With the development of ICT technology, the game industry is growing rapidly. However, due to the excessive play of the game, there are cases where normal life is difficult. It is necessary to study the diagnosis and countermeasures against such game addiction. This paper study a system for diagnosing game addiction based on game usage information of game users. In order to develop a game addiction diagnostic system, this study classifies game addiction and abuse users and collects and models log information in real game environment. In addition, the addiction and good use model of game users was used as a knowledge to diagnose the addiction of new game users. Through the experiment, we could confirm the meaningful results. Also, according to the result of the diagnosis, the service such as SMS and reporting was suggested.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 접어드는 중심에 살고 있는 청소년들에게 스마트미디어는 삶의 가장 중요한 일부분이다. 미래창조과학부에서 발표한 2016년 조사에서 만 6세 이상 85%(2015년 대비 2.5%p${\uparrow}$)가 스마트 기기를 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 스마트기기의 보유율 증가는 게임 플랫폼으로 접근성이 높아지는 것을 의미하고 모바일 게임에 대한 과몰입 위험도가 커진다. 많은 연구와 논쟁이 이루어지는 온라인 게임에 대한 과몰입 대비에 비해 모바일 게임 과몰입 대책은 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 게임 과몰입에 가장 취약한 중학생을 대상으로 모바일 게임 제어 시스템을 통해 학생들이 자기 주도적으로 모바일 게임 과몰입에서 벗어날 수 있게 유도하였다. 학생들이 해당 시스템을 평상시에 활용했을 때 효율성과 실제 구현에 있어 고려해야 할 사항에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Recently, there has been an increasing social concern over the use of random reward game items. In this paper, we try to understand the effect of using random reward game on adolescents based on the survey data over a year. In addition, regression analysis was conducted to examine how socio-psychological variables affect the game addiction of adolescents according to use of random reward games. As a result of analysis, it was found that the random reward game use group had lower self esteem and higher material value than the normal game use group. Also, self esteem and material value have a significant effect on game addiction. And finally, the results and implications were discussed.

The present study analyzed the KOCCA's Game Immersion data to explore the relationship between psychological traits and game immersion. Psychological traits were classified into four categories; emotional stability, self-esteem, willpower, and happiness. These were put into the multiple regression analysis as the dependent variables with age, sex (dummy), economic status of the homes, variety of leisure activities, friend and family relationship, and time to play games. Four types of immersion (psychological unstability, bad relationship, interrupted daily lives, and failure to control game time and desire) were put into the multiple regression analysis as the independent variables. The multiple regression analysis indicated that the dependent variables predicted the game immersion. Among the psychological traits emotional stability was the strongest factor (negative) that influences the game immersion. Next powerful indicator (negative) among the psychological traits was self-esteem. Based on the findings, measures to alleviate the problems of game immersion and ideas for further research were suggested.

This paper uses Preliminary Surveys of Game User Panels conducted in 2019 to examine how social relations that young game users held affect game use. In particular, we analyzed how social relations of youth affect adaptive and maladaptive usage of game. According to the statistical results, the quality of the relationship between users and parents and that of the relationship between users and their friends do not have consistent effects on the degree of adaptive and maladaptive game use. Also, the results suggests that game-related information can play as a double-edged sword for young game users by reinforcing the degree of adaptive and maladaptive game use. The results implies the possibility of interaction between adaptive and maladaptive game using behavior as an interpretative framework in social context rather than mutually exclusive mechanisms.
