초록

메타버스 시대가 도래하면서 메타버스를 이용하는 개인을 이해하는 것은 기업 및 마케팅 실무자에게 중요한 과제가 되었다. 이 연구는 메타버스 비이용자와 이용자의 인구사회학적 속성과 성격을 비교하고, 이러한 개인 특성이 메타버스 이용에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 했다. 연구문제 검증을 위해 2022년 한국미디어패널조사에서 추출한 만13세 이상의 응답자 9,686명의 단면 응답 자료를 분석했다. 연구 결과, 메타버스 비이용자와 이용자는 성별, 연령, 교육 수준, 소득 수준, 배우자 유무, 직업 유무, 개방성, 외향성, 성실성에 차이가 있었다. 성별, 연령, 개방성, 신경성은 메타버스 이용 가능성에 영향을 미쳤다. 메타버스 이용 정도에는 연령, 교육 수준, 개방성이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 메타버스를 활용하고자 하는 기업 및 마케팅 실무자가 전략 수립 시 참고할 수 있는 기초 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.

With the advent of the metaverse era, understanding individuals who engage in metaverse activities has become an important task for businesses and marketing practitioners. This study aimed to compare the socio-demographic and personality factors of metaverse non-users and users, and to ascertain the impact of these individual characteristics on use of metaverse. Cross-sectional data from 9,686 respondents aged 13 and above that extracted from the 2022 Korean Media Panel Survey were analyzed, revealing significant differences between metaverse non-users and users in terms of gender, age, education level, income level, marital status, employment status, openness to experience, extraversion, and conscientiousness. Gender, age, openness to experience, and neuroticism influenced the possibility of metaverse use. Age, education level, and openness to experience were found to impact the extent of metaverse use. These findings are expected to serve as foundational insights for businesses and marketing practitioners aiming to formulate strategies in utilizing the metaverse.
