This study investigated the effects of body consciousness and body esteem on interpersonal competence. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 220 dental hygiene students during July 1-31, 2020. The findings show that the subjects scored means of 3.32±0.26, 3.33±0.53, and 3.49±0.45 out of 5 in body consciousness, body esteem, and interpersonal competence, respectively. There were negative correlations between body surveillance and body shame (r=-0.303, p<0.001), as well as between two subfactors of body consciousness. Body shame was positively correlated with subfactors of interpersonal competence such as relationship initiation (r=0.217, p<0.01), claim for displeasure (r=0.218, p<0.01), and conflict management (r=0.231, p<0.01). Under the category of body esteem, body function esteem had positive correlations with conflict management (r=0.293, p<0.01) and consideration for others (r=0.141, p<0.05). Body consciousness and body esteem had effects on interpersonal competence, with an explanatory power of 13.4%. Higher body consciousness (β=.16, p=0.016) and body esteem (β=.22, p=0.02) were associated with greater interpersonal competence. These findings demonstrate that college students' objectified body consciousness and body esteem have an impact on their interpersonal competence. This raises the need to develop and apply a program to help students have positive perceptions of their bodies and establish their own individuality and body images to enhance their interpersonal competence.

본 연구는 한국과 중국, 일본 남녀 대학생들의 신체가치관과 신체이미지를 비교하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 한국(n=347), 중국(n=341), 일본(n=271)의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 신체에 대한 가치관인 신체조작성, 신체편향성, 신체평가소재, 외모도구성과 객체화 신체의식 그리고 신체존중감을 조사하였다. 분석결과, 신체가치관과 객체화 신체의식, 외모존중감에서 국가간 차이가 있었다. 한국대학생들은 신체에 대한 자의적 조작에 가장 허용적이며, 건강보다는 외모를 중요한 것으로 믿으며, 자신의 신체를 타인의 관점에서 평가하며, 외모가 이성관계나 사회적 성취에서 도구적 기능을 하는 것으로 믿는 정도가 일본이나 중국대학생에 비해 높아서 삼국 중 가장 덜 보수적인 신체가치관을 가지고 있었다. 외모존중감은 중국대학생과 비슷한 수준이지만 일본대학생에 비해 높았다. 자신의 신체에 대한 감시성과 수치심은 일본대학생과 비슷한 수준이었지만 중국대학생에 비해서는 높았다. 성별 차이에 관해, 여대생은 남대생에 비해 상대적으로 건강에 비해 외모를 더 중요한 것으로 믿고 있으며, 외모존중감이 더 낮으며, 감시성이나 수치심도 더 높은 것으로 나타나서 신체가치관에서는 큰 차이가 없지만, 외모존중감이나 객체화신체의식은 더 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 집단별로 볼 때, 한국여대생은 신체가치관은 가장 덜 보수적이었으며, 외모존중감과 객체화 신체의식은 중국여대생과 일본여대생의 중간수준이었다. 일본여대생은 특히 외모존중감이 가장 낮고 신체에 대한 감시성과 수치심이 가장 높아서 가장 부정적인 신체경험을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 중국여대생은 가장 보수적인 신체가치관을 가지고 있으며 외모존중감이 한국과 일본여대생에 비해 높고 감시성이나 수치심은 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 중국과 일본표본에서 신체가치관은 객체화 신체의식의 매개과정을 통해 외모존중감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 한국표본에서는 신체가치관이 외모존중감에 직접적인 영향도 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study aims to obtain basic data for conceptual establishment of sports participation and perceived benefits by considering prior research on the effects of sports participation to derive variables for perceived benefits of sports participants. Research design, data, and methodology: This study used an integrated literature review. A conceptual model is designed with reference to a prior study by adopting a guiding theory. Based on the key words. The literature collection was conducted online, and the reference period for the literature collection was for studies published between 2015 and 2020. Results: First, a total of seven related variables were derived from the literature analysis related to sports participation and physical benefits. Second, a total of six variables were derived from the literature analysis related to sports participation and mental benefits. Third, a total of four related variables were derived through a literature analysis related to sports participation and social benefits. Conclusions: Health fitness, objectified body consciousness, and social body shape anxiety, including body composition, approach physical benefits among perceived benefits through sports participation, and physical self-efficacy and physical self-concepts are related to physical benefits but are also shown to be related to mental benefits. And successful aging is seen to be close to social benefits and related to some mental benefits. Mental and social benefits can be seen as the variables derived from the results being related to the benefits, and more in-depth exploration of perceived benefits is needed.

The Republican Period of China (1912 to 1949) was when the archetypes of thought (constituting contemporary China) engaged in heated rivalry and were directly influenced by Korea through frequent exchanges. This study analyzes the characteristic of Chinese women's aesthetics towards the human body with a focus on visual materials (such as articles and illustrations concerning hairstyle, makeup, skincare, fashion, and gymnastics) featured in the Chinese women magazines of Fun$\ddot{u}$zazhi (婦女雜誌) and Linglong (玲瓏). This study analyzes these magazines and compares them with Korean counterparts. The movement of the developed and controlled human body was a common characteristic of this period; however, compared to the Chinese, the Japanese colonial period of Korea resulted in an introspective self-examination through excessively objectified eyes. Dress and adornment as the symbol of a new civilization acted as the most remarkable signifier. The overlapping of a western image with a Japanese image led to more resistance in Korea. The criterion for the value of a women's external appearance (that traditionally dualized womanly virtues) collapsed and dress was accepted as an expression of individuality instead of as a social class. The human body was traditionally recognized as a microcosm of the universe that dominated the natural principle of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. However, the ideal human body was postulated and the aesthetic consciousness of the body changed into an imaginary view of the human body that proceeded to keep the body fit for and gave birth to the concept of supplementing the deficiency of the beauty of the human body with dress and makeup.
