Abstract

This study investigated the correlations of the AIDS knowledge, self-esteem, sense of control, optimistic bias toward AIDS, and condom use in the Chinese male college students. A cross-sectional survey was used, and 307 male students were recruited from anonymous universities in cities of two provinces in China. The data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Pearson's correlations. The Chinese male college students had an optimistic bias toward AIDS. The score of AIDS knowledge was 73%, and the self-esteem and sense of control scores were all rated higher than the median. The difference among groups according to grade and age were statistically significant in this study. The self-esteem, sense of control, and optimistic bias toward AIDS showed significant positive correlations, but AIDS knowledge, optimistic bias, and condom use have no correlations. The studies that examine psychological variables with condom use among various groups should be followed in the Chinese context.

본 연구는 중국 남자 대학생들의 에이즈 지식, 자아존중감, 자기통제감, 에이즈에 대한 낙관적 편견, 콘돔 사용의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 중국 두 개 성(省) 도시의 종합대학교의 1학년부터 4학년에 재학 중인 남학생 307명을 편의표집하여 빈도분석과 기술통계량, ANOVA, Pearson 상관관계로 분석하였다. 중국 남자 대학생들의 에이즈 감염에 대한 낙관적 편견이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 에이즈 지식 점수는 73점이었다. 자아존중감, 자기통제감 점수도 각각 중간값 보다 높게 나타났다. 학년과 연령에 따른 집단 간 분석에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구에서 자아존중감, 자기통제감, 에이즈에 대한 낙관적 편견은 정적 상관관계를 보였고, 에이즈 지식, 낙관적 편견, 콘돔 사용의 상관관계는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 차후 중국 문화의 맥락 안에서 콘돔 사용에 영향을 미치는 심리적 변수에 대한 다양한 집단의 반복 연구가 필요하다.
