| description | Stigmatization restricts people's opportunities in life and has severe consequences on mental health
and psychological well-being. Level of stigmatization towards pedophilia is a concerned issue in the
society as there are several high-profile cases highlighted have brought much attention for the past
years. The present study examines on stigmatization level towards pedophilia among university
students. In addition to that, it also tries to examine the relationship between parenting attachment,
mental disorder, emergent of the internet and their stigmatization level towards pedophilia. A crosssectional survey among university students was employed for the purpose of this study. A
quantitative method was used in this research and out of 400 questionnaires distributed only 370
were useable. Results found that majority of the students in UKM showed moderately high level of
stigmatization towards pedophilia. The findings depicted that parenting attachment, mental disorder,
and emergent of internet were significantly associated with the level of stigmatization towards
pedophilia. Thus, this study contributes a greater understanding of pedophilia especially for
university students as they have received proper education that will influence others’ perception on
pedophilia. It is crucial for the university’s management to formulate effective campaigns and social
work programmes to raise awareness on pedophilia issue. |
