초록

본 연구에서는 게임 이용자들이 게임에 과몰입하게 되는 심리적 욕구나 욕망을 보다 정교한 방식으로 탐색하고자 하였다. 기존 게임 과몰입의 영향 변수들과 더불어 치유적 카타르시스와 자아 효능감 이론을 적용하여 온라인 게임 이용자 489명을 대상으로 그 효과를 검증한 결과 치유적 카타르시스와 게임 자아 효능감 요인이 게임의 중독적 현상을 심화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 게임 이용자들이 현실이 야기한 결핍과 불충족된 욕구에 대한 방어기제를 작동시키면서 암묵적인 자아 치유를 위해 게임에 더욱 과몰입 하고 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구는 게임 이용이 게임 과몰입으로 이어지는 내면의 심리를 파악하는데 유용한 근거로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

There are general surveys on factors related to game addiction. However, less is known about the relationships between game addiction, therapeutic catharsis seeking, and game and life self-efficacy in terms of desired needs. This study sought to clarify several of these relationships. Using data from a survey of 489 online game users, we conducted a regression analysis to explore the association between therapeutic aspects (therapeutic catharsis seeking and game and life self-efficacy), psychological problems (loneliness and depression), and demographic variables (age and gender). Results showed that both therapeutic catharsis seeking and game self-efficacy increase game addiction. The implications of these results are discussed.
