본 연구에서는 확률형 아이템과 게임 과몰입과의 관련성을 살펴보기 위해, 확률형 아이템을 성능 확률형과 치장 확률형, 그리고 비확률형 아이템을 사용하는 세 집단으로 구분 후, 집단간 게임 과몰입을 포함한 변인들의 차이를 살펴보고, 게임 과몰입에 영향을 미치는 인구통계학적, 심리사회적 변인이 무엇인지 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 게임 이용률이 가장 높은 20대를 대상(N=413)으로 인구통계학적 변인(연령, 성별), 게임 과몰입, 게임시간, 게임이용비용, 확률형아이템이용비용(이하 확률형이용비용)을 측정하고, 심리사회적 변인은 기질 및 성격, 인지정서조절, 스트레스를 Cloninger의 기질 및 성격 검사, 인지적 정서조절전략 척도, 일상생활 스트레스 척도를 사용하여 각각 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 게이머의 2/3가 확률형 아이템 게임을 즐기는 것으로 나타났으며, 여자의 비율이 남자의 비율보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아이템 유형에 따라 구분한 세 집단 간에는 게임 과몰입, 게임시간, 게임이용비용, 확률형이용비용에서 유의미한 차이가 관찰되었다. 셋째, 게임 과몰입에 영향을 미치는 변인은 게임이용비용, 게임시간, 부적응적 인지정서조절, 스트레스, 자극추구 기질과 연대감 성격으로 나타났다. 게임 과몰입을 위한 적절한 개입으로서, 게임시간, 지출비용, 정서조절과 스트레스 관리의 중요성을 확인하였고, 본 연구 결과의 일반화를 위한 후속 연구에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of the study was to identify the level of development of gaming disorder among e-sportsmen as a potential risk of their activity. Three groups were formed for the study. The first group consisted of 102 e-sportsmen aged between 18 and 32; the second group consisted of boys of the same age who, according to preliminary questionnaires, played computer games fairly frequently - at least once a week (n = 102); the third group consisted of individuals of the same gender and age, but who did not share a passion for computer games (n = 102). The study was performed using semi-structured interview during which the respondents filled out the Computer gaming disorder questionnaire developed and tested by O.M. Vidova under our supervision. Our study showed that among 102 e-sportsmen, 82,3% did not have any computer gaming disorder, only some tendency thereto. While 17,6% of e-sportsmen were characterized by a pronounced gaming disorder. E-sportsmen who prefer strategies, less than all other e-sportsmen, tend to escape from reality and accept the game role, to express their emotions through the game, and in general have the lowest level of dependence on games. Additionally, strategic e-sportsmen are most likely to study the game thoroughly and to develop themselves with it. Many Starcraft e-sportsmen tend to explore the possibilities of the game in detail and, at the same time, protect themselves from escaping into virtual reality. The risk of computer gaming disorder among e-sportsmen is largely determined by their sports achievements, the type of sports activity (individual or team), and genre of the preferred computer game.

Due to the increasing use of the internet, various social problems have been emerging, and one of them is internet gaming disorder (IGD). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether low internal motivation was present in IGD and basic psychological needs affected internal motivation. Twenty-one individuals with IGD and 21 healthy controls performed a 'motivation task' in which the avatar in virtual reality asked whether they would accept an activity in two conditions stimulating intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. The task performance was compared between the two groups, and was correlated with the Basic Psychological Needs Scale scores. Patients had a significantly lower acceptance rate of the proposal in the intrinsic motivation condition than controls, and this intrinsic motivated tendency was correlated with the satisfaction in their basic psychological needs. As with other substance use disorders, IGD was associated with a lower level of internal motivation, which was related to the dissatisfaction of basic psychological needs such as autonomy, competence, and relationship.
