Relationship between Skills Acquisition Level of Clothing Life in Home Economics and Behavior of Fast Fashion Consumption for Undergraduate Students

大学生334人を対象にファストファッション消費行動についてアンケート調査を行った。衣生活領域に関する技術習得度を問うと、既習事項である汚れた衣服の手入れや生地素材による使い分けができない者が多かった。技術習得度が低い者は衣服やサスティナブルファッションへの関心が有意に低く、破れた衣服を修理できずに、燃えるゴミとして処分する傾向が見られた。このような背景が、安価なファストファッションの消費につながっていると予想された。家庭科の学びを振り返り、技能技術の定着や自らの衣生活を見直す機会が必要である。
A questionnaire survey on the behavior of fast fashion consumption was administered to 334 undergraduate students. Regarding their skill acquisition level in learning about the clothing lifecycle, many could not master preliminaries, such as how to care for dirty clothes and how to use clothing materials. Those with lower skill acquisition were significantly less interested in sustainable fashion, tending to dispose of damaged clothing as burnable garbage without attempting any repair. This behavior was expected to lead to students consuming cheap fast fashion. Students need opportunities to reflect on home economics learning, establish skills and techniques, and review their clothing habits.
