Abstract

This study dealt with self-concept and self-esteem as predicting variables to clothing preferences: a correlational inquiry. The primary goal of the study was to determine the level of self-concept, self-esteem and clothing preferences in terms of their respective indicators, the significant difference between self-concept, self-esteem, and clothing preferences, and what domains of self-concept and self-esteem substantially influence clothing preferences. Also, this study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 202 respondents among Grade 11 students in Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The average weighted mean, Pearson R, and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Along with this, results showed a high level of self-concept among Grade 11 students in terms of contentment and worthiness, attractiveness and approval by others, and determinism and significance. Likewise, results showed a high level of self-esteem among Grade 11 students regarding self-worth, trust, and criticism. Moreover, the results showed a high level of clothing preferences in terms of self as structure, communication of self to others, response to judgment of others, self-esteem, and body image and cathexis. In addition, there was a high correlation, and a significant relationship between self-concept and clothing preferences. There was also a high correlation and significant relationship between self-esteem and clothing preferences. Also, all domains of self-concept, self-esteem, and clothing preferences showed high ratings. Additionally, the multiple regression analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between self-concept and clothing preferences, as well as self-esteem and clothing preferences. Hence, this led to the rejection of the null hypothesis. In conclusion, the recommendation of our study suggest that Gender and Development may promote a program that helps those who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community to express their identity through clothing.
