This research focuses on the condition of the coveralls that automobile maintenance workers wear. The objective of this survey is to conduct a thorough analysis on the quality of the coveralls and put forth suggestions for improving their quality. The research data were collected through interviews and the results are as follows. The participants in this research engage in a variety of types of maintenance work including oil changes and overall system checks and they usually wear extra-large-sized coveralls. The coveralls are generally worn during the winter for warmth and the company handles all purchasing and maintenance of the work clothes. Participants mentioned that certain parts of the clothes where they bend and stretch are cumbersome and areas around the knees and arms become easily tainted. They have also reported that although the coveralls are necessary, they are for the most part dissatisfied when it comes to the materials, design, and color. The participants have suggested that new coveralls would help to increase their work efficiency. As a result, it is concluded that the coveralls require much more development to meet the workers’ needs and improvements need to be made on the functionality, aesthetics, and symbolic aspects of the design.

Sportswear transforms itself into a new fashion item to satisfy desires for beauty in addition to having functionality and movability for sports activities. Sportswear is not in fashion just temporarily but comes in various forms along with sociocultural phenomenon that put emphasis on well-being and leisure. This research aims to study the needs of the bikers who ride bicycles or cycles has become a popular outdoor activity, and give suggestions for high functional sports design that can satisfy the needs of the highly demanding taste of athletes. To understand the design development direction and design preference, practical consumer needs were derived through a survey analysis on bike wear purchasing satisfaction and actual wearing state by bike riders. For consumer needs analysis, focus group interview, in-depth interview and questionnaire method were used. Based on analysis of those researches, athleisure bike wears appropriate for urban sports activities were categorized into sports, life, fitness and leisure 4 styles for athleisure bike wear design development. It is believed that this study will contribute to in the category expansion of sports wear market and satisfy the consumer demands for functional and specialized casual bike wears as well as fashion factors optimized to life style of modern people.

This study analyzed the effects of consumers’sense of community regarding outdoor brands on behavioral commitment, purchasing satisfaction, and repurchasing intention and analyzed the effects of behavioral commitment and purchasing satisfaction on repurchasing intention. Additionally, this study analyzed the differences in sense of community, behavioral commitment, purchasing satisfaction, and repurchasing intention according to the types of outdoor consumers’consumption values. A survey was conducted from July 20th to 30th, 2015, and 527 responses were used for the analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, consumers’sense of community regarding outdoor brands was classified into mutual influences, sufficiency necessity, emotional connectedness, and sense of belonging. Second, outdoor consumers’sense of community had positive impacts on behavioral commitment, purchasing satisfaction and repurchasing intention. Third, outdoor consumers’behavioral commitment and purchasing satisfaction had positive impacts on repurchasing intention. Fourth, there were differences in the outdoor consumers’sense of community, behavioral commitment, purchasing satisfaction, and repurchasing intention according to the types of consumption values. Therefore, outdoor brands can strengthen the relationship with customers considering values and behavior, suggesting the need for a strategy that promotes consumers’sense of community with sustainable management activities that save the environment and local community.

The objectives of this study were to investigate whether heel height changes in the U.S. market occur in a cyclical pattern and heel heights show greater within-year variability over time. Heel height data from U.S. Vogue’s spring and fall editions were analyzed over the time period 1950~2014. A total of 1581 pieces of data were measured in millimeter units using Adobe Illustrator and standardized by dividing the height of the heel by the shoe length through the curved sole line. To analyze the cycle pattern of heel heights, the yearly averages were standardized by using three-year moving average technique to average out the irregular components of time series data and give a better indication of the long-term fluctuation of heel height. To identify the degree of within-year variability of heel height, the standard deviation of the average measurements for a year was calculated, and then decade averages were drawn from the yearly averaged standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was conducted to compare the within-year variability of data in heel height over the time period studied by decade. The results showed: First, there was a trend toward higher heels from the early 1950s to 2011. Second, four cyclical movements of heel height were observed from 1950 to 2007, and heel heights gradually decreased after 2008. Third, the within-year variability significantly increased over time, especially after the 1980s.

The purpose of this study was to find whether hemline cycles exist and whether hemlines show greater within-year variability over time. Utilizing US Vogue data from 1950 to 2013 on hemline length of women's daywear, total 2102 day-dresses or skirts on full fashion pictures were analyzed. The skirt length was divided by the total length of figure in the picture which was measured from shoulder to ankle. Aggregated yearly means smoothed by means of three-point moving averages were used to provide a better indication of the long-term direction of movement of the hemline. Within-year hemline variability was smoothed by the way of three-point moving average as well. The data showed five cycles on hemline change processes. The first cycle took 21 years from 1950 to 1971, which was the longest period and had the biggest hemline changes. The second cycle was the shortest from 1971 to 1977, in which hemline moved between below-knee length and midcalf. The hemline in the third cycle moved between midcalf and miniskirt. The third cycle took 16 years from 1977 to 1993. The forth was a short cycle from 1998 to 2001, and hemlines moved moderately between below-knee length and above-knee length. The fifth cycle has been on going since 2001, and the hemline has been getting longer after 2007. The within-year variability of hemlines was bigger in 1980s than previous years and was steadily increased.

목적 : 본 연구는 일상생활에서 범하기 쉬운 사소한 실수들의 빈도를 통해 인지적 손상정도를 평가하는 인지적 실패 질문지Cognitive Failure Questionnaire(CFQ)의 국내 적용을 위한 번역연구 및 번역된 설문지의 신뢰도를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 번역 과정은 총 5단계로 진행되었다. 첫 번째 과정에서 작업치료사 1명이 인지적 실패 질문지 25개 항목을 한국어로 번역하였고, 두 번째 과정으로 재활전문가 으로 구성된 번역 검증 위원회에서 한글번역의 적합성 검증을 실시하여 부적절한 항목을 수정하였다. 세 번째 과정은 9명의 인지기능 장애가 있는 환자들을 대상으로 설문항목에 대한 이해도를 10점 척도로 조사하였고, 이해도가 낮은 항목들은 다시 번역검증위원회를 통해 수정하였다. 수정된 질문지는 번역 전문가를 통해 역번역하였고, 마지막으로 영어를 모국어로 하는 외국인 2명이 원문과 역번역본의 문장구조 및 의미전달의 유사성을 검증하였다. 최종 번역된 질문지는 15명의 인지기능 장애가 있는 환자군에게 1-2주일 간격으로 실시하였고, 검사·재검사 신뢰도는 급간 내 상관계수로, 내적 일치도는 크롬바 알파(Cronbach α)로 분석하였다. 결과 : 한글 번역 적합성 검증 결과 총 11개 항목을 수정하였으며, 수정된 질문지에 대한 이해도 평가 결과 대부분 의 항목에서 높은 이해도를 보였다(평균 9.0-10.0). 또한 역번역 검증 과정을 통하여 총 3개 항목을 수정하였다. 최종 번역본에 대한 검사·재검사 신뢰도는 ICC .807, 내적 일치도는 Cronbach a= .878로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구는 체계적인 번역 과정을 통하여 국내 적용을 위한 설문내용의 적합성과 이해도를 높였다. 또한 신뢰도 검증을 통하여 추후 인지기능 장애가 있는 뇌손상 환자군에서 인지적 실패 질문지가 다양하게 사용될 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.
