Abstract

Development of a theoretical framework for understanding linkages between identity and dress depends on careful selection and definition of terms and development of a broad, holistic view of Social Aspects of Dress. A comprehensive definition of dress includes both body modifications and supplements to the body. Properties of these modifications and supplements can be cross-classified with sensory responses they evoke. Because dress functions as an effective means of communication during social interaction, it influences peoples' establishing identities of themselves and others. An individual's self incorporates identities based on assigned and achieved positions within social structures, especially those that organize kinship, economic, religious, and political activities. Identities communicated by dress are also influenced by technology and society-wide moral and aesthetic standards for dress. Specific types and properties of dress that communicate identity may change through time in response to economic, demographic, and other societal changes.

Fitting in with one's social group and with society at large requires adopting dress and appearance that correspond to prevailing social norms.
“Scholars of fashion note that fitting in with one’s social group and with society at large requires adopting dress and appearance that correspond to prevailing social norms [56].”
From When the times get tough the toughs get funny: Means by which humor buffers against death anxiety emerged during COVID-19 outbreak (2022) · cites this paper as [56]
In “The Social Perspective” (page unavailable), the paper says dress that matches others’ expectations can lead to satisfactory social interaction, while a mismatch may make interaction difficult; it gives the example of expected interview attire. This supports the role of dress norms in social acceptance, but not the stronger claim that fitting in with a group or society at large requires conforming to prevailing norms in all cases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
