일반 국민 1,522명을 대상으로 성평등의식과 여성 관련 정책에 대한 태도를 살펴보고, 적극적 조치에 대한 반대가 공정성 지각에 의해 매개되는지 검증하였다. 그 결과, 성평등의식은 남성보다 여성이 높았고, 인구통계학적 특성별로 성평등의식의 편차가 컸다. 남성은 적극적 조치 정책 가운데, ‘국회의원 비례대표후보 50% 공천제도’에 대하여 ‘국공립대 일정비율 여성교수 채용’, ‘여성채용 우수기업에 정부지원제도’보다 더 소극적이었다. 또한 남성들은 성평등의식이 높거나 낮은 데에 상관없이 ‘군가산점제 폐지’를 반대했고, 여성들도 ‘군가산점제 폐지’와 관련하여 성평등의식의 고저 간에 차이가 없었으며 ‘성매매종합대책 실시'에 관련해서도 성평등의식 수준에 상관없이 매우 찬성했다. 또한 남성들은, 여성들과 달리, 성평등의식이 낮을수록 적극적 조치에 반대하는데 이에 공정성 지각이 부분매개효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 성평등정책과 관련하여 젠더파트너십을 형성하는데 중요한 기초자료를 제공해주는데 의의가 있다. 마지막으로 이 연구의 시사점과 제한점 및 앞으로 연구 과제를 논의하였다.
This study examined the attitudes regarding the sex role egalitarianism and the gender equality policies. Especially, this study was to investigate relations between gender egalitarianism, opposition to affirmative action and perception of the justice. This study analyzed the results of 1,522 Korean women(n=506) and men(n=1016). According to results, women, younger aged group, more educations group and urban dwellers showed more favorable attitude toward the sex role egalitarianism than man, old aged group, low educational group and rural dwellers. But, the sex difference in the attitude toward sex role egalitarianism was to greater the younger aged group than the old aged group. Results of the analysis of the attitude regarding gender equality policies suggested that women showed more favorable attitudes than man. The results of the multiple regression mediation analysis demonstrated that people's prejudice level was positively associated with opposition toward affirmative action policies. Moreover, the prejudice was partially mediated through the justice based opposition. The significance, implications, and limitations of these findings were discussed and topics to be investigated in the future study were mentioned.
