Abstract

The purpose of this study is a descriptive research study to understand the relationship between sexual attitude, sexual knowledge and gender sensitivity of general college students, and to analyze the effect on gender sensitivity. Participants included 139 general college students. Data collection was conducted through self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Schffe test for multiple comparisons. The average score of the general college students sexual knowledge was 22.73 out of 38 points, and their sexual attitudes scored 2.92 out of 5points. The average score of gender sensitivity was 2.03 out of 5points. As a result of the study, gender sensitivity was positively correlated with sexual attitude (r=.201, p=.018), and the factors affecting gender sensitivity of general college students were sexual attitude (𝛽=.196, p=.021), and the explanatory power of these factors was 34.0%. Based on the results of this study, it is thought that it is necessary to development of a program that can establish a correct sexual attitude in order to increase the gender sensitivity of general college students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 성지식, 성태도와 성인지 감수성과의 관계를 확인하고, 성인지 감수성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 연구이다. 연구 대상자는 139명의 일반 대학생으로 자가 보고 설문지를 통해 수집된 자료는 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA 및 Schffe test로 분석하였다. 일반 대학생의 성지식 평균은 38점 만점에 22.73점이었고, 성태도는 5점 만점에 2.92점이었다. 성인지 감수성은 평균 5점 만점에 2.03점이었다. 연구 결과, 성인지 감수성은 성태도와 양의 상관관계가 있었으며(r=.201, p=.018), 일반 대학생의 성인지 감수성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성태도(𝛽=.196, p=.021)로 나타났으며, 설명력은 34.0%였다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 일반 대학생의 성인지 감수성을 높이기 위해 올바른 성태도를 확립할 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
