The purpose of this research was to identify the dimensions of modesty and immodesty in dress and to examine the differences in female college students' perceptions, in various cultures, of modest and immodest clothes. The researchers selected South Korea and the United States for the cross-cultural comparison study because these two countries show distinctive cultural characteristics. This study was conducted through both qualitative and quantitative methods. According to the result of the preliminary study, 47 questions were developed. The 4 Likert type scales used in the questionnaire were written in both English and Korean. Pretests were performed simultaneously in both countries. 174 American and 208 Korean students completed the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS. According to the results of factor analysis, there were 4 factors identified for the modesty-immodesty concept, including 'Conservativeness', 'Body exposure', 'Social appropriateness', and 'Attracting attention from others'. Students answered that they liked to wear conservative and socially appropriate dress in both cultures and that they did not like to wear clothing which draws a great deal of attention to them.

자동차에서 발생되는 여러가지 문제점들중에서 가장 고객들에게 민감하게 영향을 미치고 중요한 문제가 차량의 정숙성이다.이러한 정숙성을 대변하는 지표중의 하나가 차량에서 발생하는 진동소음의 수준이다. 차량의 지노ㄷㅇ소음은 이러한 정숙성의 문제뿐아니라 승용차를 개발하는 기술력의 종합적인 평가지표로서도 매우 중요한 분야이다. 따라서 이러한 진동소음 문제를 해결하기 위해서 각 자동차의 기술연구소에서는 많은 노력과 시간을 투자하여 이 분야의 기술력 향상에 매진하고 있는 실정이다. 최근에는 보다 적극적인 진동소음 문제 해결 방법으로서 과거에 사용하던 소극적인 문제 해결 방법으로서 과거에 사용하던 소극적이고 방어적인 방법,- 즉 진동소음 발생 현상을 발견하여 그현상을 치유하는 방법에서 벗어나 진동소음 문제를 일으키는 진동소음원(source)을 찾아 직접 그 원인을 차단 및 치유하는 적극적이고 공격적인 방법을 이용하고있다. 본 글에서는 이러한 진동소음 문제를 차량의 개발 단계에서 해결하기 위한 일련의 과정 및 여러가지 개선기법에 대해서 살펴보고 그를 통한 진동소음 문제 해결방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, the sound design of the electric vehicle has emerged as one of the new research objects. This study was conducted to explore and examine major values of interior driving sound of the electric vehicle from the perspective of user experience. An exploratory study based on the ground theory extracted contextual information and quietness as independent variables, and then we analyzed the main and interaction effects of those two variables on the usefulness, emotion, and satisfaction through a $2{\times}2$ factorial experimental design. The experimental study demonstrated that the effect on the user experience of electric vehicle can be conditioned by the combination of contextual information sound and quietness. Based on the results of this study, we suggested future research agendas for the optimization of user needs which reflect individual preference of interior driving sound values.

The Purpose of this research is to compare the feminine modesties expressed in the clothes of women's college students in 1980s and 1990s, and to find out the social cause of the change of modesty by reference data. Korean women's college students in 1980s considered feminine modesty very important in the selection of clothes but students in 1990's had quite different attitudes. The major cause of this change may be due to the fact that the traditional conservative values in clothes were diminished in 1990's. The main cause of different values in 1980s and 1990s is the rapid social change of korean society in this Period. The concrete factors of changes were the change of authoritarian aesthetic values and the Positive orientation to diversity individuality sensibility and sexuality.

On the other hand, teachers in high schools considered it more important than students did. With regard to modesty, the difference between students and teachers became significant in high schools compared to middle schools.

본 연구는 연변 지역 조선족 여자 대학생을 대상으로 의복태도에 따른 의복구매동기를 조사함으로써 소비자의 심리적 특성을 밝히는데 그 목적이 있다. 2002년 5월에서 6월 사이에 300부의 설문지가 중국 연변 지역의 여자 대학생에게 배부되어 248부의 설문지가 최종적으로 분석에 사용되었다. 설문지는 5점 척도를 사용하였고, 통계처리는 SAS PC 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 요인분석, t-test를 하였다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 여자 대학생의 의복태도는 유행성, 유명상표지향성, 심미성, 정숙성의 네 요인으로 분류되었다. 각 요인 별로 요인의 평균값이 높은 집단과 낮은 집단으로 분류하여 의복태도에 따른 의복구매동기를 조사한 결과, 유행성${\cdot}$유명상표지향성${\cdot}$심미성${\cdot}$정숙성 네 요인 모두 각 요인 별로 평균값이 높은 집단과 낮은 두 집단 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 유행성요인에 높은 평균점수를 갖는 집단은 낮은 집단에 비해 멋진 외모나 새로운 유행을 추구하기 위해 의복을 구입하는 동기가 높았고, 미적요인에 높은 평균점수를 갖는 집단은 낮은 집단에 비해 실용적 이유보다는 사회적 모임이나 기분의 변화를 위하여 의복의 구매동기를 가졌다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 의복태도는 중국조선족소비자의 경우에도 의복구매행동을 예측하는 좋은 변수가 될 수 있으며 시장세분화를 위한 유용한 기준이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
