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.
