Importance of appearance as a means of self-expression and communication is increasing in modern society even for men. And appearance has become an significant factor affecting men's quality of life. The main objectives of this study were to develop an instrument measuring appearance related quality of life(ARQoL), and examine the body factors influencing ARQoL. The ARQoL instrument was developed from in-depth interviews, focus group interviews, and literature review, and were revised through two pre-tests. The final questionnaire was administered through on-line survey with 440 men. Quota sampling was used based on age and body size. The results indicated that high ARQoL group showed significantly higher satisfaction on body factors including face, weight, shape, body proportion, hair, and overall impression than low ARQoL group. There was no significant difference in terms of satisfaction on height between two groups. Factor analysis showed that ARQoL consists of four factors - physical, economic, psychological and social factors. Overall impression was the most important body factor affecting all four factors of ARQoL and has very strong influence especially on economic ARQoL. BMI was also a significant factor affecting physical, economic and social ARQoL except psychological factor of ARQoL. Face had significant influence only on economic and psychological aspects of ARQoL.

고령화 시대로 진입한 한국사회에서 대중문화가 재현하는 노인의 모습과 그 속에 드러나는 젠더 차이는 노인에 대한 대중의 인식과 태도에 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 연예인 노인 출연자 중심의 리얼리티 쇼들을 대상으로, 젠더 측면에 주목해 노인 재현의 양상과 해독을 텍스트 분석과 수용자 분석을 통해 고찰했다. 분석 결과, 공통적으로 노인 재현은 소수 부정적인 기존 이미지와 대체로 긍정적인 이미지가 공존하고 있었다. 그러나 남성노인들은 '여행'을 젊음으로 보는데 비해 여성노인은 일상의 역할들로부터 '해방'으로 인식했으며, 남성은 '노인 됨'을 사회적 관계의 측면에서, 여성들은 가족관계와 외모의 퇴락 측면에서 파악하는 젠더 차이가 흥미롭게 발견되었다. 전체적으로, 남성노인은 가부장제적인 남성성을 전복하는 이미지 등 다양화된 재현이 이뤄진 반면, 여성노인은 전통적 여성상 및 외모 중심의 재현을 통해 여성에 대한 고정관념이 주로 재생산되고 있었다. 수용자 해독에서는 리얼리티 장르에 대한 관점의 차이와 젠더에 대한 기존 관념이 수용자의 해독에 영향을 미쳤으며, 수용자들에게 내면화된 가부장제적 남녀 차별적인 태도들이 작용하는 것이 발견되었다.

This study compares the expected values of appearance management for the suit buying behavior of men in two age groups: (20s-30s and 40s-50s) to investigate the effect of male consumers' expected values in regards to appearance management on the purchase behavior of men's suits between two generations. A survey was carried out with male consumers between the ages of 20 and 50; a total of 135 responses were analyzed by descriptive analysis, factor analysis, a reliability test, an independent samples t-test, MANOVA, ANOVA, and regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1) From a result of the factor analysis on male consumers' expected value of appearance management and the information sources and purchase evaluative criteria for buying men's suits, each of three variance assessments clearly showed factorial structures. 2) There were significant differences between those in their 20s-30s and those in their 40s-50s in terms of male consumers' expected values of appearance management, their information sources, and their purchase evaluative criteria when buying men's suits. 3) As a result of looking at the differences in the effects of expected values of appearance management on men's suit buying behavior according to age (generation), the younger generation in this study showed that men's suit purchasing tendency was affected by the managing appearance factor for internal reasons such as enjoyment and self-satisfaction. On the other hand, the assessment of the older generation revealed that appearance management for external reasons such as showing social power, good human relationships, and conformity influenced their suit purchase behaviors.

The subjects were 648 male adults aged from 20 to 59 and measuring instruments consisted of objectified body consciousness, appearance management behavior, and subjects' demographics attributions. The data were analyzed by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, factor analysis, cluster analysis, multiple response analysis, cross tabs analysis, ${\chi}^2$ test, and t-test. The results were as follows. First, 3 dimensions (body shame, body surveillance, and control belief) were emerged on objectified body consciousness, and subjects were divided into 2 groups (objectified group, and non-objectified group) by this variable. Second, male adults were deeply aware of the need of appearance management, and showed the high level of intention to perform appearance management behavior. Third, objectified group showed much more active appearance management behavior than non-objectified group. This results concluded that objectified body consciousness is a very useful variable to understand male adult' appearance management behavior.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of sex role identities on male consumers' appearance management behavior. Recently, heavy marketing efforts have been made by the cosmetics and apparel industries to cater to male consumers who seem to be increasingly interested in their appearances. This study intended to identify the relationship between male consumers' appearance management tendencies and their sex role identities and benefits sought in clothing. A survey data was collected from 321 men aged between 20 and 40 and was analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that not only the male consumers' perceived masculinity and femininity but also the discrepancies between their ideal and perceived masculinity/femininity were related to the benefit they sought in clothing. Also, individuals who identify themselves as masculine (rather than feminine) were more likely to be engaged in appearance management practices. However, a greater portion of their appearance management behavior was explainable by their pursuit of fashionability, conformity, and individuality in clothing. This seems to indicate these male consumers consider appearance management primarily as a fashion trend.

이 논문은 온라인 교육 콘텐츠에 나타난 젠더의 문화적 악순환 양상을 살펴보기 위하여 아동 전문 웹툰 플랫폼, 아이나무툰(EBS툰)의 인기 웹툰 상위 5위 작품에 재현된 젠더 양상을 검토하였다. 아동의 성별을 구분하는 외모 재현 양상, 성별에 따른 인물의 욕망과 문제 상황에서의 심리, 작품에서 수행하는 기능 등을 여성주의 시각에서 비판적으로 분석하였다. 여성과 남성의 외모 특질은 젠더 고정 관념을 답습하는 경우가 많았다. 대부분 여성은 긴 머리, 남성은 짧은 머리였으며 원피스를 입은 여성이 많았다. 그러나 심리적, 기능적 특질은 젠더의 상투성을 깬 측면이 있었다. 주인공의 성별 비중이 비슷하고, 양성 모두 해결사나 구원자로 기능하며 용감하고 지혜롭게 문제 상황을 극복해 나갔다. 그런데 주인공의 젠더 재현에서 젠더 고정 관념이 약하게 나타난 작품일수록 순위가 높았다. 이러한 사실은 아동 감상자들의 비판적 수용과 선택이 젠더의 문화적 악순환을 끊어내는 데 기여할 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 상상 접촉이 외모가 매력적이지 않은 이성에 대한 호감 및 매력 지각에 긍정적인 효과를 갖는지 확인하고, 그 효과가 지각자 자신의 신체적 매력 혹은 외모중시 성향에 의해 조절되는지 살펴보았다. 현재 연인 관계에 있지 않은 남성 대학생들이 실험에 참여하였고, 자신의 신체적 매력 수준과 외모중시 성향을 묻는 문항에 답하였다. 상상 접촉 조건의 참여자들은 외모가 뛰어나지 않은 초면의 이성과 직접 대화하는 장면을 상상하였고, 통제 조건의 참여자들은 대화와 관련된 맥락이 배제된 채로 외모가 뛰어나지 않은 이성에 대해 상상하였다. 이후 모든 참여자들은 신체적 매력이 다소 낮은 여성의 사진을 접한 뒤, 3개의 종속변인 문항들(호감 지각, 매력 지각, 데이트를 신청할 의향)에 답하였다. 연구 결과, 상상 접촉을 했던 참여자들은 통제 집단의 참여자들에 비해 여성에 대해 더 높은 호감을 보였고 매력 정도도 더 높게 평가하였는데, 이는 상상 접촉이 이성 관계에서 긍정적 효과가 있음을 가리킨다. 이러한 상상 접촉의 효과는 참여자들의 신체적 매력의 정도에 의해 조절되지 않았지만, 외모를 얼마나 중시하는지에 의해서는 조절되었다. 구체적으로 상상 접촉의 효과는 비교적 외모를 중시하지 않는 사람들에게서는 나타난 반면 외모를 중시하는 사람들에게서는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 상상 접촉 이론의 적용 범위를 이성 관계의 맥락으로 확장시켰다는 점, 그리고 기존 상상 접촉 연구들에서 다루어지지 않았던 개인차 변인을 고려하였다는 점에서 그 의의를 갖는다.
