The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between clothing and person perception in view of the cognitive social psychology.
To attain the purpose, I have review the literature which deals with the relationship in terms of main stream of person perception theory which includes gestalt psychological approach, implicit personality theory, behaviorism scientific approach, attribution theory. I have had deep concern in what has been discussed in the past researches which have related person perception to the clothing area.
As a result of the study, I have made the recommendations for further researches as follows.
First, it is desirable that we should make a study on the relationship between person perception and clothing area on the basis of attribution theory.
Second, we need a multidimensional approaches including symbolic meanings of clothing cues, wearer, perceiver, and situational factors.
Third, we need more accurate instruments and measurements which can evaluate the relationship between clothing and person perception.
