The purpose of this study is to understand the psychological development of women from feminist perspective centering on the text of Brothers Grimm, ‘the Handless Maiden’. The folktale, which is universally spread all over the world, is already well known in Korea. This study attempts to understand women’s psychology by demonstrating that the messages of archetypical symbols in folktales reflect the social conditions. The main character’s “cutting and regeneration of hands” is linked to the loss and regeneration of the initiative, and it is examined with the model in Downing & Roush’s ‘5 Stage Feminist Identity Development’. In the first stage of passive acceptance, the initiative is lost with the cutting of ‘hand’ by father. In the second stage of revelation, despite the heroine’s separation from the father and recovery of the initiative, she depends on the king who makes the hand. In the third stage of embeddedness Emanation, with re-seperation and growth of the initiative, the heroine enters the forest. In the fourth stage of synthesis, with the reproduction of the hands, the initiative is established. In the last stage of active commitment, the integration of initiative and friendship occurs with the regeneration of both hands. Through all these processes, the heroine in the folktale deconstructs the language of the body, mind, and emotion which are internalized by the external condition of the patriarchal society, and goes on looking for her own new language independently. It is significant to investigate the influence of external conditions on women’s inner side and furthermore to feature the process that the initiative, which is the symbol of hand, is subjectively reconstructed according to the stage of development of female identity through women’s psychology from the feminist perspective.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between rejection sensitivity, disconnect and reject scheme, sexual assertiveness among female college students. Based on this study results, female students can predict their own vulnerability to sexual problems and provide prevention and treatment of sexual conflicts. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, 260 female college students in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province were surveyed from July to August 2018 and the data collected were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 and Amos 18 programs. The results showed that there is a positive correlation between rejection sensitivity and disconnect and rejection scheme. and negative correlation between rejection sensitivity and sexual assertiveness, disconnect and rejection scheme and sexual assertiveness negatively. In relation to the research model, a complete mediating model is more appropriate that rejection sensitivity does not directly affect sexual assertiveness, but indirectly affects sexual assertiveness through disconnect and rejection scheme. Finally, there are significant differences between rejection sensitivity, disconnect and reject scheme, sexual assertiveness according to experience of date and sexual intercourse. The implications of this study are as follow. First, there were few research examined the effect of rejection sensitivity, disconnect and rejection scheme on sexual assertiveness. So it is significant to reveal the mechanisms that influence sexual assertiveness. In addition, these findings can be applied to counseling, education and training programs for female students who have difficulties in relationship with others, including interpersonal relationships because of their rejection sensitivity, disconnect and rejection scheme, low sexual assertiveness.
