Abstract

This study examined how the use of co-game play, which implies specific behavioral condition, changes the influence and direction of the sensation seeking, gender, and identity stability, which are predictors on game addiction. The results of this study are as follows. First, sensation seeking had no significant effect on game addiction. However, the main effect of co-play on game addiction was confirmed. Second, the moderating effects of gender on co-play and game addiction were significant. It indicates that co-play has a greater impact on game addiction in female than male.

본 연구는 게임 중독에 이르는 과정에서 개인의 신경생리학적 특성, 게임 이용 행위의 특성, 그리고 심리학적·개인적 특성이 어떻게 상호작용하는가를 살펴보고자 했다. 이를 위해 18세부터 24세의 남녀 대학생 154명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 다음과 같은 연구결과를 도출했다. 첫째, 감각추구성향은 게임 중독에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 집단적 게임 이용은 게임 중독에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 집단적 게임 이용과 게임 중독에 대한 성별의 조절효과가 발견되었다. 즉 집단적 게임 이용이 게임 중독에 미치는 영향은 남성보다 여성에게서 더 높은 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
