| ABSTRACT |
|
The purpose of this study was to identify the factor structure of self-efficacy, clothing behaviors, contents application of the unit ‘preparing and managing clothes’ and the effects of self-efficacy on clothing behavior and contents application of the unit ‘preparing and managing clothes’. Questionnaires were administered to 201 girl students in middle school, living in the Daegu area. Frequency, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression were used for data analysis. The findings are as follows. Self-efficacy was composed of five factors, namely interpersonal skills, task performance skills, anxiety, planned performance, and challenging action. Clothing behavior was composed of five factors, namely pleasure, coordinated clothes, uniform preference, learning behavior, and fashion oriented. Contents application of the unit ‘preparing and managing clothes’ was composed of two factors, namely usefulness of lectures in general, and usefulness of Hanbok lecture. The effects of clothing behavior and contents application of the unit ‘preparing and managing clothes’ on each of the self-efficacy variables, like interpersonal skills, task performance skills, anxiety, planned performance, and challenging action were explained by factors such as pleasure, coordinated clothes, uniform preference, learning behavior and fashion oriented, and usefulness of lectures in general and usefulness of Hanbok lecture. |
