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.

Usi delle perle in una societa' africana: i Kalabari della Nigeria. Una Societa locale o globalizzata?
(Grafo Edizioni, 1996) Eicher, Joanne B.
The Kalabari people of Nigeria live in the Niger Delta, four degrees above the equator. For several hundred years they have traded textiles and other artifacts across the Sahara and by sea. They use these imported items as visible markers to differentiate them from other Nigerian ethnic groups. Within Kalabari society, textiles also distinguish one lineage group from another, and are often described as "belonging" specifically to a lineage. In addition to textiles, necklaces, particularly Italian coral, canes, and beads in hats, are part of men's and women's ensembles relating to hierarchies of age and social positions within each gender. One specific pillbox style hat, worn by several women in the Jackreece lineage is decorated with many large (3-4 inches long) and fragile, blown-glass lace beads, claimed to be of Venetian origin and dating back to the late 1800s (Francis 1994: 6). Members of the Jackreece lineage on the Kalabari island of Bugma, give an account about the origin and importance of this bead. The account indicates the role of a material artifact in reinforcing lineage prestige and prominence. This beads links the Venetian islands with those of the Kalabari and speak to the issue of the intersection of global and local worlds.

Analysis of historic and contemporary dress: An African example
(American Home Economics Association, 1980) Wuss, B.; Eicher, J.B.
A method for analyzing dress was modeled after methods for analyzing languages. The primary data were 607 photographs of members of an extended family of Yoruba people in Nigeria. The photographs, taken between 1900 and 1974, were divided into three groups corresponding to political periods within the time span. Steps in analyzing the data were (1) list all items worn ; (2) calculate frequency of appearance of each item ; (3) identify associations made with items worn most frequently, i.e., male/female, Western /indigenous; (4) within the three time periods, determine models related to associations found in step 3 ; (5) identify items which appear as alternates or additions to model items ; (6) develop rules of dress relating social roles and statuses of individuals to use of particular forms of dress. Although the method was applied to studying dress of a non-Western population, the techniques have potential for comparative studies of the dress of any culture.
