In this paper, to analyze the meaning of middle-aged men's economic activities, TEXTOM was used to analyze them. The data collection period is set from 2017 to 2019. Among the collected data, 100 refined words were converted into a matrix in which the degree of social connection was calculated, and the keyword network analysis was performed again with the NetDraw program. According to the study, middle-aged men put more meaning on their current work and family than their future retirement. Also, the related word commonly included in the top five for all three years was 'work'. Related words commonly included in the top 10 were 'old age', 'family', and 'work', and in 2018 and 2019, 'health' was included in the top 10. As a result of this, the middle-aged men living in the modern age are the generation who keep their families through economic activities and are increasingly interested in health and prepare for retirement. Therefore, policy support for stable economic activities is needed to improve the quality of life for middle-aged men. It is necessary to extend the retirement age, expand jobs and provide effective vocational training so that it can handle its role as the head of a family. In addition, measures should be taken to reduce the wage gap between highly skilled and low-skilled workers.

본 연구는 퇴직을 앞둔 중년기 직장 남성을 대상으로 배우자 지지 및 인지적 정서조절전략이 은퇴불안에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 실시되었다. 이에 배우자 지지 및 인지적 정서조절전략을 독립변인으로 은퇴불안을 종속변인으로 설정하였다. 이를 위해 서울시, 경기도, 강원도, 충청도, 경상도 등 주요 5개 도시에서 근무하는 중년기 직장 남성들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 응답이 불충분한 설문을 제외하고 총 313부의 자료가 분석에 사용하였다. 다중회귀분석을 사용하여 검증한 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 배우자지지 수준은 중간보다 낮았으나 정서조절전략은 중간수준 보다 다소 높았고, 은퇴불안은 중간보다 다소 낮은 수준이었다. 둘째, 배우자 지지는 은퇴불안에 유의미한 부적 영향요인으로 은퇴불안을 낮추는데 기여한다. 셋째, 인지적 정서조절전략은 은퇴불안에 유의한 변인으로 확인되지 않았다. 결론적으로, 중년기 직장 남성의 은퇴불안을 감소시키기 위해서는 배우자 지지를 강화시키는 실천적 접근이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 사이즈코리아의 제7차 인체측정조사 자료 중 40-59세 중년 남성의 직접 계측 데이터를 분석하여 전신 체형의 특성을 알아보고, 중년 남성의 전신 체형을 유형화하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 맞음새가 우수한 중년 남성의 의복패턴 제작에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 전신 계측자료는 SPSS Ver. 24.0 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 요인은 신체의 수평, 수직, 어깨관련, 앞중심길이, 다리굵기, 어깨처짐 등 6개 요인이 추출되었다. 중년 남성의 전신체형은 3개로 유형화되어 유형1은 둘레는 가늘고 너비는 좁으며, 높이는 낮고 앞중심길이는 짧으며 다리가 얇은 체형이다. 유형 2는 높이는 높고 앞중심길이는 길며, 둘레 및 너비는 보통으로 다리가 굵고 어깨가 처진 체형이다. 유형3은 둘레는 크고 너비는 넓으며 어깨도 넓은 체형으로 앞중심길이는 긴 편이지만 신체높이는 낮고 어깨가 처지지 않은 체형이다. 중년 남성은 복부의 돌출 및 지방축적에 따른 둘레와 두께 항목의 증가가 두드러지므로 이를 반영한 패턴 제작이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the development of a prototype of a garment that allows middle aged men to look idealized by examining the type of perception of middle aged men based on their subjective evaluation and their characteristics. This study used the Q methodology, which is a subjective research method that finds correlations among middle aged men across subjective attributes. The types of perception of body shape of middle aged men were analyzed as three types: leaning forward shape with bird legs, developed upper body shape with thick legs, protruding abdomen obesity body shape. The leaning forward shape with bird legs was recognized as the lowest in the BMI index, and the shoulder and chest were sagging, legs were thinner than the body and leaned forward. And that the hip were protruding and had a flat rectangular shape. Developed upper body shape with thick legs was the second overweight type of BMI index. It was recognized that the ankle and calf thighs were thick and the upper abdomen protruded upper body development body. Protruding abdomen obesity body shape was the most obese type with BMI index. In this type, the height was the smallest, and the upper abdomen came out and the abdomen protruded, and the abdomen was more exuded than the chest, and the neck was thick and the hips were recognized as the big body. The middle aged men's recognitive body shape was classified as a similar to actual body shape. However, in the recognition type, the frontal and side body types were mixed and classified. It is necessary to study the ergonomic pattern considering the features of each body type. This suggests that psychological effects can be obtained that allow the body shape that changes with age to be accepted more positively.
