Abstract

This study examined the sexual behaviors, such as sexual experience, sexual attitudes, sexual knowledge of female university students, and to identify the factors that affect sexual assertiveness and to encourage female university students to improve the level of sexual assertiveness. The subjects were 398 single, female students (undergraduate and graduate) from a university in Seoul. The research tool was a self-administered questionnaire. The data obtained was analyzed using a t-test and ANOVA, and regression analysis on SAS 9.3. The sexual intercourse experience rates showed a positive relation with higher age, having religion, more allowance. The sex knowledge showed a positive relation with higher age, major related humanities or science & technology, and more allowance, and sex attitudes had a significantly positive relation with higher age, major related humanities, no religion, and more allowances. The factors affecting sexual assertiveness were sexual attitudes and lower age. Overall, education programs should be developed to encourage sexual assertiveness and sexual attitudes from elementary school.

본 연구는 서울의 한 대학교 여대생들의 성경험 수준, 성 태도, 성 지식 등 성행태를 파악하고, 성적자기주장에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여, 여대생들의 성적인 자기주장을 높이고자 하는 데 있어 동기를 부여함을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울의 일개 대학교에 재학 중인 결혼 경험이 없는 여학생(학부, 대학원)이다. 본 연구의 도구는 자기 기입식으로 구성된 설문지이며, 수집된 자료는 통계패키지 SAS 9.3을 이용하여 응답자의 특성별 독립변수들의 차이검정을 실시하였으며, 성적자기주장에 대한 영향 요인을 알아보기 위해 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 응답자의 특성별 성경험, 성지식, 성태도 차이 검정 결과, 성경험은 연령이 많을수록, 종교가 있는 경우, 한 달 용돈이 많을수록 성경험 수준이 높았고, 성지식은 연령이 많을수록, 인문계열 또는 이공계열일수록, 한 달 용돈이 많을수록 높았다. 성 태도는 연령이 많을수록, 인문계열에서, 종교가 없을 경우, 한 달 용돈이 많을수록 더 개방적인 것으로 나타났다. 성적자기주장에 미치는 요인에 대해 회귀분석을 실시한 결과에서는 연령이 낮을수록 자신의 성적자기주장의 정도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 성적자기주장이 연령이 낮을수록 높다는 점을 감안할 때, 성지식을 높이기 위해서는 성 정체가 이미 확립된 대학생 시기가 아닌, 실제 성경험이 시작되기 전인 저학년부터 교육을 통하여 성지식을 높이도록 해야 할 것이다.
