의과대학생에서 종교와 성행동과의 관계

Abstract

[한글]

대부분의 종교가 성에 대해 억압적이고 금지적이기 때문에 청소년들의 종교성이 높을수록 성경험(sexual experience)이 적을 것이다. 이러한 생각을 검증하기 위해 본 연구자는 Y 대학교 의과대학 1,2학년 288명을 대상으로 종교 유무, 종교별, 종교성에 따른 성태도, 성행위, 성지식에 대한 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 종교성을 측정하기 위해 종교활등 참여정도와 종교에 대한 중요도를 알아보았으며, 성태도, 성경험, 성지식을 검사하기 위해 다차원적 성검사 도구인 Derogatis 성기능 검사도구(Derogatis Sexual FunctioningInventory)를 이용하였다. 그 결과, 첫째로, 종교가 있는 군이 없는 군에 비해서 성태도가 보수적이며, 성경험이 적었고, 자위행위, 성교행위에 대한 죄책감이 높았다. 둘째로, 각 종교 (기독교, 천주교, 불교)에 따른 성태도, 성경험, 성지식 간의 차이는 없었다. 셋째로, 종교를 중요시 할수록, 종교 활동정도가 많을수록, 성태도가 보수적이고 성경험이 적은 경향이 있었고 자위행위와 성교행위에 대한 죄책감이 높았다. 넷째로, 여자보다는 남자에서 종교가 성행동에 미치는 영향이 뚜렷하였다.

The relationship between religiosity and sexual behavior is examined with a

sample of 288 medical college students. We examined the differences of sexual

knowledge, attitude and experience according to whether they have religion or not,

kind of religion, and degree of religiosity using DSFI (Derogatis Sexual

Functioning Inventory). We examined religious participation and priority of

religion in life to estimate religiosity. The results are the following :

1. The religious group shows more conservative sexual attitude and had less

sexual experiences and felt less guilty feeling after masturbation and sexual

intercourse than the nonreligious group.

2. There was no difference of sexual knowledge, aptitude and experience between

religions (Protestant, Catholics, and Buddism).

3. As they were more concerned of religion and more participating in religious

activity, students had more conservative sexual attitudes and had less sexual

experience and felt less guilty after masturbation and intercourse.

4. When comparing religious effect on sexual behavior between male and female

students, the males students were more affected by religion on their sexual

behavior than the female students.
