Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the attitudes and behavior toward prostitution and gender equality in male university students.
Method: The subjects were 339 male university students in G province. The data were gathered from August 29 to September 23, 2005. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient using SPSS/Win 10.0 program.
Results: About twenty-eight percent of the subjects had experiences with prostitutes. The mean score of the attitude toward prostitution was 2.88+/-.39. The mean scores of the attitude and behavior toward gender equality were 1.90+/-.44, 2.73+/-.31, respectively. There was a significant difference in the attitude toward prostitution between subjects with experiences and without experiences with a prostitute. Also, there was a significant difference in the attitude and behavior toward gender equality between subjects with experiences and without experiences in prostitution.
Conclusions: This study showed that the attitude toward prostitution was strongly related to the attitude and behavior toward gender equality. Realistic and future-directed gender equality programs should be developed for the target population.
