Abstract
Purpose: sexual permissiveness, sexual behaviors and the consumption of mass media in female high school students. Methods: 306 students, from three different girls' high schools in Seoul, who understood the purpose of the study, participated as subjects in the research. The research tools were the mass-media consumption scale, the sexual attitudes survey, the sexual permissiveness survey, and the sexual behaviors scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA with SPSS/WIN. 18.0 program. Results: The subjects' daily mass media consumption was 143.7 minutes of TV watching on weekdays, while 253.9 minutes on weekends, 88.5 minutes of Internet surfing, 57.8 minutes of listening to pop music. Watching TV music programs was 68.3 minutes a week. Watching TV 'alone' was 30.7% and Internet surfing in one's 'own room' was the highest at 39.9%. The average score of sexual attitudes, sexual permissiveness, and sexual behaviors was 25.7/55, 35.4/64 and 0.7/10, respectively. Sexual attitudes and sexual permissiveness varied according to how much time they spent surfing the Internet, with whom they watched TV, and how much time they spent listening to popular music; and sexual behavior differed according to the time spent on the Internet. Conclusion: Educational programs need to be developed to help young people control their media consumption behaviors. In addition, political attention and a proper system are needed to promote a healthier and sounder pop culture through a public review system.
