이 연구의 목적은 사회.문화적 관점에서 한.미 여성의 이상적인 미, 바디이미지, 그리고 외모행동을 비교조사 하는데 있다. Open-Ended Questions에 의한 연구 결과, 이상적인 미로 미국여성이 \"키크고 마른 신체 매력성\"을 추구한 반면, 한국여성은 \"내적인 미\"와 \"서구적인 신체 매력성\"을 추구하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상적인 미를 추구하기 위해 미국여성은 주로 신체의 하체부분, 한국여성은 얼굴부분을 많이 가꾸고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 외모행동으로는 한국여성은 화장이나 피부관리 등에, 미국여성은 excercise나 다이어트 등을 많이 하고 있었다. 사회.문화적 이상적인 미에 비교해 볼 때 두 집단 모두 자신의 외모에 대해 만족하지 못하는 편으로 나타났다. 또한 두 나라 집단의 여성들은 각 나라마다 사회.문화적 이상적인 미가 각각 존재해야 함에도 불구하고 현재에는 이상적 미의 기준이 문화에 관계없이 동일한 편이라고 응답을 하였다. 본 연구에서는 사회.문화적 집단주의와 개인주의 개념을 토대로 이러한 연구결과들이 논의되어 진다.주의 개념을 토대로 이러한 연구결과들이 논의되어 진다.

In AI chatbot service via a messenger, a profile image of the chatbot is the first thing that users see to communicate with the chatbot. This profile image not only manages an impression about the profile owner in SNS on followers, but also makes an important impression about chatbot services on users. Thus motivated, this study investigates proper profile images tailored for the types of chatbot services and users. Specifically, I reviewed the preferred images and expressions of chatbots for each purpose of chatbot service. Then, in a case study, I collected and analyzed the representative chatbot profile images for the purpose of fun and counseling. The profile images are categorized as robot, human, animal, and abstract images. Based on these categories, I surveyed the preferred profile image of the chatbot service in either the text type or image type alternatives. For the purpose of fun, in the text version, I found that both men and women preferred a human image to others. However, in the image version, men preferred woman and robot images while women preferred cute animation character and robot images. For counseling services, both men and women preferred woman and animal images most, which is similar to the results of the text version of questionnaires as well. While both genders consistently preferred real photo images, women tend to like abstract images more than men do. I expect that the results of this study would be useful to develop the proper profile images of AI chatbot for each service purpose.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate what baseline characteristic is most related with body image satisfaction and identify which items are the lowest score on body image and their related behaviors in female emergency medical technicians(EMTs). Female EMTs(n=96) working in the G provence completed a battery of questionnaires. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that body image satisfaction was significantly associated with physical activity(p=.007, 95%CI: 2.937~19.180) in female EMTs. Subjects were most satisfied with their sex(male or female)(M=3.34, SD=0.72) and they were most dissatisfied with sleep(M=2.61, SD=0.85). The skin protective behavior showed significant difference according to skin concerns(p<.05).

지금까지 향의 이미지에 따른 감성 평가에 관한 연구, 특히 성별에 따른 차이에 관한 연구는 거의 없었다. 본 연구는 향의 이미지에 따른 성별 감성 차이를 분석하기 위하여 네 가지 향 (Jasmin abs, Rose oil bulgalian, Lavender oil france, Lemon oil misitano)을 제시하고 그에 따른 주관적 평가를 분석하였다. 후각 실험 및 주관적 평가는 20-26세의 남자10명, 여자10명으로 구성된 피험자를 대상으로 이루어졌고, 주관적 평가는 향의 세부적인 이미지를 나타내는 후각 감성 형용사를 이용하여, 양극의 7점 척도 25문항, 단극의 5점 척도 40문항, 그리고 각 향의 전반적인 선호도를 묻는 양극의 7점 척도 2문항으로 구성하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 남성과 여성 모두 Lemon향을 가장 쾌한 감성의 향으로, Rose향을 가장 자극적인 향으로 생각하는 것과 같은 심리척도의 보편적인 정서인 쾌/불쾌, 자극/진정의 감성에 있어서 성별에 따른 차이를 별로 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 여성에 비해 남성이 Rose향을 정열적이고 화려한 향으로 느낀다거나, Jasmin 향에 대하여 남성은 여성적인 향으로 생각하는 반면, 여성은 Jasmin 향을 남성적인 향으로 평가하는 등 각 향에 대한 세부적인 이미지에는 여성과 남성이 뚜렷한 차이를 보이고 있었다.

A new technique for revealing the research fronts of a interdisciplinary discipline has been developed. Citation image makers profiling (CIMP) determines the relationships between research papers with the title words of the citing documents. We adapted this new technique to analyze the research fronts and hot topics in women's studies of Korea. By Korean Citation Index (KCI) data in 2015, we selected 148 papers cited more than 9 times as the core documents of women's studies. Analysis of intellectual structure using citation image makers profiling was performed with the 148 core documents and those citing papers. Document co-citation analysis was hindered by citation data sparsity, while CIMP method successfully revealed the structure of research fronts of Korean women's studies including 2 divisions and 6 subdivisions. The CIMP method suggested in this study has good potential to discover the characteristics of research fronts of interdisciplinary research domains.

This study aims to explore the strategies and effects of SNS images used by four popular male beauty influencers to gain identification with their female fans. The research selected four male beauty influencers, namely Li Jiaqi, Jeffree Star, James Charles, and Bretman Rock, with a high number of subscribers on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok as of July 21, 2023. By observing the content they posted on SNS, the study analyzed the types, characteristics, and relevance of male beauty influencer images with their female fans using Lacan's gaze theory. Additionally, concepts related to gaze, such as the mirror stage, the screen, and objet petit a, were supplemented to conduct an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of male beauty influencer images and the motivations of female viewers. The study results suggest that male beauty influencers can maintain an intimate relationship, referred to as 'girl-friendship,' with their female fans through the identification formed by the homogeneity within the feminized mirror images. Furthermore, male beauty influencers can transform female viewers from being seen as objects to seeing them as subjects by presenting images that embrace diversity in gender identity, challenging the traditional notions of societal gender norms. Therefore, the images of male beauty influencers not only challenge gender stereotypes but also cater to the demands for independence and equality of modern young women, promote understanding of feminine gaze, and explore the potential for democratization and inclusivity on social media platforms from a new perspective.

여성에 대한 긍정적인 연구와 이해가 있어왔지만 여전히 우리나라에서는 남아선호 대한 인식이 뿌리깊게 남아있는 것이 사실이다. 각종 대중매체를 통해 다루어지는 부정적인 여성의 이미지에서 벗어나 사회 각 분야에서 노력하고 있는 여성에 대한 긍정적인 메시지가 많이 다루어지길 기대한다.

최근 각 이동통신사에서 자체적인 통합 UI를 개발하여 각 단말기 제조사의 UI 통합을 시도하고 있다. 이 UI 통합의 시도는 기업의 입장에서는 기업 정체성을 높이고 타 통신사와의 차별을 갖게 할 수 있고 사용자 입장에서는 현재 사용중인 단말기를 다른 단말기 제조사 제품으로 교체할 때 서로 다른 메뉴 구성이나 버튼 방식으로 인해 겪게 되는 불편을 해소해 주는 역할을 한다. 그러나 UI를 일괄적으로 통일한다는 것은 한편으로 개인과 집단의 감성이 무시되고 특정 타겟 단말기의 특성을 잘 표현하지 못하는 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 여성들이 선호하는 메뉴 아이콘을 조사 분석함으로써, 여성 타겟으로 출시되는 단말기 아이콘이 일관된 UI가 아닌 여성이 선호하는 감성 아이콘이 될 수 있도록 메타포를 제안하는 데에 있다. 이를 위해 서울에 사는 18~35세 여성 40명을 대상으로 이동통신사 (S 사) 표준 UI 아이콘과 제조사별 아이콘 샘플을 추출하여 여성이 선호하는 휴대폰 단말기 아이콘을 선정하고 그 아이콘에 대하여 이미지 형용사 언어를 밝혀내도록 하였다. 이렇게 조사된 여성들이 선호하는 아이콘 및 이미지 형용사는 향후 여성 타겟 단말기 개발의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among women's leisure dance participation, physical image and self-esteem. The subjects in this study were 300 female adults who were selected by cluster sampling from the population that consisted of women who were in their 20s to 50s. In the population, some women got leisure dance at fitness clubs, sport lovers' clubs and dance academies in Seoul and Gyeoggn Province as of 2009, and the others didn't. As for the reliability of the questionnaires used in the study, the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the questionnaires was above .70. The major statistical methods utilized in this study were Frequencies, reliability factor analysis, analysis covariate, regression analysis and path analysis. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the women who got leisuer dance evaluated their own physical image and self-esteem more favorably than the others who didn't. Second, the length of participation affected the body shape, satisfaction level and flexibility, and the intensity of participation impacted on the body shape and muscular power. Third, the length of participation had an impact on self-esteem, and the frequency of participation exerted a negative influence on that. Fourth, the degree of participation had a causal impact on physical image and self-esteem. In other words, the degree of getting leisure dance affected self-esteem in a firsthand manner and exerted a secondhand influence on that through physical image as well. The findings of the study suggested that physical image was one of major parameters to link participation in rhythmic exercise and self-esteem.
