    Adolescent Dress, Part II: A Qualitative Study of Suburban High School Students
    (Pryczak Publishers, reprinted with permission from Adolescence 26(10):679-686. Libra Publishers, inc., 1994) Eicher, Joanne B.; Baizerman, Suzanne; Michelman, John
    Through observation and interviews of high school students, the role of dress in a non-psychiatric population was explored in order to provide data complimentary to the first phase of a larger research project. Adolescent dress was examined in relation to three dimensions of the self: the public, private and secret self. Due to the age of subjects and the length of contact with the interviewer, results provided most information about the public self, particularly descriptions of social types -- categories based on appearance and behavior. These types included a modal [sic], or "average," type and more extreme types appeared to offer valuable reference points for "average" adolescents in the development of their individual identities.

    A Longitudinal analysis of popularity, group membership and dress.
    (American Home Economics Association, 1970-04) Kelley, K.A.; Eicher, J.B.
    Although sociometric studies are plentiful, the sociometric research reported in this paper is unusual in that one high school class was studied for four consecutive years. This report includes the four-year findings of a longitudinal study of the influence of clothing on social acceptance. Two articles previously published in the Journal and referenced to in this paper reported findings in the ninth- and twelfth-grades separately.
