This study explored the motivation for adolescents to watching games and analyzed the relationship between motivation, satisfaction, and intention to use. The study surveyed 274 middle and high school students, and the results of the analysis are as follows. First, five motivations for adolescents to watching games were extracted: 'Acquire Information', 'Social Relations/Multitasking', 'Gamer/Creator Preference', 'Escape/Habit', and 'Vicarious Satisfaction/Fun'. Second, 'Vicarious Satisfaction/Fun' motivation influenced the satisfaction and the intention to use of game. Lastly, Groups based on usage showed differences in motivation. The findings could be used as data to explore the factors of adolescents's game motivation and viewed the game markets.

By integrating of intrinsic motivation theory and flow theory, this study sought to investigate the causal linkage among optimal balance of video game player's perceived skill and challenge, flow experience, intrinsic motivation and video game genre usage. A path analysis showed that the different types of video game usage were directly influenced by players' intrinsic motivations, which were also reinforced by players' flow experiences of enjoyment. However, the path model with a multiple group approach provided no strong evidence for gender differences in the relationships between the variables of interest.

멀티미디어 정보 표현에 있어서 서로 다른 미디어간의 동기화를 효과적으로 처리하는 것이 아주 중요하다. 멀티미디어 특성이 적용된 게임 개발에 있어서 각각의 시각 객체들이 시간 경과에 따라 공간 영역에서 동시에 움직여야 하므로 게임에서 필요한 멀티미디어적인 게임 요소들을 게임 운용상에 적절히 배치시키기 위해서는 게임 장면을 통한 시간과 공간 개념의 동기화가 필요하고 게임 객체 자신이 가지고 있는 시공간 특성이 논리적으로 설계되어 게임을 운용시켜야 한다. 따라서 멀티미디어 시스템에서 혼합된 형태의 미디어로 구성된 데이터의 표현을 위해서는 객체가 나타내는 상대적인 위치와 상대적인 시간을 나타내 주는 공간 합성과 시간 합성을 명시할 수 있는 정형화된 표현 연구가 요구된다. 간(刊)기존 연구들은 대부분 시간적 동기화와 공간적 동기화 각각에 대한 표현에 많이 치우쳐 있으므로 시간과 공간이 통합된 미디어들의 동기화 표현에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 시공간이 통합되지 않는 기존의 멀티미디어 표현법을 게임 개발에 적용할 때에는 게임에 사용되는 미디어 객체간의 원활한 동기화 표현이 쉽지 않다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 게임 시나리오 스케치에서 나타난 게임 객체들의 시공간 개념이 적절히 표현될 수 있는 정형적 연구가 필요하다. 간(刊)본 논문에서는 시간 개념과 공간 개념이 통합된 형태의 시공간 동기화를 표현하기 위하여 명세 단계에서 멀티미디어 데이터가 시간 및 공간 개념을 적절히 변형하여 표현될 수 있도록 시간 및 공간 동기화가 통합된 새로운 표현법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 게임 요소들의 시간적, 공간적 동기화를 표현하기 위한 방법을 언명으로 정의하고 시공간 관계성에 대한 확장을 제시한다. 간(刊)본 논문이 제안하는 언명 기반 멀티미디어 객체의 시공간 동기화 모델(an Assertion-based Multimedia objects Spatio-TEmporal Synchronization model : AMSTES)는 시간과 공간 모두에 적용되는 게임 객체들의 시공간 동기화 표현 방법과 이를 이용하여 실제 실행 가능한 코드 생성을 위한 시공간 공식을 제공한다.

This study analyzed the causes of over-flow of adolescent games as loneliness, lack of self-control, parents-open communication, peer-emotional support and the game motivation(immerse, social relations, achievement). For analysis, the research data, 'Game User Panel Research(1 to 4 years)', was provided by Korea Creative Content Agency. As a major result, adolescence loneliness and lack of self-control directly affected game over-flow, and the game's achievement motive in their relation of influence was mediated. Over time, the structure of the relationship between the cause and the effect has shown mostly consistent results.

This study looked at the influence of MMORPG's motivation on interpersonal competence through MMORPG's social usage. For this, 496 surveys were retrieved. As a result, the social usage of MMORPG was completely mediated in the relationship between motivation and interpersonal competence. The social usage of MMORPG has a positive full mediation effect on the relationship between the social relationships motivation and the interpersonal competence. And Immersion/Escapism motivation, the social usage of MMORPG has reduced the negative effect on the interpersonal competence.

MMORPG게임의 구현에 있어서 가장 큰 문제의 하나는 서버와 연결된 클라이언트들 사이의 동기화이다. 이를 위해서 MMORPG게임에서는 grid-based filtering을 적용하여 동기화 문제를 해결하고 있다. 그러나 MMORPG게임의 형태가 이인칭 관점 시점의 2D에서 일인칭 관점의 시점의 3D 게임으로 변함에 따라서 grid-based filtering으로 인한 동기화는 낭비적인 요소를 포함하게 되었다. 즉 일인칭 관점시점의 3D게임에서는 가까운 거리의 캐릭터 사이에도 주변 장애물의 영향으로 비 가시관계에 놓임에 따라서 동기화의 필요성이 없어지는 경우가 생기게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일인칭 관점 게임의 3D MMORPG게임에서 컴파일 시 각 셀을 중심으로 가시성 테스트를 수행하여 가시영역내의 셀들만을 동기화 대상으로 지정한 후 게임 진행 시 현재 셀 속의 캐릭터들에게 동기화 대상으로 설정된 셀 속의 클라이언트들만을 동기화 시켜줌으로서 통신량을 줄여주는 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, e-sports has been receiving social attention. Game leadership is a necessary skill to perform effective game tasks, and it is very important to e-sports game and improve teamwork. As a result, there is a need to identify psychosocial factor that promote game leadership. This study tried to examine how game motivation, game efficacy, and psychological factors(self-control, social intelligence, self-esteem) reported to have an important effect on leadership have relation with game leadership to MOBA genre users who were known to consider role of game leadership as important factor. We used data from 196 adolescents using MOBA games for surveys. As a result of analysis, internet game time, game efficacy, and social intelligence had a positive relationship with game leadership. And game motivation(social, exploration and escape) also had a positive effect on game leadership. But self-control, self-esteem and some game motivations(acquisition, achievement) was not significant.

This case study aimed to investigate changes in adolescents' awareness of the motivation behind their excessive internet gaming after group music psychotherapy. Five middle school students participated in six 60-minute group sessions over 4 weeks. The group music psychotherapy program was developed to help participants understand their implicit reasons for excessive internet gaming. Verbal responses were obtained from pre-program and post-program interviews and original lyrics created by participants during program were collected for analysis. Obtained data were analyzed in terms of emotional and cognitive aspects in relation to the participants' awareness of the motivation behind their excessive gaming. The results showed that song writing as creative musical process allowed participants to be aware of positive and negative influence of gaming on themselves and express their motivation to change their perception on gaming behavior. Also, the participants reported that the use of musical product for their daily lives could be an effective coping strategy to manage their gaming behaviors and an alternative for gaming. The findings from this study support that group music psychotherapy can be an effective approach to promote awareness of adolescents' motives for excessive internet gaming and to help adolescents better manage their gaming behaviors.
