Abstract

• Purpose
  The purpose of this study is to explore college women's views of women for forming an upright sex role identity and sex values.
• Method
  The data were collected through in-depth interviews of 10 college women on Jeju Island from February 2002 to March 2002. The interviews were conducted by the writer of this thesis. Each interview lasted for about 45 minutes. The data were analyzed by the Giorgi method.
• Result
  Five main meanings were identified : 1) unfairness 2) majesty 3) mothering 4) womenishness 5) backward in capacity. In other words, women's roles are to look after their family and to take care of household affairs. Women should be beautiful and have womenish traits. Women are less intelligent than men. Women are dependent on men though they suffer from unfairness. This study presents an evidence that the traditional sex-role attitudes still prevail.
• Conclusion
  In order to form an upright sex role identity and sex values, institutional programs in the society and individual efforts are needed.
• Keywords: Women; Phenomenology
