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.

The purpose of this research is to find the specific structure with factors that affect online game users' positive word of mouth(WOM) for online game companies to maintain existing and new users. In previous studies the influence of characteristics of online games and attributes of users on intention to play online games is mainly focused on. However online games are products with communication on network, so that critical mass through diffusion as well as the use of product by individual consumers is important issues. Therefore, it is necessary to consider network externality effect that the more value can be obtained by more game users. The authors verified that the influence of the variables like social mass and critical mass, affecting consumers' attitude and WOM. According to the research results, social norm and critical mass have significant influence on positive attitude and WOM intention for online games. Another results verified that social norm and users' attitude affect positive WOM intention directly. These results suggest managerial implication regarding social norm and critical mass to online game companies that desire for WOM to get more online game users.

본 연구는 기본적으로 현대 디지털 사회에서의 게임의 공간 문제를 장소론적으로 해석하려는 목적을 갖고 있다. 디지털 게임에서의 공간과 장소성은 인류학적으로 보는 관점과는 어떠한 공통점과 차이점이 있는지를 탐구하여 게임의 비장소의 공간들이 어떻게 구현되고 장소적 특성을 보이고 있는지를 살펴봄으로써 장소론적 입장에서 게임공간을 연구하였다. 디지털 게임공간의 장소성에 관한 연구는 디지털게임을 이해하는데 있어 기존의 '매체 지향적 논의'들과 '서사중심'의 파편적인 논의를 통합하는 계기를 제공하고 다양한 방향으로서의 연구 가능성을 제시할 수 있으리라 본다.

컴퓨터게임에 대한 여러 가지 논의는 부정적이거나 기술적인 연구의 한계점을 보이지만, 그 가능성과 사회적 영향력에 대한 부분은 우리 생활 깊이 들어와 인식되고 있다. 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 복잡한 특성을 드러내는 컴퓨터게임은 현 디지털시대와 이 시대를 살고 있는 모두를 포함하여 이들의 문화와 크게 밀접한 연관성을 가진다. 이에 따라 컴퓨터게임이 어떻게 현 시대를 반영하고, 영향력을 미치는지에 대해 다각도의 학문적 접근이 필요함을 밝히고자 한다. 결핍에서만 생겨나는 욕망의 주체가 컴퓨터게임이라는 즐김의 공간에서 일상과는 대립된 가상을 실현하는 심리적 관점에서의 관찰과 함께 양방향적인 게임의 특성을 각각의 이론들과 연관지어 보면서, 막연한 부정적인 시각에서 벗어나 컴퓨터게임을 여러 분야의 만남의 장으로 인식하고 문화로서 바라보는 객관적 시각의 필요성을 밝혀보고자 한다.

본 연구는 무선인터넷 컨텐츠 중 가장 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 모바일 게임의 고객 충성도 형성요인을 고찰하였다. 모바일 게임 산업은 그동안 각 이동통신사에 종속된 게임업체들이 게임 컨텐츠를 공급함으로써 게임업체에 지속적인 충성도를 가지는 고객을 확보하기가 어려웠다. 그러나 이제 무선망 개방과 더불어 이동 통신회사와는 관계없이 자유롭게 무선인터넷 접속이 가능해짐에 따라 많은 변화가 예상된다. 즉, 시장의 장벽이 사라지게 되어 모바일 게임업체들 간의 경쟁은 더 한층 심화될 것이며, 결국 안정적인 고객을 확보한 몇몇 기업만이 살아남게 될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모바일 게임의 충성도 형성에 영향을 미치는 변수들에는 어떠한 것이 있는지 조사해 보고자 한다. 기존의 온라인 게임이나 컴퓨터 게임의 충성도에 관한 연구들을 참조하여 모바일 게임만의 특성을 고려한 연구모형을 설정하였다. 먼저 모바일 게임의 충성도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 게임의 내적 요인과 외적 요인으로 구분하였다. 모바일 게임의 내적 요인으로는 게임 컨텐츠 자체의 참신성, 조작용이성을, 게임 외적 요인으로는 브랜드 인지도와 사회적 상호작용성을 선정하였다. 이러한 변수들이 모바일 게임 만족도에 영향을 미치고 또 이 만족도가 모바일 게임에 대한 고객 충성도로 이어진다는 모델과 가설을 제시하였다.
