Abstract

Despite fashion being one of the most common and accessible aesthetic activities in everyday life, very few empirical studies of clothing selection and preferences exist. To address this empirical gap, an online survey of 500 participants was constructed. A four-factor preference structure, Everyday Clothing Preference Factors (ECPF), emerged, consisting of essential, comfortable, feminine, and trendy styles. Further analysis revealed the preference for each of these four factors to be associated with clothing colors and individual differences. The transferability of ECPF across three preference judgment types (clothing one likes and owns, clothing one likes but does not own, and clothing one owns but does not like) revealed the robustness of the preference structure, through which a short version of ECPF was created. The paper concludes by discussing the implications and impact of scientifically studying fashion as an object of aesthetics and empirical study.
时尚美学可以实证研究吗?日常服装选择的偏好结构
尽管时尚是日常生活中最常见和最容易获得的审美活动之一,但很少有关于服装选择和偏好的实证研究。为了解决这一经验差距,我们构建了一项500名参与者的在线调查。一个四因素偏好结构,即日常服装偏好因素(ECPF),由基本、舒适、女性化和时尚风格组成。进一步的分析表明,这四个因素中的每一个都与衣服的颜色和个体差异有关。ECPF在三种偏好判断类型(喜欢并拥有的衣服、喜欢但不拥有的衣服和拥有但不喜欢的衣服)之间的可转移性揭示了偏好结构的鲁棒性,并由此创建了ECPF的简短版本。文章最后讨论了将时尚作为美学和实证研究的对象进行科学研究的意义和影响。
