Depending on the size and complexity of the game, interest in game quality control is increasing. The quality of the game can be evaluated through fun and stability tests, and the player's satisfaction varies greatly accordingly. For the quality control of the game, Fun QA is in charge of testing to increase the fun and give satisfaction to the players. In this study, we first looked at software quality improvement techniques and game QA work. And in order to improve game quality, we analyzed Fun QA, which is relatively unstructured compared to Technical QA, which is mainly responsible for stability testing. Based on this, the Fun QA process was proposed and an example of Fun QA design was presented using real games. It is expected that this study will be one of the pillars of the game quality management area pursuing quality improvement by guaranteeing fun. Furthermore, it is expected to help QA workers expand their work area.

This research examined the effects of user experience in driving simulation game between using general monitor and 3D virtual reality device, Oculus Rift DK2. We compared the difference of user experience such as presence, flow and arousal by gaming environment. We also tested the effects of virtual reality on driving attitude, emotional pleasure and satisfaction. 100 beginner drivers with a driver's license participated in the experiment of two modes of gaming environment. As a result, all the three user experiences were proved to be significantly higher in VR game play than general monitor game. Also driving attitude, emotional pleasure and satisfaction showed a significant difference in virtual reality. This study makes a theoretical and practical contribution to the application of the next virtual reality game with a special function.

An experimental research investigated the components of lottery games affecting lottery-purchasing behaviors and the psychological consequences of the behaviors. In the experiment, participants were given a chance to purchase a lottery tickets during a series of computer games and their decision of purchasing the lottery ticket was measured. Also, the size and probability of the lottery games were manipulated and the perceived difficulty, satisfaction of the mid-outcome, and perceived probability of success in the computer game were measured in order to examine their impacts on participants' lottery-purchasing decisions. In addition, the behavioral tendency, satisfaction of the final outcome, and perceived self-capability in the computer game were measured at the end of the computer games in order to examine the effects of lottery-purchasing experiences on the variables. Participants who perceived the games as easier and estimated the probability of their success highly were more likely to buy the lottery tickets. However, the winning prize and odd of lottery tickets, perceived satisfaction of their own performance, and the performance itself did not influence the purchasing decisions. The common beliefs on the negative effects of lottery-purchasing experiences on human motivation and behaviors were not supported. The implications of the present research findings and limitations of the experimental research on lottery were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to set up the proper method of corporal punishment. The analysis was based on game theory. Major conclusion were as follows: First, the principle of maximum utility and a rational humane of students were assumed. Second, in the game situation of imperfect information, the actions deserved punishment were done by students and punishment was not done by teachers. Third, in game situation of incomplete information, when the probability of punishment is over 50%, ill actions were done by students. Forth, in game situation of complete information, the actions deserved punishment were not done by students, punishment didn't have to be done by teachers. Fifth, in game situation of complete information, when the written agreement for punishment of teacher-students was carried out, the student's school life satisfaction measurement was improved significantly.
