This study explored the elements, types, and determining factors of successful aging for the Korean elderly. In order to examine the expectations of the Korean elderly, a sample of 377 elderly aged 65 and over living in Seoul and Kyunggi areas was selected and interviewed. The elements of successful aging that the Korean elderly pointed out in the interviews were: 'peaceful and comfortable life', 'self-maintenance,' 'secure social support,' and 'ostentation.' The expected elements of successful aging were further classified into three types of successful aging: 'idealized expectation.' 'self-centered expectation,' 'balanced self-other expectation.' The elderly groups sorted by the types exhibited significant differences in terms of demographic characteristics, self-evaluated economic status, and self-evaluated health status. The variables that affected the expectations were age, level of education, marital status, gender, and self-evaluated health condition. However, further analysis revealed that the factors that affected the expectation for successful aging were different for male and female elderly. The results suggest that the successful aging of Korean elderly should be understood in the context of Korean society and culture. The results could be used to better understand varied and unique life of Korean elderly, as well as in establishing a basis of intervention that meets the specific demands of the Korean elderly.

The purpose of this study was to suggest multiple directions of fashion design by producing differentiated athleisure fashion designs with functional materials based on existing sportswear. A design utilizing handcraft skill was developed by applying the design characteristics of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's paintings. With respect to the study methods, the background of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's paintings were analyzed and their historical background was investigated by employing previous studies and literature review. The design characteristics were classified by issue and time-period. The results are as follows; First, the feasibility of creative artwork expression was found by pursuing collaboration with artwork and fashion by applying the motives of the fashion with the characteristics by the times, lines, forms, colors, and overlapping in Moholy-Nagy's paintings. Second, athleisure fashion, which can mix-match with casual wear, was found to enhance not only creativity but also add value by applying design, which added multiple handcraft elements, as well as characteristics of functionality, aesthetics, practicality, appealability, ostentation, activity, and dynamism.

Each stylistic period through history has its own unique look. The characteristic look of each period is completed and visualized with its prevailing ideologies, aesthetic consciousness and morality by means of 'form'. A period expresses its characteristics in accordance with form according to the widespread preferences of the time. Among the various cultural factors that form the look of the time, those that the period holds as ideal aesthetic values create the concept of 'ideal beauty' for that period. This study begins by establishing the conceptual definition of 'ideal beauty' and develops the premise that dress reflected ideal beauty. To attain the goal of the study, the selected objects are dresses represented in paintings, the actual garments from the Renaissance to Baroque periods and written references about art, art history, and history of costume. The results, based upon a theoretical study of the zeitgeist and aesthetic values of the 16th and 17th centuries, are as follows: first, ideal beauty influences the substance and form that constitute dress style. It is a byproduct of the spirit of time, the zeitgeist. The concept of ideal beauty is born within the lifestyle pursued by the ruling class and focuses on the body as an epitome of beauty, moral values, custom, lifestyle and taste as it becomes visualized via form. Second, the aspect of dress representing the ideal beauty of particular time varied according to the times. In both periods, power and dignity were used to achieve the ideal aesthetic values. In the Renaissance, power was expressed by the horizontal extension of dress (i.e. wide farthingales and sleeves) and in the Baroque period, by vertical extension (i.e. long and tall wigs, fontanges and trains). It can be said that fashion in both periods achieved an ideal, such as power and dignity, via the same means, by extending dress sizes, but the ways in which those ideals were portrayed in each period's dress yielded very contrary styles. It is understood through this study that ideal beauty influenced the dress style of the Renaissance and Baroque periods and played a decisive role in determining its forms and symbolic meanings.

소비자들이 왜 위조품을 시용할까? 하는 의문에서 출발하였다. 사전조사를 통해 위조품 사용동기, 사용혜택 및 사용손실 척도를 제작한 후, 이러한 위조품사용 동기요인과 위조품사용 혜택요인 및 위조품사용 손실요인 각각에 대해 한중소비자간에 인식의 차이가 있는가를 확인하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 위조품 사용동기요인은 과시성, 경제성, 만족감, 실용성의 4가지로 나타났으며, 한중소비자의 인식차이를 알아본 결과 과시성, 경제성과 만족감 요인에서는 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 위조품 사용 혜택요인은 개인적 혜택과 경제적 혜택의 2가지로 나타났다. 2가지 혜택요인 모두에서 한중소비자간 유의미한 인식차이가 나타났으며, 한국소비자가 중국소비자에 비해 높은 긍정응답을 나타내 보였다. 셋째, 위조품사용 손실동기요인은 개인적손실, 품질손실, 물질적손실 및 사회적손실의 4가지 요인으로 나타났다. 개인적손실과 품질손실 및 물질적손실요인에 대해 한중소비자간 유의미한 인식차이가 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 한국소비자의 위조품사용행동에 대한 심층적 이해를 통해, 향후 위조품 사용을 줄이는 공공 캠페인에 활용할 수 있는 자료를 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다.

This study investigated 1) the effects of mountain climbing motivation on the desired mountain climbing wear benefits, and 2) the desired effects of mountain climbing wear benefits on clothing usage behavior. Data were collected via a questionnaire administered to 498 consumers who make at least one mountain climbing wear purchase for personal use. All items were evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale, and SPSS 20.0 and Amos 7.0 were used for data analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis for the research variables were performed and three factors of mountain climbing motivation (social interaction, health improvement, and mental rejuvenation), four factors of mountain climbing wear benefits sought (ostentation, ideal healthy figure, conformity, and functions), and two factors regarding clothing usage behavior (sportswear usage and daily wear usage) were identified. The results from the model test were as follows: 1) Mountain climbing motivation was found to vary depending on the mountain climbing wear benefits sought. Social interaction had a positive effect on all 4 factors of mountain climbing wear benefits sought. Health improvement was the only motivating factor for consumers who sought the benefit of functions; however, the functions benefit was not found to be a consideration for consumers who climbed for mental rejuvenation. 2) Mountain climbing wear usage was affected by mountain climbing wear benefits sought. The benefits for conformity and functions had a positive effect on sportswear usage and daily wear usage; however, the ideal healthy figure only affected daily wear usage. The twofold usage of mountain climbing wear reflects a cultural trend toward the usage of mountain climbing wear as daily wear; however, consumers show this twofold usage to conform successfully to mainstream society and not to pursue the ideal healthy figure.
