This study investigated the structure of wearers' affective states generated by the attire worn during job interviews. From a group of adjectives generated by 367 female college students describing their affective states after viewing photographs of people wearing appropriate and inappropriate attire for job interviews, 82 affective terms were selected. These affective terms were divided into several groups based on their meaning-similarities by 100 female college students, and the degrees of these similarities were converted to a proximity matrix. Cluster analyses by the Ward Method resulted in a dendrogram, and the hierarchical clustering scheme was examined. Then the hypothesis, based on the Kawakita Jirou (KJ) method, was verified. The results are as follows : 1) It was verified that the basic dimension of attire-generated affective states consisted of positive and negative affects. 2) Affective states generated by the attire worn during job interviews were classified into nine categories. Namely, the positive affective states were subdivided into six categories : “refreshed, ” “satisfactory, ” “aspired, ” “relieved, ” “tense” and “complete”; whereas the negative affective states were subdivided into three categories : “depressed, ” “embarrassed” and “anxious with an escapism tendency.” 3) According to the incidence of affective terms, many positive affective terms fell under the categories of “tense” and “complete, ” whereas many negative affective terms fell under “embar-rassed.”
