Abstract

Previous literature reviews have provided important insights into social game addictions, but the issue still needs to be examined from other directions such as the distribution of research purposes. For this purpose, 61 papers from selected journals were analyzed by a meta-analysis method. Specifically, this study poses the following three research questions: (1) What are the major of research purposes and methodologies? (2) What are the highly cited articles in studies of social game addictions? Results showed five new findings: (1) the research purpose of most social game addictions studies focuses on investigating the effect, followed by evaluating the influence of social game addictions. (2) Surveys and experimental methods were the preferred research methods, regardless of whether the research purpose focused on investigating or evaluation. (3) Social game addictions studies are most prevalent at the game users, higher education institutions, followed by schools. (4) Social game addictions studies most frequently supports researcher in the professions and applied sciences, followed by humanities, formal sciences and social sciences. (5) The most highly cited articles fall into the categories of investigating the effects and followed by evaluating the influence, designing a model and evaluating the effects of social game addictions. In this regard, this study of issues in social game addictions presents findings that can help supplement linkages with previous studies and forms an important reference base to pursue deeper academic discussions in the current research fields. These results and findings not only to supplement understanding of social game addictions based on different and important viewpoints, but also to provide useful insights for researchers and educators into issues related to social game addictions studies in future.

본 연구는 소셜게임중독에 대한 연구 경향과 특징에 대한 선행연구 고찰을 토대로 살펴보고 향후 연구를 위한 시사점을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 61개의 연구논문을 선택하여 메타분석을 실시하였다. 특히, 본 연구는 다음과 같은 연구문제를 갖고 있다. 1) 주요 연구 목적과 방법론은 무엇일까? 2) 어떤 연구가 가장 높게 인용이 되었을까? 그 결과, 1) 소셜게임 중독에서 가장 많이 연구한 주제는 소셜게임중독을 평가함에 의한 효과성을 규명하는 것이었다. 2) 조사 혹은 평가 형태의 연구임에도 불구하고 가장 선호하는 연구방법은 설문조사와 실험법이었다. 3) 소셜게임 중독 연구 대상은 주로 고등학생과 대학생이 피험자로 선정되어 연구하였다. 4) 소셜게임 중독 연구는 인문, 사회과학 분야의 연구자들이 빈번하게 연구하였다. 5) 가장 높게 인용한 논문은 영향을 분석하고 모형을 설계하여 소셜게임중독의 효과를 평가하는 효과성 연구에 치우쳐 있다. 그래서 소셜게임중독에서 주요 논쟁은 이전 연구를 보완하고 현재 연구분야에서 더 깊은 학술적 논쟁을 추구하는 중요한 기초를 제공한다. 본 연구는 서로 다른 중요한 관점에서 소셜게임 중독을 이해하는데 도움을 주었을 뿐만 아니라 향후 소셜게임 중독과 관련된 연구자와 교육자에게 유용한 시사점을 제공한다.
