Abstract

Middle and High school students are highly interested in appearance and clothing and they use it as a method of expressing their personality and freedom. We examined clothing attitudes and school uniform attitude of the students and analyzed relationship between them by the survey of 446 middle and high school students living in Seoul. First, High school students have more positive attitudes towards school uniform than middle school students have. High school students prefer school uniform and wear more frequently than middle school students do. Second, the group of economic efficiency and individuality have more positive attitudes and prefer the school uniform than group of practicality, fashion and conformity have. The group of fashion and economic efficiency show the preference of famous brand. Based on these results, we understand the attitudes of middle and high school student towards school uniform with reference to the clothing attitudes. Therefore, we need to accept demand of students in producing school uniform.
