Objective : To translate and adapt the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale into Korean and validate the Korean version of the social appearance anxiety scale, which measures the fear and anxiety about being negatively evaluated by others based on one's overall appearance, including body shape. Methods : For item translation and adaptation, six bilingual translators participated in the process of forward-adaptation and back-adaptation. Data were collected from undergraduate students. The sample size is 105 for Study 1 and 212 for Study 2. Classical item discrimination and difficulty analyses, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability analysis were performed. Results : A unidimensional structure was found with a high internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.95) and a high test-retest reliability (r=0.918). In addition, the concurrent validity was examined by correlations of the scale and several other scales measuring constructs related to social appearance anxiety. Conclusion : K-SAAS appears to be a reliable and valid scale for screening and assessing social appearance anxiety.

본 연구는 대학생의 패션 유능감이 사회불안에 미치는 영향을 대인관계능력과 외모 불안의 매개효과를 중심으로 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 온라인 커뮤니티를 통해 235명의 대학생에 설문조사를 실시하였으며, SPSS 26.0을 사용하여 데이터를 분석하였다. 요인분석 결과 패션 유능감의 하위 요인으로는 패션 관여도, 패션 혁신성, 패션 코디 자신감이 나타났으며, 회귀분석을 통하여 매개모형을 분석한 결과, 패션 관여도는 대인관계능력을 통해 사회불안을 간접적으로 낮추는 반면, 외모 불안의 매개효과는 없었다. 패션 혁신성은 외모 불안을 통해 사회불안에 간접 영향을 미치지만 대인관계능력의 매개효과는 없었다. 패션 코디 자신감은 대인관계능력과 외모 불안 모두를 통해 사회불안에 간접적 영향 미쳤으며, 직접 효과도 유의하였다. 이 연구는 패션 유능감이 사회불안에 대해 양면적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 대학생들의 사회불안 해결을 위해 패션 테라피 프로그램을 통해 패션 코디 자신감을 증진시키는 것이 유용할 수 있음을 제안하였다. 그러나 이러한 프로그램에서 패션 혁신성의 과도한 추구는 외모 불안을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 지양하여야 하며, 자신의 외모에 대한 자신감 증진에 초점을 맞춰야 할 것이다.

When women are exposed to images of other attractive women such as media models, it is known that many go through a social comparison process and a contrast effect occurs which results in unfavorable perception and attitudes toward the self. This paper suggests women's perception of control over their appearance as one of the factors that may moderate the contrast effect of a social comparison with attractive media models. An experiment with 211 women was conducted to examine the differential effect of viewing attractive models versus non-human images on the responses of women with high/low perceived control over appearance. A two(Stimuli Type: attractive-model image vs. non-human image) by two(Perceived Control over Appearance: High vs. Low) MANCOVA model was tested with physical appearance anxiety, self-esteem, and body satisfaction as dependent variables and appearance orientation, body mass index, age, years of schooling, ethnicity, and marital status as covariates. A significant Perceived Control main effect on Physical Appearance Anxiety and Self-Esteem and a significant Stimuli Type by Perceived Control interaction effect on Physical Appearance Anxiety and Self-Esteem were found. Those who perceived high control over their appearance were more likely to have higher self-esteem and lower appearance anxiety. However, among those who saw attractive model's images, women perceived low appearance control showed less anxiety and higher body satisfaction than those perceived high appearance control.

Branded service encounters, in which various aspects of frontline employees are strategically aligned with the firm's brand positioning, can be achieved along several dimensions such as employee appearance, manner, and personality. While previous research has mainly focused on behavioral traits of employees, this research examines the employee's physical appearance in association with the brand personality trait across two studies. Study 1 shows that salesperson look-brand personality congruence enhances brand affect by inducing positive affect. Specifically, a brand-congruent look of a salesperson increases positive affect among customers by confirming their prior expectations about what a salesperson of a certain brand should look like as a brand representative. Study 2 reveals that the positive impact of salesperson look-brand personality congruence on brand affect is significant only for customers with high social anxiety whereas this effect disappears for those with low social anxiety. These findings extend previous research on branded service encounters by showing why and when frontline employees' physical appearance shapes customers' affective responses toward the brand.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types in women and is amongst the most devastating and stressful events in the life of women. The external appearance of breast cancer patients usually changes due to the surgical and/or medical therapies used. An association may be found between social support perception and social appearance anxiety in patients with breast cancer in the period after mastectomy. Therefore, this study investigated the social appearance anxiety and social support status in women with breast cancer in our country. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment or follow-up in Medical Oncology and General Surgery departments. Results: The mean age of the participants was $51.13{\pm}8.48$ years (range, 24-74 years) with nearly half of the patients (40.6%) aged 40-50 years. Of the patients, 39.1% had stage 3 breast cancer. The mean score on Cancer Patient's Social Support Scale (CPSSS) was $134.85{\pm}9.35$, and there was a significant difference in CPSSS total scores betweena the age groups, educational levels, self-reported income levels and stage of disease (p<0.05). The mean Social Image Anxiety Scale (SIAS) score was found to be $34.30{\pm}9.35$ (min:16, max:66) in women participating in this study. The CPSSS and SIAS scores of the participants were inversely correlated, and the SIAS score was found to decrease with the increasing CPSSS score but with no statistically significant difference (r=-0.110, p=0.217). Conclusions: Social appearance anxiety is higher in the patients with poor social support.

본 연구에서는 대학생들의 노화불안에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 영향력을 조사하였다. 서울과 경기 지역 소재 대학의 학부생 336명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 노화불안의 하위 차원 중 노인에 대한 두려움 차원에 영향을 주는 요인은 노인접촉 질과 노인에 대한 태도였으며 심리적 불안정 차원에 영향을 주는 요인은 노인접촉 질, 노인에 대한 태도, 죽음불안이었다. 신체/외모에 대한 걱정 차원의 경우, 노인접촉 질, 죽음불안, 성별이 영향을 주었고 상실의 공포 차원에는 노인에 대한 태도와 죽음불안이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 전반적으로 죽음불안이 낮을수록, 접촉의 질이 긍정적일수록, 노인에 대한 태도가 긍정적일수록 노화불안이 낮았으며 여성이 남성에 비해 노화에 따른 신체/외모에 대한 걱정이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 반면 노인접촉 빈도와 노화에 대한 지식은 노화불안에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점, 의의, 후속연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
