety should be suggested.

질적인 삶을 추구하는 노년 여성이 증가하고, 아름답게 가꾸고 싶어하는 미적 욕구가 커짐에 따라 화장품 산업의 급성장이 예견되고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 연구는 노년 여성들의 웰빙 성향과 외모관심도에 대하여 알아보고, 이들 변인이 화장품 구매의도와 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 서울 경기도에 거주하는 만 55세 이상의 여성 209명을 대상으로 설문분석을 실시하였고, SPSS를 이용하여 빈도분석, 요인분석, 신뢰도분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 노년 여성의 웰빙 성향은 친환경요인, 생활만족요인, 신체건강요인으로 나뉘어졌고, 외모관심도는 외모중시요인, 외모관리요인, 피부관리요인으로 구분되었다 이들 요인 중 웰빙 성향의 신체건강요인과 외모관심도의 외모중시요인이 노년 여성의 화장품 구매의도에 영향을 미치고, 화장품 구매 의도는 브랜드 충성도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이, 노년 여성들이 신체건강 및 외모를 중시할수록 화장품 구매의도 및 브랜드 충성도가 높아졌으므로, 이들의 웰빙 성향과 외모관심도는 브랜드 충성도를 유발하는 요인이라 할 수 있다.
