Middle-aged women who have been active in consumption as the leading figure of economic activities emphasize quality in their lives and concentrate on taking care of their look. This study attempted to figure out how the consumption-oriented, middle-aged housewives and working women see their hairstyles and give the beauty salons targeting these middle-aged women help in their marketing. In terms of analysis techniques, frequency and percentage were estimated to investigate the general characteristics of the subjects. To examine the factors which change middle-aged women’s hairstyles, their perception on hairstyles and current hairstyles, t-test, one-way ANOVA, χ² (chi-square) and frequency analysis were performed. The study results found the followings: First, both middle-aged housewives and working women were highly aware that a hairstyle has a significant effect on a person’s image. In addition, a slight difference was found by age, marital status, educational background, occupation and monthly income without statistical significance. Second, in terms of middle-aged women’s current hairstyles, a short wavy hairstyle was most popular in both middle-aged housewives and working women, followed by a medium wavy hairstyle. In both middle-aged housewives and working women, a significant difference was found in terms of monthly income. Third, according to middle-aged women’s perception of hairstyles, both middle-aged housewives and working women loved short hair in average with significant difference by age, marital status and occupation. In terms of preference of a perm, it was average in both middle-aged housewives and working women with statistically significant difference.

Analysis of body shape and anthropometric measurements of US middle-aged women using 3D body scan data

Kim, Dong-Eun The Costume Culture Association 2015 服飾文化硏究 Vol.23 No.4

The apparel industry has recently been recognizing the important target market of middle-aged women. The aim of this study was to examine the anthropometric characteristics of US women of 46 to 65 years of age and identify distinctive body shape characteristics of US middle-aged women. A total of 1915 middle-aged women whose ages ranged from 46 to 65 were selected from the SizeUSA database. The age range was divided into two groups: 46-55 and 56-65. Twenty-four body measurements important for apparel development were chosen. Four factors-Girth Factor, Height Factor, Hip Drop Factor, and Bust Drop Factor-accounted for the US middle-aged women's body measurements. The body shapes were classified into four body shapes, which were Y-Shape in the overweight range, S-Shape in the overweight range, H-Shape in the overweight range, and the A-Shape in obese range. H-Shape, which was the least-defined waist in relation to the bust and hips with a short height, existed more in older middle-aged women than in younger middle-aged women. Y-Shape, S-Shape, and A-Shape existed more in the group of younger middle-aged women than in the group of older middle-aged women. In addition, compared with the younger middle-aged women, older middle-aged women had narrower shoulders, a larger waist, thinner legs, and a longer distance between side neck to bust point. The findings from the current study may be applied in the apparel industry for developing clothing sizing systems for US middle-aged women.

중년기의 성격특성(Big Five Types)에 따른 삶의 질의 관계에서 사회활동 매개효과에 관한 연구

김길옥 ( Kil Ok Kim ),윤천성 ( Chun Sung Youn ) 아시아문화학술원 2016 인문사회 21 Vol.7 No.2

현재 우리 사회의 초고령화 사회로 이어지고 있는 상황에 인간의 발달과정에서 청년기와 노년기의 중요한 매개 역할을 하는 중년기는 자기성찰이 증가하면서 인생의 가치와 목표가 재정립되는 시기이며 신체적, 정신적, 사회적으로 전환기에 접어들게 된다. 본 연구는 이러한 과정에 있는 중년기의 성격특성(BIG 5 TYPE)이 삶의 질에 관계에서 사회활동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 자료 분석 방법으로 SPSS통계 패키지 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였고 가설 검증을 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 사회활동 참여의 매개효과를 알아보기 위하여 3단계 매개회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구에서 구체적으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성격특성(BIG 5 TYPE)이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 검증하기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 분석 결과 독립변수의 하위요인인 외향성, 친화성, 성실성, 개방성은 삶의 질에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 신경성은 유의미한 (-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중년기의 성격특성(BIG 5 TYPE)이 사회활동에 유의미한가의 영향을 검증하기위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 분석 결과는 여가활동에는 외향성, 개방성은 통계적으로 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고 신경성은 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또 자기계발 활동에는 외향성, 성실성, 개방성이 중요한 요인임을 알수 있다. 셋째, 중년기의 사회활동은 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 관해서는 사회활동의 하위요인인여가활동과 자기계발 활동이 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있다. 넷째, 중년기의 성격특성(BIG 5 TYPE)이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에서 여가활동의 매개효과를 검증하기 위해 3단계 매개회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 외향성, 개방성, 친화성, 성실성은 1단계에서 통계적으로 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 신경성은 유의미한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 매개조건을 충족하였다. 중년기의 사회활동은 삶의 질에 영향은 주지만 중년기의 성격유형 마다 여가활동과 자기계발 활동에 따른 영향력은 다르다는 것을 도출하고 하고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 협의로는 중년기의 성격특징을 파악하여 개인 상담이나 집단 상담에서 활용하여 소외감을 갖고 있는 자신의 정체성을 긍정적인 방향으로 전환할 수 있는 상담방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 보며 퇴직을 준비하는 중년층은 제2의 인생의 새로운 진로를 선택하는 자기계발에 도움이 될 것이다. 광의로는 기업에서나 공공기관에서 은퇴준비 프로그램에서도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 본다. 이외에도 여러 가지로 활용성이 있는 기초가 될 것이다. Korea is currently moving toward a super.aged society, and the resultant extended middle age is at an important position that mediates between early adulthood and old age in the human development process. In their middle age, people experience increased self.reflection and reestablish their values and goals of life. In addition, the middle age is a transitional period physically, mentally, and socially. Recognizing these characteristics of middle age, this study attempted to examine how the personality trait of middle age would affect social activities in its relationship with quality of life. Through this study, we expect to provide basic information helpful for this generation to introspect themselves and to learn what the good turning point of life is in the middle with problems or crises. For this study, 217 questionnaires were distributed to middle.age people who were in social activities, and with 17 excluded for insincere answers, 200 questionnaires were used as valid data in analyses. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) v. 18.0. Hypotheses were tested through multiple regression analysis, and the mediating effect of participation in social activities was tested through three.stage mediated regression analysis. The results of analyses in this study are as follows. First, in the results of multiple regression analysis for testing the effect of middle .age personality trait(big five) on quality of life, among the sub.factors of personality trait, extroversion, affinity, sincerity, and openness had a significant positive effect, and nerve had a significant negative effect. Second, in the results of multiple regression analysis for testing the effect of middle.age personality trait on social activities, extroversion and openness had a statistically significant positive effect and nerve had a significant negative effect on leisure activities. In addition, extroversion, sincerity, and openness were found to be important factors for self.development activities. Third, with regard to the effect of middle.age social activities on quality of life, the sub.factors of social activities such as leisure activities and self.development activities were found to be important factors. Fourth, in the results of three.stage mediated regression analysis for testing the mediating effect of leisure activities on the relationship between middle.age personality trait and quality of life, extroversion, openness, affinity, and sincerity had a statistically significant positive effect and nerve had a significant negative effect at the 1st stage, satisfying the mediation condition. The results of this study suggest that social activities in the middle age has an effect on quality of life, but the level of the effect of leisure activities and selfdevelopment activities varies depending on middle.age personality type. People in the middle age experience socio.environmental or physical withdrawal and begin to have psychological isolation and a sense of crisis. In such a period, it may be the first step toward happiness that one has a vision and confidence for recognizing and rediscovering the present self according to his/her personality trait. Future research with more diverse job categories and age groups may produce more useful results. What is more, various types of studies on the middle age are required for the Korean society entering into a super aged society.

한자영(Cha-Young Han) 한국인체미용예술학회 2018 한국인체미용예술학회지 Vol.19 No.1

This study analyzed the significance and the sociocultural meaning of the appearance of the new middle age as a rising generation caused by the ageing population. For this purpose, the contents analysis of the newspaper articles related to the new middle age’s appearance and the semantic analysis of the appearance discourse in the contextual meaning were both used. The process in which significance arose were as follows. First, the new middle age were differentiated from the previous middle aged people by appearance and appearance management behavior. The new middle age have a higher level of education and a wider sociocultural experiences than those of the previous generation, but they emphasized the differentiation of the appearance in the discourse. Second, the new middle age were categorized as a new consumption group of the appearance-oriented lifestyle. So, appearance-seeking behavior is required in the new middle age. Third, the appearance discourse was idealizing the appearance of a successful middle aged star and have been persuaded that the pursuit of the ideal values is due to appearance-related consumption. So, the discourse of new middle age’s appearance was socially reconstructed through the differentiation of appearance with the previous middle age generation, categorization into the appearance–oriented lifestyle group, and idealization of the successful middle aged star appearance. Next, the implications of the discourses of the new middle age appearance were in the sociocultural context analyzed as follows. First, the new middle age have emerged as an important consumers of appearance-related consumption. There were shifting to the main consumer and the commercial ideology was maximized. Second, the young and charmingly symbolized appearance was a strategy for success and survival as acquired capital. In fact, appearance capital against aging can only be acquired by continuous effort and investment, so that the efforts to acquire it can be as a social oppression mechanism at aging age. Third, the appearance without heterogeneity with younger generations is used as a communication tool. And the new middle age operated it voluntarily. It can be interpreted as a generational characteristic with rationality and adaptability to change. However, it implied the function of the cultural mechanism.

Orthodontic treatment for middle-aged patients has become more commonplace with various reasons including improved socioeconomic status. Understanding of oral status and treatment modalities of middle-aged patients is mandatory for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning. This study investigated 100 consecutive patients aged 40s and 50s and 100 aged 20s who had been examined and diagnosed at the Department of Orthodontics, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Gender distribution showed female outnumbered male patients in young-aged adult patients, but middle-aged patients showed similar male and female distribution. 2. The major concern seeking orthodontic treatment was esthetics not only in young-aged but also in middle-aged adult patients, and a number of middle-aged patients were concerned about oral health as well. 3. Considerable number of middle-aged patients were referred by other dental specialties while young-aged adult patients were more self-motivated for orthodontic treatment. 4. Middle-aged adult patients had more missing teeth and periodontal disease than young-aged adults. 5. The most frequently-observed problem was dental spacing in middle-aged patients while dental crowding in young-aged adult patients. Middle-aged patients showed higher prevalence of deep overbite and overjet while most of young-aged adults presented opposite direction of problem in overbite and overjet. 6. Limited orthodontic treatment was required rather than comprehensive treatment in middle-aged patients, and the most common tooth moving area was anterior part of dentition in case of limited treatment. Need of interdisciplinary therapy with other dental specialties was more common in middle-aged patients. 7. Intervention of specific technique such as invisible TP, passive bracketing, passive wire bonding, and lingual orthodontics was more required in middle-aged patients. Considering that middle-aged patients have different characteristics than young-aged adults, the results of the present study suggest that different treatment modalities are required in middle-aged orthodontic patients in order to manage them properly and efficiently.

Purpose: A middle-aged crisis is a phenomenon in which an individual reaches the middle of his life and experiences emotional confusion such as the meaninglessness of life, emptiness, and helplessness, as well as doubts about the meaning of life and reality. Currently, a middle-aged man is in an important position in his career and home life, but he is facing a crisis of emotional turmoil and drifting through the middle of life. The purpose of this study was to clearly define the attributes of middle aged men’s crises through concept analysis. Methods: The concept analysis method described by Walker and Avant was used. The attributes of middle aged men’s crises, it’s critical attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents were identified. Model, borderline, and contrary cases were also proposed. In the final analysis, there were 35 articles in Korea and 22 articles in the field of 'middle-aged men crisis'. Results: The attributes of these crises were identified as aging anxiety, emotional emptiness, loss, alienation, and pressure. The antecedents were lack of social integration due to unemployment and retirement, marital discord, divorce or separation, workplace fluctuations and frustrations, hormonal changes, independence of children, aging of appearance, and child and parental support. Properties are identified by aging, emotional emptiness, loss of sense, feeling of isolation, and pressure. The consequences occurring as a results of crises in middle age were confirmed by depression, a family crisis, and overcoming crises. Conclusion: The crisis for a middle-aged man can be used as an indicator of subjective perception of his experience, this is a concept that can present a positive direction for middle-aged men to overcome the crisis. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop integrated intervention among multidisciplinary interventions that can enhance the quality of life of men who are suffering from a middle-aged crisis and measurement tools that include the multi-faceted attributes of men 's middle-aged crisis. In addition, it is necessary to reflect the possible attributes of nursing intervention which is required for middle-aged men in clinical field. 목적: 중년위기는 개인이 인생 중반에 이르러 삶의 의미와 자신의 실체에 대한 의문과 함께 삶의 무의미함과 공허함, 무기력과 같은 정서적 혼란을 겪는 현상이다. 현대 사회의 중년 남성은 직장생활과 가정생활에서 중요한 위치에 있으나 인생의 중반에 이르러 정서적 혼란과 방황을 겪는 위기를 맞이하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 중년 남성 위기에 대한 개념분석을 통해 그 속성을 명확하게 정의하고 중년 남성 위기 극복을 통한 삶의 질 향상을 위한 간호중재 개발의 기초자료를 마련하고자 함이다. 연구방법: Walker와 Avant의 개념 분석 절차를 사용하여 중년 남성 위기 개념이 문헌에서 어떻게 사용되고 있는 지 분석하였고, 논문 분석을 통해 속성 및 특성을 규명한 후 이러한 속성을 갖춘 모델사례, 경계사례, 반대사례 및 연관사례를 구성하였다. ‘middle-aged men crisis'를 주제어로 국내, 국외 문헌검색을 하였고, ‘middle -aged men crisis' 라는 용어로 연구된 문헌은 국내 35건, 국외 22건으로 총 57건이 최종 분석에 이용되었다. 결과: 중년 남성 위기의 선행요인은 실직, 퇴직으로 인한 사회적 통합 결여, 부부간의 불화, 이혼, 별거, 직장에서의 변동과 좌절, 가까운 친지나 주변인의 죽음, 호르몬 변화, 자녀들의 독립, 외모의 노화현상, 자녀와 노부모 부양으로 나타났다. 속성은 노화불안, 정서적 공허함, 상실감, 소외감, 중압감으로 확인되었으며 결과는 우울, 가족위기, 위기극복으로 확인되었다. 결론: 본 연구는 중년 남성 위기 개념분석을 통해 그 속성을 체계적으로 파악함으로써 중년 위기 극복을 위한 긍정적인 방향성을 제시할 수 있고, 중년 남성이 경험하는 주관적 인식의 지표로 활용될 수 있는 개념이다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 남성의 중년위기의 다면적 속성을 포함하는 측정도구와 중년위기를 겪고 있는 남성의 삶의 질을 증진시킬 수 있는 다학제간 통합적 중재를 개발하는 연구가 필요하다. 또한 현재 중년 남성에게 요구되는 간호학적 중재행위가 가능한 속성을 임상 현장에 반영해야 할 것이다.

근대기 일본 “중세(中世)문학”의 형상 창출 연구 -“일본문학사”와 “일본사”의 대조를 통해-

엄인경 한국일본근대학회 2013 일본근대학연구 Vol.0 No.40

본고는 ‘중세’나 ‘중세문학’을 둘러싸고 근대 국민국가 형성기부터 제국주의 시대에 이르기까지 ‘암흑’의 시대에서 ‘풍윤’의 시대로 가치가 전도되는 현상을 고찰한 것이다. 다시 말해 중세라는 시대나 중세문학에 대한 이미지 변화 사이에 내재된 문학사적, 시대적 배경이 무엇인지를 찾아 이러한 논리 파탄이 무엇을 의미하는지에 대해 파악하고자 한 것이다. 이는 1990년대 중반 이후 활발하게 논의되고 있는 일본문학사 기술과 일본문학의 정전(正典) 연구와 관련이 깊지만 이러한 연구는 문학사의 총론을 근대국민국가 비판이라는 문맥에 환원시키고 있는 경우가 대부분이며, 그 논의의 시기도 1890년에서 1900년대 초로 한정되어 있다. 또한 각론의 경우에는 현재 일반화된 일본 고전의 대표작들을 근대의 시대적 문맥 속에서 정전으로 인식하게 된 과정을 추적하는 경우가 대부분이었으므로 본 연구에서는 기존의 ‘일본문학사’나 ‘정전’ 연구의 현황과 문제점을 살펴본 다음 시대적 편중 현상을 뛰어 넘어 근대국민국가 형성기에서 패전에 이르기까지 대량으로 간행되었던 ‘일본문학사’와 ‘일본사’를 통해 ‘중세’와 ‘중세문학’의 형상이 어떻게 창출되고 변용되었는지를 파악했다. 이를 통해 ‘중세’및 ‘중세문학’ 이미지가 근대국민국가 형성기에 부정적이고 가치폄하적인 평가에서 1930,40년대 긍정적 인 입장으로 전환된 논리를 시대적 콘텍스트 속에서 도출함으로써 일본문학사의 논리 파탄과 그 요인을 규명해 보았다. ‘중세’, ‘중세문학’의 이미지의 변용에는 문학성 자체의 문제 보다는 1890년대와 1900년대 초 국민국가 형성기의 천황제 가족주의국가와 연동된 근대국민국가 이데올로기에서 오히려 일본이 동양의 전통문화의 계승자로서 일본문학의 연속성을 강조해야 하는 제국일본 문학의 재구축이라는 시대적 요청 때문이었고, 이로 인해 ‘일본문학사’가 가지고 있는 논리의 파탄과 근대국민국가의 모순을 내재한 일본의 중세문학사를 파악할 수 있었다. In the west, where the modern academic studies began, ``The Middle Ages`` has the opposite images of the brilliant and positive images. The Middle Ages, between the glorious ancient civilization and the Renaissance, has the images of the darkness, so the Middle Ages could be called the Dark Ages, and it could be also ``the Death`` Ages because the Renaissance means a revival. Under the influence of this western perception, the early publications of ``the History of Japanese Literature``, which was published briskly since the 1890s in Japan, shows that the Japanese middle ages also has the negative images as the Dark Ages in the history, academy, and literature. This negative and self-depreciative images of ``the Middle Ages`` and ``the Middle Ages Literature``, built in the formative period of the nation-state, however, are not consistent up to now. The shift of the perception of the Middle Ages was made not after war (after 1945) but from 1930s to 1940s when Japan`s militarism reached its climax and Japan was at the 15-year war. By this time, the images of ``The Middle Ages`` and ``The Middle Ages Literature`` was changed to the fairly positive viewpoint. In this thesis, to go over the existing disproportionate studies on ``The History of Japanese Literature`` and ``The Armistice``, I grasped how the images of ``The Middle Ages`` and ‘The Middle Ages Literature`` had created and changed through ``The History of Japanese Literature`` and ``The Japanese History`` published from the formative period of the nation-state to the defeat, and through this study, by understanding the logic of shifting the images of ``The Middle Ages`` and ``The Middle Ages Literature`` in the periodical context, I grasped how the logic of ``The History of Japanese Literature`` went into the rupture and what the causes were.

중장년 기술창업가의 창업 준비 유형 및 특성에 대한 연구

홍성표,김민희 한국벤처창업학회 2023 벤처창업연구 Vol.18 No.1

체계적인 창업 준비는 실패 가능성을 낮추고 시장성 있는 비즈니스 모델 수립을 가능하게 한다는 점에서 중장년 창업가에게 필수적이지만, 중장년의 창업준비를 위한 정책과 서비스는 충분히 활용되지 못하고 있다. 최근 중장년의 창업과 관련한 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있으나 창업준비는 대학생이나 예비창업가를 중심으로 연구되어, 실제 창업을 한 중장년 창업가의 다양한 창업준비 행태를 심층적으로 분석한 연구는 부족하였다. 이에, 이 연구에서는 중장년 창업가의 창업준비 유형을 도출하고, 창업준비 유형에 따른 창업성과의 차이를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 서울시 소재 업력 7년 미만 창업기업의 중장년 기술창업가 324명의 설문 데이터를 분석하였다. 중장년 기술창업가들의 창업준비는 보통 수준으로 창업 준비 기간의 충분성이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 창업교육을 통한 준비 수준이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 잠재프로파일 분석 결과 중장년 기술창업가들의 창업 준비 유형은 ‘전반적 부족형’, ‘창업교육 소홀형’, ‘포괄적 준비형’의 3개 집단으로 나타났다. 창업만족도, 창업역량, 실패 두려움, 창업서비스 접근성, 중장년 특화 지원 필요성에 대한 집단 별 차이 분석을 실시한 결과, 전반적 부족형에 비해 창업교육 소홀형과 포괄적 준비형의 창업만족도, 창업역량, 창업서비스 접근성이 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타으며, 실패두려움의 경우 포괄적 준비형이 전반적 부족형과 창업교육 소홀형보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 중장년 창업 서비스 접근성은 전반적 부족형이 타 집단보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮게 나타났고, 중장년 특화 창업지원의 필요성은 모든 유형에서 높게 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 중장년의 체계적인 창업준비 지원을 위한 정책적 시사점은 첫째, 중장년층의 창업준비 수준을 향상할 수 있는 다양한 지원사업 확대 및 중장년 창업가의 창업준비 수준에 따른 유형별 지원 제공, 둘째, 중장년 창업지원 서비스에 대한 홍보와 접근성 강화, 셋째, 청년 창업가와 다른 중장년의 특성을 반영한 중장년 창업가 특화 교육 제공, 넷째, 창업교육을 포함한 창업준비의 여러 요인을 복합적으로 고려한 중장년 창업지원 제공 등으로 제시하였다. Careful preparation for a start-up can lower the risk of failure and create a successful business model. However, there are still challenges for middle-aged entrepreneurs, as start-up services and policies are often not readily accessible or fully utilized. Despite active research on middle-aged start-ups, previous studies have not delved deeply into the demographics of start-up preparation and various preparation behaviors. In response to this, a study was conducted to identify which start-up support services middle-aged entrepreneurs use, and how start-up preparation can be classified based on this. Data from 324 middle-aged tech start-up owners, based in Seoul and who started their businesses within the past 7 years, was collected and analyzed. The results showed that middle-aged entrepreneurs had moderate start-up preparation, with the greatest focus on the preparation period and the least focus on start-up education. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three groups of start-up preparation types among middle-aged entrepreneurs: "Overall Tribal Type," "Lack of Start-up Education Type," and "Comprehensive Preparation Type." BCH was performed on start-up satisfaction, start-up competence, fear of failure, access to start-up services, and support needs for middle-aged entrepreneurs based on the preparation type. The results showed that "Overall Tribal Type" had statistically lower start-up satisfaction, competence, and service accessibility compared to the other groups. Meanwhile, "Comprehensive Preparation Type" had a statistically lower fear of failure than the other types. "Overall Tribal Type" also had lower accessibility to middle-aged start-up services. All types had a high recognition of the need for support for specialized middle-aged start-ups. The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive support for middle-aged entrepreneurs. This could include expanding support projects to enhance their level of preparation, providing customized support based on their level of preparation, and improving the visibility and accessibility of start-up support services for middle-aged individuals. Additionally, specialized education that addresses the characteristics of middle-aged individuals should be provided.
