This study examined the "lifestyle (26 lifestyle items)," "proper etiquette on public transportation," and "satisfaction in life" of male and female Korean high school students in Seoul, and clarified their characteristics and gender-related differences. A December 2004 questionnaire survey received 841 valid responses from male and female students in Seoul. Its major findings were as follows: (1) Among the 26 questions on lifestyles, both genders responded affirmatively about "getting into a prestigious university and company" and "doing things that attract people's attention," reflecting social emphasis on self-fulfillment and upward mobility. (2) Factor analysis of the 26 questions extracted 8 factors (gender difference findings are in parentheses): self-realization orientation (boys≒girls), trend orientation, prestige orientation, introversion (boys>girls), gender equality awareness (girls>boys), dependency, family harmony, and leisure orientation. (3) Awareness about proper etiquette on public transportation is lower in girls than in boys, with more girls using cell phones on the subway or bus than boys. (4) Satisfaction in life: Gender-related differences (p<0.001) were detected in "satisfaction in school," with girls particularly more satisfied than boys. Both boys and girls were highly satisfied with their family and friend relationships, with no significant gender-related differences.
