The purpose of this study was to develop a sexuality education program for early adolescents. The overall goals of the program were to not only increase knowledge and skirts, but also to improve the awareness of healthy sex in order to promote premarital abstinence, parent-teen communication and parental awareness of the importance of parental roles and responsibilities in prevention of sexual problems of the early adolescent. The program consisted of six sessions: puberty changes during adolescence, the meaning of sexuality, sexual drives in dating relationships, understanding of the risks associated with early sexual involvement and support for postponing sexual activities, managing and avoiding sexually risky situations, the importance of communications with parents about issues related to sexuality. The program evaluation had three steps: pre-test, immediate post-test and two month follow-up post test. The results showed that the program had a significantly positive effect on the improvement of adolescent's knowledge about sex, and attitudes and behaviors toward sex, particularly in the immediate post-test. At the two month follow-up assessment, the effect of the program still remained strong, though there was a sight and partial reduction which was not statistically significant. Most of the program participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with the program. Parental involvement appeared to be effective as well. Recommendations for further study include: to re-evaluate the curriculum for various other participants. In addition, further study which would compare post-test results of these participants with a comparison group of peers who did not receive the program would be valuable. The author believes that the program can be used in implementing specific subjects (sessions) in new settings, as well as implementing the entire package of the program.

The purposes of this study were to find the general trends of marriage-ideology reflected on the view of marriage of unmarried men and women, to estimate the differences according to related variables and to investigate relation of variables and marriage-ideology. The samples were selected from the unmarried 164 men and 235 women living in Kwang-ju. The major findings were as follows; 1. Unmarried men and women didn't reveal high level of marriage-ideology but men's marriage-ideology scores were higher than women. The overall tendencies were that women's achievement of vicarious status was more imporant than that of personal status, marriage was the male-leading union and men's conditions of mate-selection must be superior than woman. Unmarried men and women usually did not accept equality between sex and they have strong gender-stereotype. In the view of sexuality, premarital viriginity and extramarital intercourse were more rigid with woman and they took a serious view of man-centered kinship. 2. Marriage-ideology were significantly different according to mother's age, necessity of marriage, motive of marriage, marriage taboo according to family origin, the eldest son's parent care-giving, a notion of preferring a son. 3. Men and women's marriage-ideology was positively related to variables. Especially, women's marriage-ideology had high relation to motive of marriage and a notion of preferring a son. But women's marriage-ideology was negatively related to educational level. (Korean J Human Ecology 1(1) : 27∼43, 1998)

결혼은 그 자체로서 매우 중요한 주제이기도 하지만 최근에는 저출산의 주요원인으로 언급되면서 학문적 사회적 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 결혼에 대한 체계적이고 분석적인 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구는 <2005년도 전국 결혼 및 출산 동향조사>자료를 이용해 미혼남녀의 결혼의향을 분석하고 있다. 미혼남녀전체를 대상으로 로짓회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 이들의 인구학적 특성, 경제상황, 가구 및 가족특성, 성과 혼전동거에 대한 태도 등이 통제된 상황에서도 남성보다는 여성에게서 결혼을 하겠다는 비율이 낮게 나타났다. 한편 남녀별 로짓회귀분석의 결과에 의하면 취업, 가구형태, 성과 혼전동거태도 등의 효과가 성에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 취업의 경우, 미혼남성의 결혼의향은 높이지만, 미혼여성에게서는 유의미한 효과를 보이지 않고 있다. 이 같은 결과는 여성의 경제적 기반과 결혼에 대한 두 가지 주요 이론인 경제독립가설과 경력진입모형 모두와 거리가 있는 것이다. 한편, 독립가구거주와 성 및 혼전동거에 대한 개방적 태도의 효과는 미혼남성에게 발견되지 않지만 미혼여성에서는 부정적인 것으로 나타난다. 성에 따른 이상의 변수들의 차별적인 효과는 미혼에서 결혼으로 이행하는 과정과 동기가 성에 따라 다르게 작동함을 의미한다. 따라서 결혼에 관한 이론적 논의와 경험적 연구에서 이러한 남녀간 차별성이 반영될 필요성이 있다.

본 연구는 최근 심각한 건강문제로 부상하고 있는 미혼여성의 성, 피임, 그리고 유산행동의 결정요인을 연구한다. 자료는 구로(서울), 구미(경북), 마산-창원(경남) 등의 수출공단 지역에서 수집되었고, 표본은 1) 프로그램 참가자인 공장노동자, 2) 유흥업소 종사자, 3) 산부인과 환자로 재분류된다. 연구결과는 유흥업소 종사자가 혼전 성관계, 성감염증, 피임실패, 원치 않는 임신, 인공유산 등에 노출될 위험이 가장 큰 집단임을 보여준다. 유흥업소 종사자 중에서 20%가 첫 경험의 결과 성병에 걸렸고, 약 70%가 비효율적인 피임법을 사용하여 2회 이상 임신하였다. 전체표본에서 임신경험자의 비율은 60% 수준이었으며, 집단별로는 프로그램 참가자 36%, 유흥업소 종사자 64%, 산부인과 환자 91%로 나타났다. 이 비율은 각 집단의 인공유산 경험자의 비율과 정확하게 일치하였으며, 그것은 모든 임신은 원치 않는 것으로 결국은 인공유산으로 끝난다는 것을 의미한다. 조사당시 성활동을 한다고 응답한 여성 중에서, 인공유산의 경험횟수는 프로그램 참가자 1.6회, 유흥업소 종사자 2.3회, 산부인과 환자 1.9회로 나타났다. 이들의 80%는 4달안에 유산시술을 받았고, 첫 유산의 전체건수 중2/3는 20세에서 23세 사이에 시술된 것이었다. 약 1/4은 유산후유증을 경험하였으며, 이들의 60%는 후유증을 치료하기 위하여 병원을 찾거나 약을 복용하였다. 유산경험 후에도, 이들의 피임사용율은 유흥업소 종사자를 제외하고는 그렇게 높지 않았다. 본 연구에서 나온 중요한 정책적 건의내용은 공장노동자는 물론 유흥업소 종사자를 대상으로 중앙정부와 지방정부의 후원 아래 우수한 카운셀링 서비스와 가족계획 서비스가 제공되어야 한다는 것이다. 또한 유흥업소 부문은 근본적으로 개혁되어 유흥업소에서 일하는 미혼여성들이 원치 않는 임신, 성감염증, 그리고 인공유산 등의 위험으로부터 제대로 보호를 받아야 한다고 믿는다.
