Abstract

In this study, We examined the dual path model in which entitlement rage and sexual dominance on the one of two pathway, sexual permissiveness and sexual objectification on another pathway mediated the relation between narcissism and sexual aggression. In addition, it was investigated whether alcohol use and rape myths acceptance have moderating effects in the pathways from sexual dominance and sexual objectification to sexual aggression on our path model. Data from 368 male college students in four university in Chungcheong province were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results in structural equation modeling exhibited that narcissism affected sexual aggression through mediating effects of entitlement rage and sexual dominance, and through mediating effects of sexual permissiveness and sexual objectification. Furthermore, alcohol use and rape myths acceptance only moderated the relation between sexual dominance and sexual aggression on our model. We discussed the meaning of results and the implications for further study.

본 연구는 자기애와 성폭력의 관계에서 경로모형을 설정하고 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 자기애가 특권 분노에 영향을 미치고 특권 분노가 성적 지배에 영향을 미쳐 성폭력으로 연결되는 경로와, 자기애가 허용적 성태도에 영향을 미치고 허용적 성태도가 성적 대상화에 영향을 미쳐 성폭력으로 연결되는 경로로 구성된 이중 경로모형을 설정하였다. 또한 각 경로의 2차 매개변인인 성적 지배와 성적 대상화가 성폭력에 영향을 미치는 경로에서 알콜사용과 강간통념수용의 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 모형적합성과 조절효과 검증을 위해, 충청지역 4개 대학교에서 수집한 368명의 질문지 자료를 사용하여 구조방정식 모형분석을 하였다. 모형검증 결과, 다양한 대안모형과 적합도 비교에서 1, 2차 매개변인들이 완전 매개하는 연구모형이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연구모형의 성적 지배가 성폭력에 영향을 미치는 경로에서, 성적 지배동기가 높으면 알콜사용 수준이 높을 때 또는 강간통념수용 수준이 높을 때 성폭력이 대폭 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 논의에서는 본 연구 결과의 시사점 및 제언이 기술되었다.
