Purpose: This study intends to investigate gender role identity and egalitarianism consciousness among adolescents and to determine the relationship between the two factors.
Methods: Data were collected from 376 middle and high school students in U City. Tools used were the Korean Sexual Role Identity (Kim, J. H., 2005) and the Gender Egalitarianism Consciousness among Adolescents (Kim, 2002). Data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 for t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: There was no significant difference between boys and girls in gender role identity. Boys’ gender role identity was different according to school grade (t=-3.19, p= .00), frequency of mother’s hugging (t=-2.28, p= .02) and girls’ according to religion (t=-2.24, p= .03), mother’s job (F=3.59, p= .02), father’s education level (F=3.20, p= .04), mother’s education level (F=3.24, p= .04), family harmony (F=7.28, p= .00), and frequency of mother’s hugging (t=-2.41, p= .02). There was significant difference in egalitarianism consciousness according to gender (t=-12.70, p= .00). Boys’ egalitarianism consciousness was different according to school type (t= .02, p= .00) and father’s education level (F=4.97, p= .02), and girls’ according to school grade (t=-4.21, p= .00), school type (t=-3.12, p= .00), father’s level of education (F=3.78, p= .02), decision maker of important domestic matter (F=4.95, p= .00) and frequency of mother’s hugging (t=2.53, p= .01). In Girls, sexual role identity and gender egalitarianism consciousness were significantly correlated with each other (r= .01, p= .04).
