Depression: Relationships to Clothing and Appearance Self-Concept.

Dubler, Mary Lynn Johnson; Gurel, Lois M.

Home Economics Research Journal, v13 n1 p21-26 Sep 1984

Using a mood scale, a measure of the intensity of depression, and ideal and perceived clothing and appearance self-concept scales, researchers collected data from two groups of women over a 28-day time span. One conclusion was that clothing may be used in an attempt to boost self-concept and mood. (JB)
