The purpose of this study was to identify preteen girls and their mothers' apparel image preference and apparel purchase behavior. This study was particularly interested in verifying the influencing factors of plus size preteen girls' apparel choice by investigating the correlations between preteens' physical characteristic and their apparel related variables. Data were obtained from the questionnaire by 190 preteen girls and 120 mothers. The influential power of preteens on apparel purchase decision was greater than that of their mothers, and their preferred apparel images were comfortable/neat, cute/girlish, and mature/chic. Comparing to preteen girls, their mothers preferred comfortable/neat and cute/girlish images to mature/chic apparel image. Their physical maturity levels were significantly correlated with apparel image preference. Moreover, plus size preteen girls' interests in appearance and clothing was higher than that of normal weight preteen girls, this implied potentiality in apparel market for plus size preteen.

The data were collected ken 458 fifth and sixth grade girls and boys of five elementary schools ill Seoul, Korea via self-administered questionnaires, and were analyzed by factor analysis, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows: Regarding the gender differences in research variables, preteen girls showed more interest in clothing/hair style management, weight management, TV involvement and celebrity imitation than preteen boys. Girls showed lower level of satisfaction than boys. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify the effects of media involvement, body satisfaction and self-esteem on appearance management behavior.

This study determines the body size of preteen children and conducts questionnaire investigations into the awareness of real purchasers or parents of and satisfaction with children's clothes and fit, in order to provide the basic data for planning and setting up the size range for the preteens market in which the sales of children clothes are gradually increasing. The findings of this study are as follow: Analyzing the obesity of the children against the Rohrer index showed that almost 30% of the subjects were obese children and that it is necessary to research the sizes of the clothes for obese children. It was also found that older children selected a more appropriate clothe size. Investigations into the awareness of children on their body image found that there was a significant difference in the perception of body shape, body weight, shoulder breath, arm thickness, chest girt, waist girth, hip girth, and thigh thickness. Slim or standard type children had the greatest consideration for the length of clothes to purchase while obese children had the greatest consideration for bosom size and waist girth. However, in terms of the association between fitness and size selection, obese children did not select a bigger size but an appropriate one for their body. The findings show that it is imperative to develop appropriate size clothes for obese children.

본 연구에서는 Zr이 도핑 된 ZnSnO (ZZTO) 기반의 물질을 액상공정을 이용하여 합성하고, 박막트랜지스터를 제작하였다. 출발 물질로써 지르코늄 클로라이드 (ZrCl4), 아연 아세테이트 디하이드레이트 ($Zn(CH_3COO)_2{\cdot}2H_3O$), 틴 클로라이드 ($SnCl_2$)를 아연과 주석 프리커서의 비율을 4:7로 고정하고, 지르코늄 프리커서의 몰비를 변형시켜 제작하였다. 제작된 솔루션은 0.25몰의 몰 농도로 고정하였다. 솔벤트로는 2-메톡시에탄올 (2-methoxyethanol)을 사용하였으며, 준비된 솔루션은 $0.2{\mu}m$ 필터를 이용하여 필터링을 실시하였다. Heavily doped p+ Si 기판에 열적 산화법을 이용하여 120 nm 두께의 $SiO_2$를 성장시킨 것을 게이트 및 게이트 절연막으로 이용하였으며, 스핀코팅을 이용하여 ZZTO 박막을 코팅하였다. 코팅 된 기판은 $300^{\circ}C$에서 $500^{\circ}C$ 사이로 2시간 열처리를 실시하였으며, 마지막으로 소오스/드레인을 스퍼터링법으로 Al을 증착하였다. Zr 함량비, 열처리 온도, 제작된 솔루션의 온도에 따른 박막단계를 파악하기 위해 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetry differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Hall-effect measurement, UV-Vis spectroscopy 분석을 실시하였으며, 제작된 소자는 semiconductor analyzer (HP4156C)를 이용하여 측정하였다.

Measuring instruments are as follows: 5questions to differentiate preteen generation, 22 questions to measure life style, 17questions (which have six sub-factors such as purchase motive, factor of product selection, utilization of informant, purchase time, purchase place, and purchase method) to measure the purchase behavior of fashion goods measurement, and 16 questions (which have four sub-factors such as parent, entertainer & sports stars, brothers and sisters, friends) to measure model of role. Statistical data were processed by SPSS 10.0 programs. Frequencies, Factor analysis, Cluster analysis, ANOVA, Cross analysis, Multiplex regression analysis, and Duncan's multiple range test were carried out.
