Abstract

Purpose: This study was attempted for the purpose of grasping the relationship between gender equality consciousness, self-esteem, and stress in university students. Methods: This study was based on a questionnaire survey with a total of 287 university students. Data were collected from March 5 to March 31, 2013. A survey questionnaire was used to measure demographics, gender equality consciousness, self-esteem and stress. Data were analyzed using SPSS/Win 23.0 version. Results: The average of gender equality consciousness stood at $3.14{\pm}0.34$. The higher gender equality consciousness led to more significant correlations with self-esteem (r=.229, p<.001) and stress (r=-.258, p<.001). Conclusion: It can be considered that there is a need to develop an education program available for reducing stress and for improving self-esteem by increasing university students' gender equality consciousness.
