Data were obtained in a previous study from a convenience sample consisting of 271 South Korean women residing in four cUies: Seoul, Pusan, Kwangju, and Taejeon. The questionnaUe used in the prior study included five scales: Fashion Opinion Leadership, Life Style Characteristics, Fiber Preferences, Store Selection Attributes, and Clothing Purchase Influences.

Statistical procedures employed to analyze data were cluster analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, oneway analysis of variance, two-way analysis of variance, and chi-square test of independence.Item An assessment of fashion awareness of women based on selected demographic factors(Texas Tech University, 1980-05) Huffman, Karen EliseNot availableItem An experimental program in personal improvement for low income Latin-American women(Texas Tech University, 1965-08) Hawk, Barbara LynnNot availableItem An investigation of the acceptance of some currently advocated clothing construction techniques(Texas Tech University, 1954-08) Curry, Alberta MortonNot availableItem Business jacket design: preferences of working women(Texas Tech University, 1999-12) Yoo, SeulheeConsumer evaluation of apparel is believed to be affected by three factors: the aesthetic quality of apparel, personal characteristics of the viewer, and the environment. The majority of empirical studies document design factors influencing the aesthetic quality of apparel. A limited number of investigations have focused on individual characteristics of the viewer. Since individual subjectivity may influence the aesthetic evaluation process, this research investigated consumer characteristics in relation to aesthetic preference of apparel, the business jacket in particular. A national cross-section of 1,500 working women was drawn for the study through a random sampling technique by National Demographics & Lifestyles. Nine hypotheses were formulated to address the relationships between consumer design preference and: (a) design attributes, (b) personal characteristics, (c) psycho-social identity, (d) job-specific-situational characteristics, and (e) physical characteristics. The research instrument consisted of two parts: visual stimuli and a self-administered questionnaire. Visual stimuli were 18 black-and-white computer-generated drawings of business jackets developed to measure design preference. The questionnaire assessed design attributes and preferences utilizing Likert-type scales adapted from previous investigations. Questions were developed to determine physical characteristics, demographics, and consumer characteristics. Dillman's mail survey technique was utilized for collection of the research data. The final data base was comprised of 265 female respondents who wore business jackets to work at least once a week.Item Clothing and grooming as related to personality adjustment in a group of college freshman girls(Texas Tech University, 1963-05) Dorsey, Johnny LaRueNot availableItem Clothing care: time management and energy consumption of selected U.S. families(Texas Tech University, 1984-12) Johnson, Kathryn JeanThe purpose of the study was to assess the relationship of numerous demographic and external variables to time and energy consumption during clothing care.

The study included a secondary problem investigating the policies of used-clothing stores and the shopping patterns of used-clothing-store patrons. The General Clothing Interests Questionnaire was distributed to 110 used-clothing-store patrons and 110 retail clothing- store patrons. It consisted of 32 attitude statements which represented eight specific clothing interest scales. One hundred twenty-one returned questionnaires were statistically analyzed by t-test and analysis of variance tests. The hvpotheses were accepted or rejected at the .05 probability level. The study determined that, in general, clothing interests of women are similar regardless of type of store patronized, age, level of education, employment status, marital status, and level of income. Differences, however, were recognized in regard to various specific clothing interest scales. A Survey of Used-Clothing-Store Managers, consisting of 17 questions, was distributed to 4 9 managers in the West Texas area. Frequency distributions and percentages were calculated for the 25 responses obtained. It was found the number of used-clothing stores have increased in the past five years. Policies of the used-clothing store were found to vary with (1) how the merchandise is obtained and (2) where the store profits go. A majority of used-clothing store managers reported similar shopping patterns of their patrons.Item Clothing practices and their analysis for families of students enrolled in Monterey High School(Texas Tech University, 1967-08) Castleberry, Margaret Jean SmithNot availableItem Clothing practices of junior college women in West Texas: with a comparison between home economics majors and majors in other fields(Texas Tech University, 1967-06) Harkins, Helen LouiseNot availableItem Color acceptance and preference in apparel fabrics related to age, sex, and socioeconomic status.(Texas Tech University, 1975-12) Loper, Nel NashNot available
