  • 這項研究旨在探索美的可辨識性,尤其是不同國家的美,是否有一種方法可以準確地進行識別。該研究的靈感來自日常生活的觀察和經驗,人們很容易就指出韓國女生及其特徵。但是在談到台灣女生時,卻沒有辦法說出台灣女生的風格和特徵,和韓國相比,說法也不具有一致性。換句話說,台灣的美麗可辨識性顯然低於韓國。
    因此,這項研究稱這種差異為美麗的可識別性。本研究旨在從文化方面到產業方面來釐清和解釋這樣的一個現象。研究為什麼韓國可以在全世界創造出這麼成功的美麗可識別性。基於這項觀察,本研究的目的就是在對這種審美的可辨識性差異提出解釋。本研究理解這個現象的理論架構,採取文化緊密度理論(cultural tightness theory)、產業結構的影響和消費文化理論(consumption culture theory) ,文化的緊密度可預測具有緊縮的文化規範,將有更一致的審美規範。本研究進一步提出文化規範將會預測消費文化,也就是具體強勢的文化規範將會進一步塑造集中的消費文化。此外,本研究也探討娛樂、時尚產業的發展,也將會有助於塑造美的可辨識度。因此主要的理論架構為在具有較高的文化規範以及消費文化,再加上政府產業策略的推動, 將影響可辨識度的塑造,進而影響在國際間以及產業市場上的品牌塑造。這項研究將同時進行質性和量性研究,包括案例研究,檔案研究,問卷調查,專家深度訪談以收集更全面的數據。本研究基於上述的理論形成了三個假設,透過研究後,三個假設都被證實。因此本研究指出美麗的可辨識性塑造和文化緊密度、產業的發展策略及消費文化的集中與否有密切相關。該研究的預期結果是了解造成不同程度的美容可識別性的原因,以及它的利與弊。
    期望在了解後,本研究可以幫助台灣的美妝時尚產業更了解台灣自身的審美觀和在國家推動軟實力政策時能有更多不同的啟發。

    This research aims to explore the identifiability of beauty which refers to recognizable and easiness to categorize the beauty to their countries, especially significant in the beauty evaluation of different countries. For example, to accurately identify, such as movie stars or celebrities or the beauty model that is recognized as generally accepted beauty standards. It is easy to point out Korean beauty and its characteristics. However, when it comes to Taiwanese beauties and girls, there are no consistent demonstrations of the beautiful characteristics and style. Better understand why and how the different levels of beauty identifiability should advance the pursuit of beauty in culture and business. To this end, this study address to explore and explain identifiability of beauty.
    Drawing on literature review, this study proposes the theoretical framework of this phenomenon adopting cultural tightness theory and consumer culture theory, this study hypothesizes for tightening cultural norms, higher beauty norms consensus would be more identifiable. Moreover, cultural norms will predict consumer culture, that is, specific and strong cultural norms will further shape aesthetic consumer culture. In addition, this study also explores the government's cultural industry strategy to promote aesthetics, which will also help shape the identifiability of beauty. This study then develops mixed research to empirical verify the main hypotheses which are clear cultural norms and consumer culture, coupled with the promotion of government industrial strategies would enhance affect the identifiability of beauty.
    This research conducted using both qualitative and quantitative research including case studies, archive research, surveys, and in-depth interview to gather more comprehensive data for converging validation. 221 people was surveyed, and 8 experts were interviewed. The results verified both main propositions, that is cultural tightness and the positive promotion of the industrial strategies correlate with the degree of shaping beauty identifiability. In addition, the findings show that stigmatization of Taiwan and lack of aesthetic. The proposed new idea of beauty identifiability and explanation model of factors that shape the beauty identifiability and suggests that co-evolution of beauty identifiability and entertainment industries would advance both theories of beauty and business development The implications for future development are discussed.
