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.
