This study aims to examine the effect of secondary school students' interest in fashion and school uniforms on mending and economic loss. For the purpose, this study conducted interviews with grade 2 students in a total of six coeducation secondary schools in Seoul, Gyeongki and Gwangju using a question naire. The survey period ranged from December 15 2008 to December 24 2008 and a total of 1196 were used for a final analysis. To demonstrate construct validity of the questionnaire used for this study, a factorial analysis was conducted and to demonstrate the validity of each item involved in interest in fashion and school uniforms, a factor analysis was conducted. This study extracted factors as Principal Components Analysis and used Varimax for orthogonal rotation analysis. To measure confidence, it used Cronbach's test to test item internal consistency. For data analysis, it used SPSS WIN 12.0 and for hypothesis analysis, frequency analysis, cross analysis, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were conducted. For posterior analysis, it used Sheffe test. To identify what factors influence mending of school uniforms, it conducted a logistic regression analysis and used a progressive-phase Wald test. Factors involved in interest in fashion and school uniforms are combined into four sub-factors: being fashionable of school uniforms for factor 1, interest in fashion for factor 2, exhibition of school uniforms for factor 3 and satisfaction in school uniforms for factor 4. And 61.389% of fashion and school uniform scales are accounted for by four sub-factors. The results of the validity analysis are presented as follows: First, this study compared difference between sub-factors of general characteristics, and interest in fashion and school uniforms involved in mending and found that being fashionable of school uniforms has statistical significance according to regions and the average in Seoul and Gyeongki was higher than that of Gwangju. According to types of schools, being fashionable of school uniforms, interest in fashion, exhibition and satisfaction showed statistical significance and the average of boys' secondary schools was higher than that of other types of schools. According to each school, being fashionable of school uniforms, interest in fashion, exhibition and satisfaction showed statistical significance and the average of H boys' secondary school in Seoul/Gyeonggki was higher. And according to gender, being fashionable of school uniforms, interest in fashion, exhibition and satisfaction showed statistical significance and the average of boy students was higher than that of girl students. It indicates that boys students showed more interest in school uniforms than girls students and students in Seoul/Gyeonggki had more interest in them. According to Feature 1 of school uniforms (tailored/ready-made), only satisfaction had statistical significance and the average of tailored uniforms was higher than ready-made ones. According to Feature 2 of school uniforms(used/new), being fashionable of school uniforms, interest in fashion, exhibition and satisfaction showed statistical significance, but as the number of the students who answered they had used uniforms was much less than those who answered they had new ones, it is hard to consider it as exact. According to mending of school uniforms, being fashionable of school uniforms, interest in fashion, exhibition and satisfaction showed statistical significance, and the average of the students who had no experiences of mending uniforms was higher than that of those who had experiences of mending. Second, this study examined the effect of sub-factors of interest in fashion and school uniforms on mending and found that only being fashionable and interest had an effect on it. Based on the results above, this study suggests that the following variable designs should be used to prevent deformation in original design of school uniforms due to students' desire to mend uniforms to express their characters: 1. Schools uniforms should have the same design with different patterns and colors. 2. Students should be allowed to select one of several different designs with the same school symbols. 3. Students should make a decision to select different details on the original designs. It is considered that the plans above will somewhat help students cultural desires satisfied somewhat and contribute to decrease of financial loss of parents and resolution of conflicts between schools and students.
