초록

본 연구는 한국 남녀 대학생의 동성애 혐오에 영향을 미치는 변인을 성행동과 자아존중감을 중심으로 검증하고자 하였다. 전국의 4년제 대학생 638명을 대상으로 동성애 혐오를 종속변인으로 설정하고 인구사회학적 특성 및 성허용도, 성행동, 자아존중감, 그리고 성행동과 자아존중감의 상호작용항을 예측 변인으로 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 동성애 혐오에는 성별, 성허용도, 자아존중감이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성행동이 동성애 혐오에 미치는 영향은 유의미하지 않았지만, 성행동과 조절변수 자아존중감의 상호작용항은 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 동성애 관련 어려움을 경험하는 대학생과 더불어 그 가족 및 학내 구성원을 돕는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
