본 연구에서는 친구들과 게임을 수행하는 것이 타인에 대한 신뢰도 및 미래 행복도에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 살펴본다. 지스타(G-Star)에 참가한 청소년 400명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 청소년들의 미래 행복도에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 친구와 게임을 수행하는지 여부는 타인에 대한 신뢰도에 영향을 미치고, 궁극적으로 미래 행복도에 영향을 미치고 있다. 친구들과 같이 게임을 즐기는 것은 타인에 대한 신뢰도를 높이는 사회적인 활동의 성격을 지니고 있고, 이러한 성격으로 인하여 궁극적으로 미래 행복도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 볼 수 있다.
