중학생의 성지식, 성태도가 성인지감수성에 미치는 영향

This study is a descriptive research aimed at identifying middle school students' sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, and gender sensitivity, and analyzing the influencing factors on gender sensitivity. The subjects of the study are 190 middle school students enrolled in G City, and the data collection period was conducted from June 1 to June 20, 2024. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS/WIN 27.0 program for descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA, with post-hoc verification analyzed using Scheffe’s test. The correlation between factors was analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, and the factors affecting gender sensitivity were calculated through multiple linear regression analysis. According to the research results, the average sexual knowledge of middle school students was 13.76 out of 20, sexual attitude was 3.53 out of 5, and gender sensitivity was 3.27 out of 5. There was a positive correlation between sexual knowledge and sexual attitude(r= .29, p< .01), and sexual attitude also had a positive correlation with gender sensitivity(r= .21, p< .01). The factor affecting middle school students' gender sensitivity was found to be sexual attitude, which accounted for 16.0% of the variance. Based on this study, there is a need to develop a comprehensive sex education program that can establish positive sexual attitudes in order to enhance the gender sensitivity of middle school students.
