Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing sexual consciousness, gender egalitarianism and awareness levels of sexual harassment among college students. Methods: As a descriptive, correlative study, the data was collected from 274 college students. The copies of the questionnaire were collected from April 23 to 30, 2015. The data was analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression. Results: Sexual consciousness, gender egalitarianism and sexual harassment awareness levels averaged 3.00 (range of score 1-5), 1.97(1-4) and 4.09 (1-5), respectively. Awareness levels of sexual harassment had a positive correlation with sexual consciousness, and a negative correlation with gender, major field of study, living patterns, and gender egalitarianism. Conclusion: This study has identified sexual consciousness and gender egalitarianism, as well as the associated influencing factors, among college students. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for developing strategies and programs for the prevention of sexual harassment among college students.
