소셜 네트워크 서비스의 확산과 더불어 소셜 네트워크 게임(이하에서는 소셜게임이라 함)이 부각되고 있다. 한편, 소셜게임이 인기를 끌면서 소셜 네트워크 서비스가 더욱 확산되는 계기가 되기도 한다. 사용자들을 소셜게임에 몰입하도록 유인하는 요인이 무엇인가를 파악하면 소셜 네트워크 서비스가 더욱 발전할 수 있는 방안을 찾을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 사용자들을 소셜게임에 몰입하도록 유인하는 요인이 무엇인가를 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 소셜 네트워크 사이트라 할 수 있는 페이스북의 소셜게임 사용자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 280명의 사용자들을 대상으로 한 설문을 통해, 소셜게임에의 몰입, 게임스토리, 게임그래픽, 게임사회화, 게임 통제력, 게임 사용용이성의 관계를 구조방정식모형으로 분석하였다. 특히, 게임 사회화와 게임그래픽은 몰입에 직접적으로 영향을 주기도 하며 게임 사용용이성을 통해 간접적으로도 영향을 주었다. 한편, 게임스토리는 몰입에 직접적으로만 영향을 주고, 게임 통제력을 게임사용 용이성을 통해 간접적으로 영향을 준다. 본 연구는 몰입이론과 기술수용이론을 토대로 하고 있지만, 소셜게임에서의 몰입에 대한 최초의 연구이기 때문에 후속 연구에 지침이 될 수 있다. 또한 소셜게임을 개발하는 사업자들이 무엇에 역점을 두고 게임을 개발하고 서비스해야 할 것인가에 대한 지침이 될 수 있다.

In games, immersion is the most important factor that makes the player play game continuously. The user's inability to immerse in game makes him/her not interested in game, so it makes the user give up. So, we must perceive the immersion factor that the games have. By applying the factors that causes immersion to the game development, we will be able to multiply the joy of game to the user, and bring high profit to the game developing enterprises. To this, this study finds out the interrelations between the factor of immersion existing inside the game and the components of the game to experience the highest immersion status to the user.

This study explored how peers influence on adolescents' game over-indulgence. More specifically, it was examined the effects of emotional support, subjective norm of game use, peer stress, and friends' attitude toward gaming on game over-indulgence. Results showed that the higher level of subjective norm of game use and peer stress one received the higher level of game over-indulgence one reported. However, lower emotional support caused higher game over-indulgence. Meanwhile, friends' attitude toward gaming was not significantly related to game over-indulgence. The meaning and the importance of peer in terms of game over-indulgence and limitations of the study were discussed.

This research was conducted to find out determinant variables which can influence the degree of flow in smoking simulation game. We set up flow experience as a dependent variable. Several factors including empathy, health concern, and brainwave(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$) EEG(Electroencephalogram) as a physiological indicator, which was expected to affect flow, were set up as independent variables to perform regression analysis. As a result, empathy, health consciousness, and ${\beta}$ wave had positive influences on flow in smoking simulation game but ${\alpha}$ wave had negative effect. This research empirically analyzed users' experience and neurophysiological changes which can influence on flow in serious game and contributed to theoretical and methodological development in health-related game research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the factors that determine the game immersion of adolescents by the level of school. The results of this research showed that among the internal variables, loneliness, self-control, and among the psychological variables, game leadership, game subjective norm, and game efficacy played a common role in game addiction in all groups. To be specific the factors determining game overflow by the level of the school were identified as discriminatory. These findings can help making policies or developing a program on adolescent's overflow.

The purpose of this study were to investigate 1) present condition of children's usage of computer game, 2) difference in extent of immersing in computer game according to grade, and 3) difference in extent of immersing in computer game according to conditions of computer game usage. A total of 239 children from 1st to 3rd grade in an elementary school in Busan were surveyed with two kinds of questionnaires about usage of and immersion in computer game. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 program. It was revealed that the 1st graders showed higher scores on experience of computer game, frequency of computer game per week, and amount of time for each computer game than the 3rd graders. However, there were no significant differences in extent of immersing in computer game according to grade and to conditions of computer game usage. The findings of this study implies that the age of using computer game is going down rapidly. Discussions and suggestions for further study were provided.

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.
