성행동 상황에서 여성의 거절은 진정한 거절이 아닌, 명목상 저항이라는 믿음이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 남성의 성적 제안에 여성이 거절했을 때, 그 이유가 무엇인지와 그 거절 이유 평가에서 성차가 있는지 살펴보았다. 남녀 대학생 152명에게 성행동 상황 시나리오를 제시하고 여성이 거절한 이유를 자유롭게 서술하게 하였다. 이것을 바탕으로, 여성의 거절 이유 문항을 구성한 후 남녀 대학생 536명에게 성행동 상황 시나리오를 제시하고 여성이 어떤 이유에서 거절했을지 그 이유의 중요도를 평가하도록 하였다. 요인분석 결과, 여성의 거절 이유는 ‘순결 의식’, ‘성규범’, ‘조종’, ‘관계 변화’, ‘교감 부족’, ‘현실적 문제’의 여섯 요인으로 도출되었다. 여성 참가자는 남성보다 시나리오 속 여성이 ‘순결 의식’, ‘관계 변화’, ‘현실적 문제’의 이유로 상대의 성적 제안을 거절한 것으로 더 높게 평가하였다. 반면에, 남성 참가자는 여성보다 ‘성규범’과 ‘조종’의 이유로 상대의 성적 제안을 거절한 것으로 더 높게 평가하였다. 성적 의사소통의 남녀 차이로 이러한 결과를 논의하였다.
There is a common belief that women's refusal in sexual behavior situations is not a true one. In this respect, this study aims to identify why women refuse to accept men's proposal to sexual interaction in sexual behavior situations and whether there is a difference in evaluated reason why women refuse such a proposal between men and women. Sexual behavior scenarios were presented to 152 male and female college students and asked to describe the reason why women refused as freely as they wanted. Based on this, questionable items on why women refused were organized and then sexual behavior situational scenarios were presented to 536 male and female college students and asked to evaluate the importance of the reason of women's refusal. As a result of factor analysis, the reason why women refused men's proposal could be classified into six sub-factors: ‘sense of chastity,’ ‘gender role norm,’ ‘manipulation,’ ‘relational changes,’ ‘lack of communion,’ and ‘practical issues.’ Female participants evaluated that the woman in a scenario refused man's sexual proposal for ‘sense of chastity,’ ‘relational changes,’ and ‘practical issue’ reasons more than male participants. On the other hand, male participants evaluated that the woman in the scenario refused man's sexual proposal for ‘gender role norm’ and ‘manipulation’ reasons more than female participants. Such a result was discussed with difference in sexual communication between men and women.
