Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between analysis of rape myths acceptance and gender role stereotype among university students.
Method: First-year students at two three-year colleges in Jeonnam and two three-year colleges in Jeonbuk
(n=406) were selected by convenience sampling. Of these, responses from 386 (95.8%) were analyzed.
Result: Rape myths acceptance in male students was significantly higher than female students (t=5.400, p=.00). In terms of gender role stereotype, male students were significantly higher than female students (t=3.869, p<.001). The relationship between rape myths acceptance and gender role stereotype was in the middle range of correlation: male
students’ correlation coefficient was r=.520 (=p<.001), and female students’ was r=.524 (p=<.001).
Conclusion: The results indicate that university students’ attitudes toward sex have not been properly established yet. Moreover, they highlight that in our society there still exists a male dominated social structure and inequality of sexes. To prevent sexual violation from occurring at the universities, it is necessary that programs to establish proper attitudes of students toward these two factors, should be developed and the results monitored frequently. In addition, cross sectional studies aimed at understanding rape myths acceptance and gender role stereotypes are needed.
