“…Equally significant, in creating "a visible manifestation of the civilised state of being, of cultural superiority" (Baizerman et al, 2008, p. 124), and as a second skin, clothing expresses a collective second self (Basile, 2011). Reflecting social identity (Batten, 2010), it distinguishes between us and others, as is evident in the case of a school uniform (Johnson et al, 2014). It is also a sign of social class (F. Ma et al, 2012), used to announce social status, authority, and wealth.…”

“…People allocate their budget on clothes when they prepare for certain events and social gatherings [40][41][42]. This finding implies that the purpose of clothing expenses is likely to refresh the mental condition of elderly people because clothing expenses are associated with social desire [43,44]. Indeed, Park et al [4] alleged that minimizing isolation plays an important role in improving life.…”

The proportion of elderly individuals has been increasing in Korea. Under this condition, it is essential to understand the behavioral characteristics of elderly individuals to build adequate policies. The purpose of this research was to investigate the determinants of quality of life for Korean senior citizens, specifically, their subjective health and their regular medical, housing, and clothing expenditures. Data were collected from a Korean senior citizen research panel, and the study period was 2018–2020. Multiple linear panel regression analyses were conducted for the analysis of panel data, which includes ordinary least squares, random effects, and fixed effects. In the results, quality of life for older Korean adults was positively affected by subjective health and clothing expenditures. However, quality of life was negatively influenced by medical and housing spending. The results of this work could offer information for building policies for better senior welfare.

“…There have been numerous studies of permanent body modifications, such as circumcision (Bernat 2009; Thiessen 2011); tattooing (Huehnergard & Liebowitz 2013; Jacobs 2014a; Fox 2019); and piercing (Malul 2007; Jacobs 2014b). Scholars have also recognized the significance of temporary dress practices involving hair (Galpaz‐Feller 2005; Niditch 2008) and clothing (Huddlestun 2002; Kim 2004; Neufeld 2005; Bender 2008; Batten 2010; Cras 2011; Staubli 2012; Fox 2013; Liebermann 2020). The relationship between dress and gender in the Hebrew Bible has come to the fore in studies on the prohibition of cross‐dressing (Fox 2009; Vedele 2008; Lipka 2018); male‐specific clothing (Low 2011; Rooke 2009); and female‐specific dress (Kersken 2008; Stavrakopoulou 2013; Quick 2019a, 2019b).…”

Descriptions of clothing and body modification in the Hebrew Bible often communicate information about the wearers' identities, emotions, and changes of status. Dress studies is an interdisciplinary pursuit that has expanded greatly since the 1980s as part of a wider academic recognition that the human body is a primary site of cultural construction. Hebrew Bible scholars have increasingly recognized the value of this approach with regard to biblical texts and continue to explore its multifaceted dimensions. The studies to date include examinations of permanent body modifications in the Hebrew Bible: circumcision, scarification, tattooing, and piercing. Scholars have also analyzed temporary body modifications, such as styling or cutting the hair and applying cosmetics. Additionally, there are studies of the supplements added to the body, most notably clothing and jewelry. When examined in their social context, biblical descriptions of clothing and body modification reveal important information about the figures involved, the development of a narrative, and the ideologies of biblical writers.
