Abstract

Despite the widespread use of digital games as a means of promoting physical activity, little is known about the factors that affect active video gaming. Based on the ecological model of health behavior, this study examined how personal, environmental, and social factors would influence active video gaming and general physical activity. The results showed that while all three factors significantly influence general physical activity, social factor is the only factor that affects active video gaming. The finding highlights the importance of social factors in predicting the use of active video games.

신체 활동 증진을 위한 디지털 게임의 높은 활용에도 불구하고, 활동형 게임 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 체계적 이해는 부족하다. 이 연구는 건강 행위의 생태학적 모형을 기반으로, 신체 활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 개인적, 환경적, 사회적 요인으로 세분화하고, 신체 활동을 활동형 게임 이용과 일상적 신체 활동으로 구분하여 각 행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 통합적으로 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 일상적 신체 활동은 세 요인이 모두 영향을 미치는 것과는 달리 활동형 게임 이용에는 사회적 요인만 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 활동형 게임 이용 확대에 사회적 요인이 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.
