The purpose of this study is to explore and delineate the nature of clothing attitude in the Taiwan context, as well as to construct a dynamic mechanism relevant to indigenous clothing attitude. Results from in-depth interviews with sixteen Taiwanese adults indicate that social psychological aspects of clothing attitude consists of the environmental, interpersonal, and intrapersonal domains. Further analyses provide evidences of a number of psychological constructions typical for the Chinese cultural context, such as relational orientation, maintaining face, and family influence. The three domains, as found in each subject’s appearance management or self-presentation, are incorporated into a dynamic clothing attitude model. Suggestions for further research and study limitations are also discussed. |
