Abstract

This study determines the differences between Korean female university students and their Chinese counterparts residing in Korea by evaluating the subjective sensation and tactile preference in fabrics for casual shirts. Seven types of white causal shirt fabrics were selected as specimens from those available in spring and autumn shirt collection. The fabrics were made from various fibers (cotton 100%, polyester 100%, flax 100%, polyester 80%/cotton 20%, polyester 65%/cotton 35%, polyester 50%/cotton 45%/spandex 5%, and polyester 50%/modal 50%). Forty Korean and Chinese female university students subjectively assessed the subjective sensation of fabrics used for casual shirts. Participants were asked to observe the seven types of fabrics and complete the questionnaire. The subjective sensation to be assessed for white casual shirt fabrics was classified into the following four factors: smoothness, lightness, softness, and stretchiness. Subjective sensation factors showed partially significant differences by nationality. Korean female students evaluated cotton fabric as being light, whereas their Chinese counterparts evaluated the polyester/cotton/spandex blended fabric as light. Korean female students evaluated polyester/modal blended fabric as being stretchable. The tactile preference for fiber composition of the fabrics showed partially significant differences by nationality. Korean female students preferred cotton 80%/polyester 20% blended fabric, polyester 50%/cotton 45%/spandex 5% blended fabric, and flax 100% fabric. The subjective sensation of the fabrics had different effects on preferences by nationality. Smoothness and softness had positive effects on preferences for the fabrics of Korean students. However, smoothness, softness, and stretchiness had positive effects on the preferences of Chinese students. The subjective sensation and tactile preference for casual shirt fabrics showed a difference between Korean female students and their Chinese counterparts. Therefore, when planning casual shirt fabrics for female university students, it is necessary to reflect on these differences in subjective sensation and tactile preference.

본 연구는 한국의 대학에 재학하고 있는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생을 대상으로 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적인 감각과 선호도의 차이를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 춘추용 캐주얼 셔츠의 소재로 시판되는 소재 중에서 섬유조성이 상이한 7가지 종류의 흰색 셔츠 직물을 선정하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재에 대한 주관적 감각 및 촉감 선호도의 평가자는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생으로 40명이었다. 참가자들은 7종 소재를 관찰하고 나서 주관적인 감각과 촉감 선호도에 대한 평가를 설문지를 사용하여 작성하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적 감각을 요인분석한 결과, 평활감, 경량감, 유연감, 신축감의 4개 요인으로 분류되었다. 주관적 감각 요인은 소재의 섬유조성별 국적에 따라 부분적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 한국인 여대생은 중국인 여대생 보다 면 100% 소재를 더 가볍다고 평가하였고, 폴리에스터 50%/모달 50% 소재와 P100 소재를 더 신축성이 있다고 평가하였으나, 중국인 여대생은 폴리에스터 50%/면 45%/스판덱스 5% 소재를 더 가볍다고 평가하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 섬유조성별 촉감 선호도는 국적에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 한국인 여대생은 중국인 여대생에 비해 면 80%/폴리에스터 20% 소재, 폴리에스터 50%/면 45%/스판덱스 5% 소재, 아마 100% 소재를 더 선호하였다. 한편, 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적 감각 요인이 촉감 선호도에 미치는 영향은 국적에 따른 차이를 보였다. 한국 여대생의 경우, 평활감과 유연감이 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 촉감 선호도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 반면, 중국인 여대생은 평활감, 유연감, 신축감이 촉감 선호도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이처럼 캐주얼 셔츠 소재에 대한 주관적 감각 및 촉감 선호도는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생간의 차이를 보였다. 따라서 여대생을 대상으로 캐주얼 셔츠 소재 기획시 이러한 감성의 차이를 반영하는 것이 필요하다.
