User-centered design and Experience Design are emerging in the design area. Therefore, the Role-Playing Method has been actively utilized in the process of design development. But the terms of Role-Playing Method which follow these trends. has not been integrated. Further, it is hard to utilize the process of design development because the process method is not settled yet. Therefore, this study is into two parts of the research: Defining the concept of Role-Playing and the experiment of Role-Playing. Firstly, defining concept part is to research the design method corresponds to a wide range of Role-Playing that has a similar definition. After then, analyzed the examples of Role-Playing Methods which was derived matrix from Role-Playing classification. With this process, two axes of the matrix have been produced such as role·scenario and puppet. Through the analysis of the utility and vulnerability of the Role-Playing classification matrix, this study was able to propose the using step of the Role-Playing in the double diamond model. Secondly, two experiments were conducted in the experiment part. Through the pilot experiment explored the possibility of a study of the Role-Playing Method. In the second experiment, the process was conducted with Role-Playing classification matrix. As a result, each Role-Playing has different insights. In terms of design, different aspects of composing elements were found. Plus, in the position of the user, Role-Playing are can observe different parts of user's cognition between acting and puppet. Thus, the role-playing was proven to be useful to find out the point of improvement and insight in service from different perspectives and it resulted in the role playing which can be utilized selectively according to the type of service.

As today's "ninth art", role-playing games recognized by most players due to their surreal themes and sustained reflection on social diseases. Through precise control of story-telling and game visuals, players develop an avatar identification during role-playing game. Based on Lacan's mirror stage theory, a new self-identity mechanism is established under the guidance of role-playing games. As a "player", the subject's interpretation of himself is shifted by the game order, and the subject identifies with the role-playing game while at the same time being structured by the desire of role-playing game. The immersive experience and emotional guidance of role-playing games all point to the most instinctive human desires. The psychoanalytic theory from Lacan's perspective explains the source of players' desire, and the expression of players' desire in the game. It also plays an important role in the emotional rendering and identity aspects of role-playing games. This paper is to establish that role-playing games do have an impact on the player's self-identity through a Lacanian psychoanalytic reading of role-playing games.

An analysis was carried out for this study to figure out if there exists any differences in the model consumers accept for commercialized MP3-playing clothing and bio-signal sensing clothing. To analyze the differences of the structural variables of the products types, t-test was conducted with SPSS 15.0 package and multi-group analysis with AMOS 5.0 to find out the differences of each path goes with product types in structural equation model. In analytical results of effective sample of 557 copies of questionnaire, consumers' were highly aware of MP3-playing clothing in perceived ease of use, while they were aware relatively high of bio-signal sensing clothing in perceived usefulness, attitudes, consumer acceptance. The perceived value which was input to find out consumers awareness about sale price of commercialized products, was proven to do very important moderating role in forming consumers' attitudes and acceptance intention. Besides, consumers showed a difference in path in accepting model goes with product types. In bio-signal sensing clothing case, 'the perceived usefulness$\rightarrow$attitudes' path which was backed up in MP3-playing clothing was rejected, and 'perceived value$\rightarrow$attitudes' path appeared relatively high with moderating role of perceived value higher than MP3-playing clothing. Considering the results above, as the smart clothing is in the initiative commercialization stage while consumers were in the inquiry stage into awareness or information necessary in the course of purchase decision-making, and so an effective commercialization strategy seems to be necessary.

This study looks at the social implications of gaming disorder by considering the situation in Korea. Focusing on specificity of game genres, this study analyzed two aspects of the game playing effect-positive(cognitive needs) and negative(game addiction)-and suggested directions for game regulation policies and game addiction studies, since game playing effects are closely related to game regulatory policy. To analyze game effects and attitudes to regulations, this study performed regression analysis based on the online survey. Results show that game playing effects and attitudes toward game regulation differ based on the nature of game genres. While longer gaming increased the effect of addiction, it also increased cognitive needs. Playing roleplaying, Aeon of Strife, and strategy game genres(RAS), which are subject to game regulation, increased game addiction levels but simultaneously contributed to increased cognitive needs. While playing augmented reality genres positively affected cognitive needs, it also showed favorable attitudes to general game regulation.
