Abstract

This research was conducted to find out determinant variables which can influence the degree of flow in smoking simulation game. We set up flow experience as a dependent variable. Several factors including empathy, health concern, and brainwave(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$) EEG(Electroencephalogram) as a physiological indicator, which was expected to affect flow, were set up as independent variables to perform regression analysis. As a result, empathy, health consciousness, and ${\beta}$ wave had positive influences on flow in smoking simulation game but ${\alpha}$ wave had negative effect. This research empirically analyzed users' experience and neurophysiological changes which can influence on flow in serious game and contributed to theoretical and methodological development in health-related game research.

본 연구는 건강 기능성 게임인 흡연시뮬레이션 게임의 몰입을 결정하는 요인에 대해 파악하고 이들 요인들이 몰입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 특히 게임 중에 발생하는 뇌 활동 패턴이 게임몰입과 어떠한 상관관계를 가지는지 뇌파측정과 몰입과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 게임몰입의 정도를 종속변인으로 설정하고 몰입에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 감정이입, 건강관심도, 생리적 지표인 뇌파(${\alpha},{\beta}$)를 독립변인으로 설정하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 흡연시뮬레이션 게임에서 몰입에 감정이입, 건강관심도, ${\beta}$파는 정적으로 영향을 미치고 있었으며, ${\alpha}$파의 경우 부적으로 영향을 미치고 있음이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 기능성 게임몰입에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 사용자 경험과 신경생리학적 변화에 대하여 자기 보고와 더불어 뇌파측정을 통해 실증적으로 분석하고 게임몰입의 결정요인을 규명하고 있다는 점에서 이론적 의미가 있다.
