ABSTRACT

Purpose : The aims of this study were to identify the levels of gender egalitarianism, self-esteem, and collective self-esteem of cadets and to investigate the correlations among them. Methods : The data were collected using self-reported questionnaires comprised of the measurement tools for gender egalitarianism, self-esteem, collective self-esteem, and demographic characteristics from 423 cadets in the Republic of Korea. Results : From the analysis of the results, positive correlations exist among the cadets' gender egalitarianism, self-esteem and collective self-esteem. Specifically, female cadets scored higher than male cadets in gender egalitarianism category. However, cadets' gender egalitarianism was not statistically significant in relation to demographic characteristics. Only the male cadets showed differences in gender egalitarianism related to parental nurture attitude. Conclusion : These findings suggest that an educational program should be developed making a gender equality culture rather than focusing on the cadets' demographic characteristics to improve the male cadets’ gender egalitarianism. More importantly, parental nurture attitude should be considered an affect factor in male cadets' gender egalitarianism. By improving cadets' gender egalitarianism, self-esteem and collective self-esteem could also be enhanced.
