Abstract
This study explores how players' characteristic factors affect on trolling behaviors. The data was collected through online survey from online communities of League of Legends(N=914, male=770, female=144, average of age=22.19, SD of age=4.78). Questionnaire includes age, level/tier, self-esteem, basic psychological needs, aggression, and trolling behaviors. Result shows that player characteristic factors which influence on players trolling behavior are 'age', 'physical aggression', 'verbal aggression'. Discussion suggests that the understanding of player's characteristics which influence on trolling behaviors has to precede the improvement of system structure in order to eradicate trolling behaviors.
