By incorporating the theory of Concerns for Information Privacy and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology into the Privacy Calculus Theory, the purpose of this study is to understand fashion consumers’ privacy paradox and investigate cultural differences (U.S. vs. China). A partial least squares structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis was conducted from two data sets collected online (N U.S.= 525, N China = 484). Results show that consumer concerns toward data management (i.e., collection, error, secondary use) and service excellence expectations (i.e., perceived expectance, facilitation condition, hedonic motivation) explain the privacy calculus (i.e., risk and benefit) in consumer decisions. The results indicate that error management is critical to understanding Chinese consumers’ privacy calculus, while secondary use is important for U.S. consumers.","PeriodicalId":47110,"journal":{"name":"Clothing and Textiles Research Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139159780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 13 (textile samples) × 3 (repetition) experimental research design consisting of 10 3D-printed auxetic structure textiles and three traditional lace fabrics were utilized in this study. The findings indicate that 3D-printed multi-angular auxetic structures exhibited the highest level of drapability followed by sinusoidal and triangular auxetic structures; these multi-angular structure textiles with draping coefficient ranging from 26.82% to 31.43% have a great potential to simulate traditional lace-like fabrics. A statistically significant correlation also was found between drapability and weight of 3D-printed auxetic structure textiles. This study demonstrates a true potential of 3D-printed auxetic structure textiles as alternatives of traditional lace textiles and their application in the wearable product development.","PeriodicalId":47110,"journal":{"name":"Clothing and Textiles Research Journal","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135202912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Indonesia, hijab commercialization has been especially prominent. This study used consumer socialization theory to examine the relationship between hijab influencers (HIs), religious factors, attitudes toward fashionable hijab, and commodified hijab-style choices. In particular, we examined involvement with HIs, HIs' influence on hijab consumption, religiosity, and religious community involvement to investigate the mechanisms of consumer socialization. Structural equation modeling revealed that hijab influencers, as consumer socialization agents, reinforced positive attitudes toward fashionable hijab, whereas religious community involvement, as a social structural variable, had a negative effect. Finally, positive attitudes toward fashionable hijab positively influenced the pursuit of commodified hijab-style choices. These findings have practical implications for vendors targeting the Indonesian market by distinguishing commodified hijab styles from conservative hijab styles and identifying the factors influencing consumers.","PeriodicalId":47110,"journal":{"name":"Clothing and Textiles Research Journal","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79415551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the cost- and time-consuming process of SMA shape memory training and performance testing can be optimized for improved efficiency. This study addresses this challenge by developing machine learning models to predict the thermal protection of a smart fabric system (SFS) with a SMF. The training data was sourced from the previous experimental studies, and six features significantly impacting thermal protection were identified. Results demonstrated that gradient boosting regressor (GBR) model exhibited the highest accuracy, with the SMA interval emerging as the most critical feature in determining thermal protection. Moreover, the GBR model predicted that SFS presented the best thermal protection when the dry SMF was woven by SMA of 2 cm interval and aramid 1414 of 20 roots/cm density, located between the moisture barrier and thermal liner vertically.","PeriodicalId":47110,"journal":{"name":"Clothing and Textiles Research Journal","volume":"121 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77301031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses of data collected from 1296 U.S. consumers revealed that participants’ word-of-mouth (WOM) intentions, both positive and negative, were impacted by inconsistencies between CMR initiatives and actions. When inconsistency was absent, highest PWOM intention was generated for issues related to workers and least for shareholders. Shared values significantly moderated the relation as well. When CMR message action was consistent, PWOM intention was higher for participants with high shared value (vs. low shared value).

Black feminist thought and Black feminist geographies informed the data analysis of interview transcripts from 20 millennial Black women. The findings reveal that millennial Black women shop at the Black beauty supply store due to convenience and the variety in product assortment. Yet, the in-store surveillance and assumptions of criminality affect their psyche, resulting in disengagement from the store.

Although clothing is an influential communication tool and identity construction mechanism, very little research has explored the relationship between dress and SJ activism. Using Identity theory, this study proposed a model of non-Blacks’ adoption of BLM apparel/accessories which included repurchase intention and need for uniqueness as a moderating factor. The model was verified using structural equation modeling for the data obtained from a sample of 405 non-Black participants who purchased BLM apparel/accessories in the past 12 months. The results show a positive relationship exists between SJ commitment and SJ social identity salience and identity salience positively influences SJ behavior. The study also validated that SJ behavior positively influences repurchase intention. The findings improve our understanding of the motivations of non-Black BLM supporters.","PeriodicalId":47110,"journal":{"name":"Clothing and Textiles Research Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"277 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87921835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
