Abstract
The purposes of this study was to examine the effects of demographics, environmental attitude, environmental behavior, exposure to environmental information, and motives of clothing disposition on clothing disposal behavior. Data were obtained from questionnaires filled out by 217 women in Taegu and were analyzed by utilizing factor analysis, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. The results indicated that clothing disposal behavior was influenced by predicted variables such as education, exposure to environmental information, environmental attitude, and environmental behavior. Among predicted variables, the environmental attitude was the most important variable affecting clothing disposal behaivor. However, the proportion of variation in clothing disposal behavior that was explained by predicted variables was relatively low.
