The purpose of purpose of present study was to identify the effect of emotional differentiation of women students from athletes in colleges on social distance. For this purpose, the colleges in Seoul that have athletic teams were the population. From the population, the college `K` was selected as the sample, which has the highest number of athletes and athletic teams. The convenience sampling, one of the non-probability sampling methods, was used. All of the selected subjects were who belonged to the college K. Among the subjects, 115 belonged to the literary departments, 105 to the technical departments, 115 to the art departments, and 168 to the athletic departments. 500 questionnaires were collected, but 11 among them were excluded due to their incompletion or omits. Thus, total 489 respondents were used in the research in practice. Surveying was used as the tool to collect data, and independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were used as the statistical methods to analyze the data. By these methods and processes, the following results were obtained. First, according to the demographic and sociological conditions, the emotional differentiation of women students from athletes in a college showed significant differences. Partially, there were significant differences in their negative feelings, between the group that had athletes in their middle or high school and the other group that didn`t. Also, according to their departments and their ages, the subjects showed significant differences in their negative feelings. Second, under the demographic and sociological conditions, the social distances the women students had were partially different significantly. Between the groups with and without previous experiences regarding athletes in their middle or high schools, there were partially significant differences in physical and personal distances. There were also significant differences in physical distances between the groups with and without the experiences with athletes in the same classes in the middle or high schools. There were also significant differences according to whether they experienced themselvesas an athlete or not, and which departments they belonged. Third, the emotional differentiation of women students from athletes in a college, its connection with social distance, and the differences in effects, are correlated statistically in part. The emotional differentiation influenced the constant of physical distance that is a sub-factor under the social distance factor. And it also influenced the constant of personal distance, interests in athletics and athletes in technical departments. And it also influenced interests in athletics and athletes in art departments.
