Abstract

This is a descriptive research study to explore factors related to the perception of digital sex crimes among university students of the MZ generation in Korea. Data were collected by conducting a survey of 150 university students in Korea. As a result, the variable that showed the highest relevance to the recognition of digital sex crimes among MZ generation university students was sexual perception (β=-0.390, p<.001). Total explanatory power was 25.2% after adding gender (β=0.207, p=.018) and sexual attitude (β=0.157, p=.045). Our results suggest that customized education in consideration of factors related to digital sex crime perception is needed to form and improve a correct perception of digital sex crimes among MZ generation university students.

본 연구는 국내 MZ세대 대학생들의 디지털 성범죄 인식과 관련된 요인을 탐색하기 위한 서술적 연구이다. 본 연구를 위해 국내 대학생 150명을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 참여자들의 평균 연령은 21.17세이었다. 분석 결과, MZ세대 대학생의 디지털 성범죄 인식과 가장 관련성이 높은 변수는 성적 인식이었으며(β=-0.390, p<.001), 성별(β=0.207, p=.018)과 성적 태도(β=0.157, p=.045)가 더해져 설명력은 25.2%였다(F=17.588, p<.001). 본 연구는 MZ세대 대학생들의 올바른 디지털 성범죄 인식 형성 및 개선을 위해 대학생의 디지털 성범죄 인식과 관련된 요인을 고려한 맞춤형 교육의 필요성을 제안한다.
