Abstract

World Health Organization reveals its plan for listing 'Gaming Disorder' on the 11th International Disease Codes (ICD-11) in 2018 and it opens hot debate among scholars on its validity and timeliness. Korea, however, seems to have avoided the issue without appropriate academic refutation. In this paper, we review past academic studies related to game addiction or disorder focused on their validity of disorder measurement tools, research designs and the effect of neuroimaging studies. This analysis reveals that excessive use of gaming is not sufficient to register it as a disease and there is a risk of stigmatizing healthy gamers.

2018년부터 국제보건기구의 게임 장애의 국제 질병 코드(ICD-11) 등재 계획이 본격화하면서 세계적으로 학자들 간에 뜨거운 토론이 있었다. 하지만 대한민국은 등재의 부당함에 대한 학문적 근거 제시 없이 회피만 해온 것 같다. 본 논문에서는 게임 중독/장애와 관련한 과거의 학술 연구의 쟁점과 연구 오류 및 왜곡 사례들을 뇌 사진 판독과 게임 중독/이상 진단 도구의 적절성 등을 중심으로 짚어 본다. 본 분석은 게임의 과도한 사용이 게임의 질병 코드 등재의 충분 조건이 아니며 대다수의 건강한 게이머들에게 부당한 낙인을 찍어버릴 위험이 있음을 밝힌다.
