Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of gender equality consciousness on view of marriage and children in university students. Research tools used questionnaires to understand the level of gender equality consciousness, view on marriage and children. Participants were 205 university students in S city and analysis by frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression using SPSS 28.0 program. The gender equality consciousness appeared as an average of 4.23 points and female students were higher than male students. Gender equality consciousness was negatively correlated with view on marriage and children. Gender equality consciousness in home living life area affected the views on marriage and children. This means that the higher than the higher the sense of gender equality in home living life area, the view on marriage and children was more liberal. To form a positive view of marriage and children of university students, balanced education programs between men and women for gender equality are needed.

본 연구는 대학생의 양성평등의식이 결혼관과 자녀관에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 설문지를 이용하여 남녀평등의식, 결혼관, 자녀관에 대한 인식 수준을 파악하였다. 연구를 위한 조사는 S시의 대학생 205명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 28.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, one-way ANOVA, 피어슨 상관계수, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 대학생의 양성평등의식 수준은 평균 4.23점으로 나타났으며 여학생이 남학생보다 높게 나타났다. 대학생의 양성평등의식은 결혼관, 자녀관과 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 양성평등의식의 하위영역 중 가정생활 영역에서 결혼관과 자녀관에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 가정생활 영역의 양성평등의식이 높을수록 결혼관에 대하여 개방적이었으며 자녀가 필요하다는 인식은 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 대학생의 긍정적인 결혼관 및 자녀관을 형성시키기 위하여, 남녀간의 균형잡힌 양성평등의식을 향상시키기 위한 교육프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다.
