Abstract

The purpose of this study is to stereotype the subjective perception of multicultural societies of university students and to identify the characteristics and differences by types. To this end, the Q methodology was utilized and 31 college students were selected. According to the analysis, there were four types of university students' perception on multicultural societies. Type 1 was an 'aggressive acceptance' which aggressively and positively embraces multicultures. Type 2 was a 'its national first priority', which put the Korean first before immigrants. Type 3 was 'reasonable acceptance' that accepts multiculturalism within the reasonable and legal bounds. Type 4 was 'limited permission' which agrees to accept immigrants restrictively. Based on the results of this study, thought-provoking ways needed to realize multicultural societies were explored.

본 연구는 대학생들의 다문화 사회에 대한 주관적 인식을 유형화하고, 유형별 특성과 차이점을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 Q방법론을 활용하였으며, 대학생 31명을 연구대상으로 선정하여 조사를 실시하였다. 분석결과, 대학생들의 다문화 사회에 대한 인식유형은 네 가지로 도출되었다. 1유형은 '적극적 수용형' 으로 다문화 사회에 대해 긍정적, 적극적으로 수용하는 유형이며, 2유형은 '자국민 우선형'으로 이주민보다는 우리나라 국민을 우선시하는 유형으로 나타났다. 3유형은 '합리적 수용형'으로 합리적, 합법적인 범위 내에서 다문화를 수용하며, 4유형은 '제한적 수용형'으로 이주민을 제한적으로 받아들여야 한다고 인식하는 유형이다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로, 다문화 사회의 구현에 필요한 시사점을 도출하였다.
