This study first examines the effect of perceived body characteristics, satisfaction with body characteristics on perceived size related risk, and internet shopping clothing behaviors; in addition, it also examines the effect of the perceived size related risk on clothing behaviors. A questionnaire was conducted with responses from 219 female students, aged 19 to 25. Data was analyzed by frequency analysis, correlation analysis, ANOVA and Duncan test. The findings suggest that a consumer satisfied with body characteristics has active clothing behaviors to improve her appearance or body image. The effects of perceived body characteristics and satisfaction with body characteristics on perceived size related risk are also identified. The perceived size related risk increases when the size information of an internet shopping mall is insufficient compared to the situation when the consumer is not satisfied with her body characteristics. The meaningful differences of clothing behaviors according to extent of perceived size related risk are identified.

This study analyzed the relationships among actual body types, perceived body types, body-image discrepancy(difference between perceived and ideal body), and body satisfaction, and their effects on jacket fit satisfaction at 17 body parts of women in their 20s. To apprehend the actual body type of subjects, total 18 items were measured according to the anthropometric method of the 6th anthropometric survey project. The relationship between body-image discrepancy and body satisfaction was correlated in all body parts. Body-image discrepancy and body satisfaction were more affected by perceived body size than actual body size. The fit satisfaction level of the jacket was found to be lower as the discrepancy between the body type and the ideal body type was recognized. As the waist girth, hip girth, armscye girth, and upper arm girth were smaller, the height was taller, bust girth and breast size were larger, these body sizes were considered as closer to the ideal body shape and the jacket fit of the area was more satisfied. When the perceived body sizes and the actual body sizes were compared, the women in their 20s tended to perceive their waist, abdomen, and hip as larger, their shoulder length and front/back interscye as longer, their breast size as smaller, and their waist height as lower than the actual size.

This study examined the body characteristics, perceived body size and body-cathexis according to the stature of women aged 18 to 59. Special focus was on women of short stature; in addition, the study searched for the proper clothing fit and satisfaction level for short women. The 2010 SizeKorea data of 2,586 women aged 18 to 59 was analyzed statistically to find the distribution of stature according to 4 age groups along with the body characteristics and proportion of 3 stature groups in each age group. A questionnaire was conducted with responses from 412 women aged 18 to 59, and the perceived body size and satisfaction with body size of 3 stature groups were studied with 5 Likert scales. Although the stature of Korean women has increased, short stature women (those under 155cm) still represent a high percentage of individuals in Korea. Short women (small in height and length) had unique body characteristics in width, depth, and girth that were distinguished from the characteristics of medium or tall women. Especially, the lower body part of short women had distinct characteristics. Accordingly, it is undesirable to reflect the same ease or same body proportion in clothing construction for the 3 stature groups. Short women perceived their stature and length of upper or lower body as too short and the satisfaction with their body size was lower than medium or tall women. To upgrade the clothing fit and satisfaction of short women, it is necessary to reflect the unique body characteristics of short women in clothing design and construction.

This study compares the body sizes of Korean and Mongolian female college students, their perceptions about body size, and body satisfaction based on similar cultural backgrounds. The subjects consisted of 164 Korean students and 171 Mongolian students from March to April, 2008. The age range was 17 to 22 years. We directly measured the body sizes of subjects and examined by questionnaire the degree of body cathexis, perceived body size, and ideal body size. Both Korean and Mongolian college students have similar body measurements but Korean college students have smaller heads, broader and slopped shoulders, and thinner arms and legs. There were insignificant differences in perceived body size for both groups; in particular they perceived that their lower body is fat or thick. However, there were differences in body satisfaction. Both groups had the lowest satisfaction rate for their lower bodies; but in all items, Korean college students had a lower body satisfaction rate than Mongolian college students even though they have thinner arms and legs. Finally, the ideal body style for both groups was a skinny body type, but Korean students preferred a much thinner body type. The body satisfaction rate is greatly affected by the ideal body than the actual body.

The purpose of this study was to compare Korean and Japanese female college students' body sizes, their perceptions about body size, and body satisfaction based on similar cultural background. Subjects consisted of 185 Korean students and 91 Japanese students from October to December, 2000. The age range was 18 to 28 years. We measured body sizes of subjects directly and examined by questionnaire the degree of body cathexis, perceived body size, ideal body size. The results were as followed. 1) Korean women had slimmer silhouette with longer arm and longer leg than Japanese, while Japanese women had more voluminous silhouette with smaller waist circumstance and bigger hip circumstance than Korean. 2) There were not differences between perception about each body size of the Korean women and Japanese women, except arm length. Especially, two groups felt themselves as greater on thigh. 3) There were not differences between satisfaction about body of Korean women and Japanese women, except height. Generally, two groups had lower body satisfaction on each body area, especially on thigh, lower body part, abdomen, hip, and weight. 4) Perception of body size had higher correlation with body satisfaction than actual body size. Lower satisfaction was related to more negative perception of body size. 5) Regarding ideal body size, Korean women pursued bigger height, weight, waist, and hip than Japanese. However, Japanese women pursued bigger bust than Korean. This means that Japanese women pursued more voluminous body silhouette.

This study aimed to elucidate the information privacy attitudes and behaviors of users of size recommendation services based on body information. Focusing on the privacy calculus theory, the effects of information privacy concerns as well as perceived risk and benefit of information disclosure on information disclosure intention were analyzed. Consumers who used size recommendation services based on body information were surveyed from August 18 to 24, 2022. Analysis of the 251 responses collected revealed that information privacy concerns did not significantly affect information disclosure intention. Information privacy concerns had a positive effect on perceived privacy risk; however, perceived privacy risk had a negative effect on information disclosure intention, while perceived privacy benefit had a positive effect on information disclosure intention. Therefore, the privacy calculus theory confirms the existence of the privacy paradox, revealing perceived privacy benefit has a greater impact on information disclosure intention than perceived privacy risk.

의류상품의 전자상거래 시장이 확대됨에 따라 인터넷쇼핑에서 의류를 구매할 때 선택한 의류를 착용한 자신의 모습을 확인하는 도구로 가상피팅모델이 제공되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상피팅모델 구축 시 사용자의 주관적인 체형인식을 반영할 필요가 있는지 알아보기 위하여 여성의 신체 치수나 체형에 대한 인식이 어떻게 다른지 연구하였다. 의류학 전공 여자대학원 50명을 대상으로 실험한 본 연구의 결과는 인체부위에 대한 개인의 치수인식이 체형에 따라 다름을 보여준다. 연구자들은 인터넷 의류 쇼핑용 가상피팅모델을 구축하기 위해서는 사용자 신체치수뿐만 아니라 사용자가 인지하는 자신의 체형특성을 반영할 필요가 있다고 결론지었다 특히 배가 많이 나온 체형도 자신이 실제보다 배가 나오지 않은 체형으로 생각하는 경향이 있으므로 여성이용자에게 거부되지 않는 가상피팅모델을 구축하기 위해서는 지나치게 극단적인 체형의 가상피팅모델의 구축은 신중하게 고려해야함을 시사하였다.

본 연구는 여중생의 신체부위 크기인식이 실제 착의 의복형태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보기 위하여 신체크기 인식과 신체만족도, 희망 착의의복형태, 실제착의 의복형태를 고찰하였으며, 수척/비만정도에 의해 집단을 분류하여 집단간착의 의복형태의 차이도 고찰하였다. 조사 대상자는 광주 소재의 중학교에 재학 중인 여중학생 219 명이었으며 설문지를 이용하여 결과를 얻었다. 결과분석은 Window SPSS 10.0 패키지를 이용하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 여중생들은 상반신보다 아랫배돌출, 엉덩이, 다리굵기, 체중 등의 하반신을, 그리고 몸통보다는 사지부를 굵게 인식하였으며 굵게 인식하는 신체부위에 대해서 만족하지 못하였다. 2. 여중생들은 착의하기를 희망하는 의복형태를 실제로 착의하였다. 실제로 착용하거나 착용을 희망하는 상의의 의복형태는 피부가 직접적으로 노출되지 않으면서 밀착여부에 관계없는 형태였으며, 하의의 의복형태는 밀착되거나 피부가 노출되지 않는 여유가 많은 긴 슬랙스형태였다. 3. 여중생들은 신체크기를 인식하여 의복형태를 결정하는 정도가 낮았다. 그러나 여중생들은 신체부위의 피부노출이나 밀착에 의한 실루엣 노출이 큰 의복형태를 둘레와 너비를 굵거나 크게 인식할수록 착용하지 알았으며 길이를 길게 인식할 수록 더 착용하였다. 4. 비만집단에 속하는 여중생들은 피부가 직접 노출되거나 밀착되어 실루엣이 노출되는 상의와 하의를 수척집단보다 덜 착용하였다. 그러나 여중생들은 수척/비만 분류와 관계없이 피부와 실루엣을 은폐하는 의복형태는 모두 착용하였다. 그리고 여중생들은 목, 어깨부위를 노출하는 의복을 착용하는 경우 자신이 인지하는 체형보다 객관적인 실체체형을 고려하였으며 반면, 팔의 피부노출과 다리의 밀착에 의한 실루엣 노출은 실제체형보다 자신이 인지하는 체형을 고려하였다.

초등학교 4학년 아동 134명을 대상으로 신체상 및 신체상의 인지도와 만족도를 조사하고 식습관과 영양상태와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 희망하는 신체상에는 성별에 의한 차이가 존재하였는데 남학생에 비하여 여학생의 희망 신체상이 더 날씬한 모습이었으며, 정상체중의 남학생과 달리 과체중 및 비만 남학생, 정상체중 여학생, 과체중 및 비만 여학생은 자신의 현재 신체상에 비해 희망하는 신체상이 더 날씬한 모습인 것으로 나타났다. 정상체중군과 달리 과체중 및 비만군의 거의 대부분은 희망 신체상보다 자신의 신체상이 큰 신체상 불만족의 상태였다. 희망 신체상보다 자신의 신체상이 큰 신체상 불만족은 상대적으로 낮은 식습관 점수와 관련되어 있었는데 특히 규칙적인 식생활과 낮은 일일 식사 빈도 및 낮은 채소의 섭취 빈도와 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정상체중군에 비하여 많은 수의 과체중 및 비만군은 현재 자신의 신체크기를 실제 비만도보다 낮게 인지하는 신체상 과소평가의 상태였다. 신체상 과소평가군은 정확한 인지군에 비해 아침식사의 빈도와 식사시간의 규칙성이 낮았고 외식이나 배달음식의 이용 빈도가 높은 등 상대적으로 좋지 않은 식습관을 가지고 있었으며, 낮은 단백질 섭취 수준과 높은 지질 섭취 수준 및 낮은 식이섬유와 칼슘 섭취와 관련되어 있었다. 결론적으로 초등학교 4학년 아동에서 신체상은 성별과 비만도에 따른 차이가 있었으며 식습관 및 영양섭취와도 관련되어 있었다. 청소년기 이후의 바람직한 식생활과 비만의 예방 및 정신적, 육체적으로 건강한 삶을 위해서는 신체상이 형성되는 아동기에 자신의 신체에 대한 만족도를 높이고 신체상을 정확하게 인지하려는 시도가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
