Abstract

This study examined the gender role identity within the Korean context with particular focus on how the changes within Korean society may have impacted on the gender role identities of middle-aged men. This research adapting Q methodology created a sampling distribution of P with 40 middle-aged men aged between 40-59 years old. Each of 40 Q samples were placed in a forced distribution of 9 scales. Secondary analysis of the results was then conducted by principal component factor analysis using the QUANL PC program. Middle-aged men are likely to have traditional masculinity and newly developed femininity, such as caring for others and sensitivity. This means that a consideration of these characteristics needs to understand the gender role identity of middle-aged men.

중년기는 가정과 사회에서 중추적인 역할수행 시기인 동시에 신체, 심리, 사회적으로 많은 변화와 문제를 안고 있는 시기이다. 성역할정체감은 개인의 적응에 영향을 미치는 요소가 되므로, 여러 가지 스트레스 상황에 직면해 있는 중년기 남성 40명을 대상으로 인간의 주관성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 Q방법론을 이용하여 성역할정체감의 유형과 유형별 특성을 확인하였다. 수집된 자료는 QUANL에 의한 주인자분석법으로 처리하였다. 중년기 남성의 성역할정체감은 '온정과묵형', '파워소신형', '온정감성형'의 세 가지 유형으로 확인되었다. 중년기 남성의 성역할정체감은 전통적인 남성상이라고 할 수 있는 과묵함과 소신과 함께, 시대적 변화와 발달 단계적 측면이 반영되어 타인에 대한 배려, 여유 및 감성을 보이는 여성성도 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성을 고려하여 중년기 남성 대상자를 이해할 필요가 있다.
