The pursuit of a healthier life has created life style changes through exercise; in addition, an athleisure look as well as a combination of everyday clothes and sportswear has rapidly spread through sharing based on image-based SNS. Fashion related images shown in an image-based SNS are considered important resources for grasping micro-needs with regard to the sensibility of consumers. Therefore, this study analyzes the design characteristics of an athleisure look shown in image-based SNS. In order to analyze the athleisure look, images of the entire garment were collected and classified to enable content analysis methods that analyzed the design characteristics of each type. As a result, types were classified as sporty-athleisure, modern-athleisure, high-end athleisure, retro-athleisure, and romantic-athleisure. Looking at the characteristics of the athleisure look, it was shown that the design characteristics of each type were well expressed through differences in the direction, material, and details by matching between the items used. This study can be used in design development processes by deriving the characteristics of athleisure looks through an analysis of fashion images that appear in image-based SNS.

소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service) 환경의 급속한 발전과 더불어 사용자의 니즈가 다양해지면서 새로운 형태의 이미지 기반 SNS가 등장하고 있다. 이미지 기반 SNS는 기존의 페이스북과 같은 관계기반 SNS에서는 충족될 수 없었던 사용자의 세분된 콘텐츠 니즈를 충족시킬 수 있는 개인 맞춤형 서비스를 제공함으로써 서비스의 다양화를 선도하고 있다. 이미지 기반 SNS는 작은 모바일 화면에서 보기 불편했던 기존의 텍스트 기반 SNS와는 달리 간단한 텍스트와 이미지를 위주로 소통하는 방식을 제공함으로써 문자보다 이미지에 익숙한 20대의 젊은 사용자들을 중심으로 주 사용자층을 형성하고 있다. 이에 따라 SNS의 UI 기능과 역할도 다양해졌으므로 그만큼 사용성이 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이미지 기반 SNS의 주 이용자인 20대의 사용자를 대상으로 하여 사용성을 조사하고자 한다. 이를 위해, UI의 문제점을 파악할 수 있는 휴리스틱 평가 방법을 바탕으로 하였고 사용성을 이루는 주요 요인들을 도출하여 사용성 평가 방법을 재구성하였다. 그리고 만족도 측정을 추가하여 이미지 기반 SNS를 이용하는 20대의 사용자들에게 설문조사를 시행하고 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 이미지 기반 SNS의 사용성에 영향을 끼치는 사용성의 요소를 분석하였고, 이는 소셜 미디어의 서비스 개발 과정에서 사용성 향상을 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study examines the image pursuit behavior according to body surveillance, body shame of image-based SNS-used women. Questionnaires were administered to 215 SNS-used women aging between 20 to 30 years old. The SPSS 25.0 package was utilized for data analysis, which included frequency analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach's α, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The study analyzed the relationship between body surveillance, body shame single factor, and subfactors of image pursuit behavior(conformity, instrumentality, fashion pursuit, attractiveness pursuit, ostentation pursuit, interpersonal). It was observed that body surveillance and body shame had a positive influence on all the factors of image pursuit behavior. Body surveillance demonstrated a high influence on attractiveness pursuit while body shame demonstrated a high influence on ostentation pursuit. Body surveillance had a positive influence on body shame. These results provide useful information for understanding the influence of social media on the psychological attitude and consciousness of women with regard to their body and image pursuit behavior. In addition, results from this study will help to systematize women's theoretical physical consciousness, establish product strategies for physical appearance-related industries, and set marketing directions.

The results revealed: first, self-monitoring groups exhibited significant differences in self-objectification. The higher self-monitoring group was more influenced by body surveillance and body shame compared to the low self-monitoring group. Second, self-objectification had a positive influence on all the factors of image management behavior. Especially, body surveillance demonstrated a high influence on instrumentality and body shame showed a high influence on ostentation. Third, the self-monitoring groups showed significant differences in all the factors of image management behavior.

SNS는 서비스의 형태를 다양하게 변화시키면서 1세대부터 3세대까지 발전을 거듭해왔다. 최근에는 인스타그램이나 핀터레스트와 같이 이미지를 중심으로 소통하는 이미지 기반 SNS가 3세대 서비스로 떠오르면서 많은 사용자들에게 인기를 얻고 있는 상황이다. 이처럼 이미지 기반 SNS는 이미지를 중심으로 소통한다는 특징 때문에 이미지의 활용 방식에 있어서도 다른 서비스들과는 차별 점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 특징에 주목하여 이미지 기반 SNS에 나타나는 이미지의 다양한 속성을 살펴보고 사용자들의 인식 차이를 알아보았다. 또한 이를 활용하여 각 속성들이 서비스의 만족에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는지 확인하였다. 살펴본 이미지의 속성은 '자기지시성', '기록성', '정체성 표현', '간접 경험', '일회적 유희성', '욕망 생산' 과 같이 6가지였다. 사용자들의 6가지 속성에 대한 인식 차이를 비교한 결과 기록성과 간접 경험을 비교적 높게 반영되어 있다고 인식하고 있었으며, 각 속성에 대한 인식은 사용자의 연령, 이미지 기반 SNS의 사용 동기, 보유한 팔로워 수와 같은 사용자의 특성에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이미지의 속성이 사용자 만족에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 간접 경험이 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 간접 경험은 실제 이미지 기반 SNS의 이미지에 반영되어 있다고 인식하는 정도가 높고 만족에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 속성으로 밝혀져, 이미지 기반 SNS를 설명하는 대표적인 속성으로 이해해볼 수 있었다.
