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.

본 연구는 대학생의 성의식 및 성평등 의식과 성희롱 인식 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기위해 시도하였다. 2015년 4월 23일부터 4월30일까지 전남소재 1개 대학교에 재학 중인 대학생 274명의 설문지를 수집하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 대학생의 성의식은 평균 $3.00{\pm}0.29$점, 성평등 의식은 평균 $1.97{\pm}0.39$점, 성희롱 인식 수준은 평균 $4.09{\pm}0.54$점으로 나타났다. 성희롱인식수준은 성별, 전공, 주거형태 및 성평등 의식과 음의 상관관계가 있었고, 성의식은 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 대학생의 성희롱인식수준에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별, 전공, 주거형태, 성의식, 성평등 의식 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 파악된 대학생들의 성희롱 인식 수준을 향상시키기 위해 성별, 전공, 주거형태. 성의식, 성평등 의식 차이에 따라 세분화하여 올바른 성의식과 건전한 성평등 의식을 확립하고 건전한 대학문화 확립을 위한 성희롱의 예방대책과 예방 교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용 될 것으로 기대한다.
