Clothing is one of the most essential things that human bodies need for the multipurpose reasons. Such clothing has been recognized as the high involvement product for many years, resulting to one of the very interesting subjects in consumer research. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of clothing involvement on clothing store preference and clothing benefits sought for African-American female college students. This study demonstrates that African-American female college students are generally satisfied with the current ready-to-wear (RTW) clothing. To purchase such RTW clothing, internet store is revealed as one of very exciting shopping centers. Instead, catalog or mail ordering does not strongly attract to the African-American female college consumers. Compared to other involvement groups, high clothing involvement consumers are actively seeking for the fashion image, one of the factors in clothing benefits sought, as well as actively shopping at department store, specialty stores, outlet stores, and internet in Types of Stores. Interestingly, low involvement consumers are generally less interested in store preference or clothing benefits sought than other involvement groups except for the camouflage benefits.

This research project examined whether African American female students are being targeted with unfair treatment, disciplinary actions, and cultural misunderstandings. We explored the social, cultural, and emotional factors associated with being from an African American background and how it impacts their feelings and thoughts about school. The study involved African American female students in grades 9-12 in an urban Early College high school and a Traditional high school. The results indicated that African American female students believed they were treated as older and sexually more mature than Caucasian female students. The suspension and disciplinary rates of the African American female students were abnormally higher than the Caucasian female students in the Traditional High School as compared to students in the Early College.
