Abstract

The shape of the male beard to be examined in this study was set as a mustache. This study used frequency analysis and cross-tab analysis to conduct T-test and one-way variance analysis using 300 final responses from the questionnaire that presented preference and non-preference reasons and demographic characteristics along with preference and non-preference options to measure the likability of whiskers. As a result of the study, there were differences in men's preference and non-preference for each beard formulation, and the level of difference was statistically significant between the male and female groups and the age group. In addition, it was found that each group category showed a difference in the reasons for judging likes/dislikes by beard form. There are differences in preference and non-preference according to men's beard formations, and it was confirmed that there are various differences according to perceptual characteristics in the main reasons for favorability and dislike, which are the basis for judgment. Through these results, academic and practical implications were presented in the field of beauty.

본 연구는 수염에 대한 호감도 측정을 위해 선호 및 비선호 선택지와 함께 호감/비호감 사유 판단 문항 및 인구통계학적 특성 문항을 제시한 설문지의 최종 응답 300부를 표본으로 하여 인구통계학적 특성을 알기 위하여 빈도분석을 하였고, 선호도의 차이를 분석하기 위하여 Cross-Tab(교차분석) 분석을 거쳐 T-test와 일원 분산분석을 하였다. 연구 결과, 남성의 수염 조형별 선호도 및 비 선호도에는 차이가 있었으며, 그 차이 수준은 남녀 집단 및 연령대 집단 간에 통계적 유의성을 보였다. 추가로, 각 집단 범주마다 수염 조형별 호감/비호감 판단 사유에서도 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 남성의 수염 조형에 따른 선호도와 비 선호도는 차이가 있으며, 그 판단 근거인 호감도와 비호감도의 주된 이유에서도 지각자 특성별로 다양한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 이용 및 미용 학문 연구에 시사점을 제시하였다.
