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.

소셜네트워크 서비스(SNS)를 사용하는 이유는 무엇일까? 게임, 정보의 검색, 시간 보내기, 단순한 반복적인 습관 등 다양한 이유가 있을 수 있겠지만, 가장 공통적인 이유는 재미(fun)이다. 그렇다면 사용자들이 SNS를 이용하면서 느끼는 재미의 개념은 무엇이며 이러한 재미는 어떻게 이루어져 있는가? 라는 의문을 갖게 된다. 재미 현상을 이해하는 것이야말로 SNS현상의 본질을 이해하는 것이 될 것이며, 향후 개발되는 SNS의 많은 부분을 보다 재미있게 만드는데 필요한 단초를 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 (1)SNS 사용자들이 어떤 종류의 재미를 느끼는지를 살펴보고, (2)재미를 구하기 위하여 어떤 행동을 하는지를 고찰하였다. 또한, (3)이러한 행동을 체계적인 설명을 위하여 SNS에서 재미를 구하는 가치 양식이 어떻게 달라지는지를 하나의 모형(재미진화모형)으로 제시하였다. 재미진화모형은 보기(seeing), 가지기(having), 하기(doing), 되기(being)4가지 단계로 이루어지며, 각 단계로 진행되면서 몰입(commitment)는 커지게 된다. 보기단계에서는 사실 모든 SNS 행동에서 사람들은 가장 먼저 "보는 것"을 통해 재미를 느낀다. 가지기(having) 단계에서는 보는 것만으로 재미를 지속하기는 어려우며, 정상적인 경우 일정기간이 지나면 그 활동의 구성요소를 소유하고 싶어한다. 하기(doing) 단계에서는 가지기의 재미는 다시 발전하여 그 활동과 직접 관련된 행동으로 나타난다. 마지막으로 되기(being) 단계에서 동일시 과정이 발전하면 보다 성숙한 형태의 재미추구 양식이 나타난다.

Although the relationship between social networking sites (SNS) use and performance has been widely studied, most of these studies have focused on comparing the SNS users' overall performance with that of non-SNS users instead of examining how using SNS midway of a task affects one's task performance. To address this research gap, an experiment was conducted to examine SNS use during a task and its influence on the performance of that task. In this experiment, the role of SNS in various situations was examined by reviewing the literature on break and performance as well as the types of breaks and tasks. Owing to its exploratory nature, this study used various types of data, such as electroencephalography interpretation data generated from a brain-computer interface, self-reported data, and data recorded by a computer. Those participants who used SNS showed an improved performance compared with those who took a short break while doing a simple task. Further analysis showed that the degree of SNS usage and engagement with SNS had positive effects on the participants' simple task performance, while social presence and reassurance of self-worth had negative and positive effects on the participants' complex task performance, respectively.

As mobile shopping has increased in the new media age, fashion consumers' decision making and product consumption processes have changed. The volume of consumer-driven information has expanded since media and social networking sites have enabled consumers to share information they obtain. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting information searching strategies and information sharing about fashion products. An online survey collected data from 466 respondents, relating to the influence of product price level and consumer SNS commitment level on information search and information sharing. Experimental design of three product price level and two consumer SNS commitment level was used. Analysis of the data identified factors in fashion information searching as ongoing searching, prepurchase web portal information search, and prepurchase marketing information search. For low-price fashion products, prepurchase product-detail influenced intention to share information. For mid-priced products, ongoing search significantly affected intention to share information. Both ongoing search and prepurchase marketing information search showed significant effects for high-price products. Consumers who are more committed to SNS engaged in significantly more searching in all aspects of information search factors. Significant interaction effect was detected for consumer SNS commitment level and product price level. When consumers with low consumer SNS commitment search for information on lower-priced fashion products, they are less likely do a prepurchase web portal information search.

The purpose of this study was to classify latent profiles based on SNS addictive tendencies of married women and to examine the effects of age, adult attachment, extrinsic motivation of the fear of missing out and marriage satisfaction. A total of 300 married women who have been using SNS participated in this study. The result indicated that there were three latent profiles for SNS addictive tendencies of married women : (1) high-risk group (2) potential-risk group (3) low-risk group. The high-risk group had high scores in all sub-areas (obsession and withdrawal symptoms, over-communication and immersion, over-consumption). The high-risk group accounted for 24.51% of the total and the potential-risk group was 44.33%, which had the highest proportion of them. While attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, extrinsic motivation of the fear of missing out, and marriage satisfaction were significant determinants of latent profiles, age was not. This study divided groups according to the characteristics of married women's SNS addiction tendencies and provided implications for counseling and education according to group characteristics, and discussed the need for various research through the development of standardized SNS addiction scale for married women.

This study set the research model to examine the correlation between Word-of-Mouth constraint factors, efforts to negotiate pertaining to these, Flow and Word-of-Mouth intent based on the theory of leisure constrain when it comes to the correlation between consumers' Word-of-Mouth constraint factors and Word-of-Mouth. Correlation among the variables were verified in an empirical manner. Results of this study are summarized as follows. After verifying the hypotheses, all the hypotheses were adopted excluding the hypotheses of two results (Hypothesis 1, hypotheses 5). Detailed results regarding this are as follows. First, the following is the effect of the Intrapersonal Constraint and Word-of-Mouth constraint factors on the Word-of-Mouth constraint negotiation effort. Interpersonal Constraint and Structural Constraint exert positive (-) effect on the Word-of-Mouth constraint negotiation effort. In case of Intrapersonal Constraint, negative (-) effect was demonstrated. Thus, this was statistically significant although dismissed from hypothesis verification. Second, the following is the result of examining the structural correlation between Word-of-Mouth constraint negotiation effort, Flow and Word-of-Mouth. Word-of-Mouth constraint negotiation effort exerts positive (-) effect on the Flow, but it was not statistically effective in case of the Word-of-Mouth. Lastly, it is possible to see that the Flow plays the role of a medium since it exerted positive (-) effect on the Word-of-Mouth. Results of this study are expected to provide key theoretical and working level implications as well as general understanding of the Word-of-Mouth constraint factors, consumers' Flow and Word-of-Mouth.

Recently, as the income level of consumers increases, interest in tourism products has increased, competition among tourist destinations has been fierce. Storytelling ads are drawing attracting attention as one of the ways to establish differentiated positioning for tourism products. This study investigates the role of the involvement of tourism activity in the storytelling ads effects, and examines the effects of the attitude toward storytelling ads on tourist destination commitments, visit intention and SNS WOM (word-of-mouth) intention. This study also empirically tests the role of mental simulation in the relationship between storytelling ads attitudes and visit intention. A total of 255 usable responses were obtained from a sample of 270 consumers aged 18 or older in South Korea. Following the two-stage approach of model validation, measurement validity of each construct appearing in the structural model and hypothesized structural paths were tested. The findings show that all hypotheses are supported except H3 that posits the impact of attitude toward the storytelling ads on visit intention and mental simulation showed a moderate effect on the relationship between ads attitude and visit intention in the case of rational appeal. This study suggests that the production of storytelling ads of tourist destinations can be effective strategy to improve regional competitiveness and increase visit and SNS WOM intention.

According to the clear potential of mobile banking growth, many studies related to this are being conducted, but in Korea, it is concentrated on the analysis of technical factors or consumers' intentions, behaviors, and satisfaction. In addition, even though it has a strong customer base of 20s, there are few studies that have been conducted specifically for this customer group. In order for mobile banking to take a leap forward, a strategy to secure various perspectives is needed not only through research on itself but also through research on external factors affecting mobile banking. Therefore, this study analyzes impulsiveness, credit card use, and SNS addiction among various external factors that can significantly affect mobile banking in their 20s. This study examines whether the relationship between impulsiveness and mobile banking usage depends on whether or not a credit card is used, and checks whether a customer's impulsiveness is possible by examining whether a credit card is used. Based on this, it is possible to establish new standards for classification of marketing target groups of mobile banking. After finding out the static or unsuitable relationship between whether to use a credit card and impulsiveness, we want to indirectly predict the customer's impulsiveness through whether to use a credit card or not to use a credit card. It also verifies the mediating effect of SNS addiction in the relationship between impulsiveness and mobile banking usage. For this analysis, the collected data were conducted according to research problems using the SPSS Statistics 25 program. The findings are as follows. First, positive urgency has been shown to have a significant static effect on mobile banking usage. Second, whether to use credit cards has shown moderating effects in the relationship between fraudulent urgency and mobile banking usage. Third, it has been shown that all subfactors of impulsiveness have significant static relationships with subfactors of SNS addiction. Fourth, it has been confirmed that the relationship between positive urgency, SNS addiction, and mobile banking usage has total effect and direct effect. The first result means that mobile banking usage may be high if positive urgency is measured relatively high, even if the multi-dimensional impulsiveness scale is low. The second result indicates that mobile banking usage rates were not affected by the independent variable, negative urgency, but were found to have a significant static relationship with negative urgency when using credit cards. The third result means that SNS is likely to become addictive if lack of premeditation or lack of perseverance is high because it provides instant enjoyment and satisfaction as a mobile-based service. This also means that SNS can be used as an avoidance space for those with negative urgency, and as an emotional expression space for those with high positive urgency.
