Abstract

This case study aimed to investigate changes in adolescents' awareness of the motivation behind their excessive internet gaming after group music psychotherapy. Five middle school students participated in six 60-minute group sessions over 4 weeks. The group music psychotherapy program was developed to help participants understand their implicit reasons for excessive internet gaming. Verbal responses were obtained from pre-program and post-program interviews and original lyrics created by participants during program were collected for analysis. Obtained data were analyzed in terms of emotional and cognitive aspects in relation to the participants' awareness of the motivation behind their excessive gaming. The results showed that song writing as creative musical process allowed participants to be aware of positive and negative influence of gaming on themselves and express their motivation to change their perception on gaming behavior. Also, the participants reported that the use of musical product for their daily lives could be an effective coping strategy to manage their gaming behaviors and an alternative for gaming. The findings from this study support that group music psychotherapy can be an effective approach to promote awareness of adolescents' motives for excessive internet gaming and to help adolescents better manage their gaming behaviors.

본 연구는 그룹 음악심리치료에 참여한 게임 과몰입 청소년의 게임 이용동기 인식 변화를 탐구하고자 실시한 사례연구이다. 그룹 음악심리치료 프로그램은 회기당 60분씩 총 6회기 시행되었고, 연구 참여자는 게임 과몰입 청소년 5명이었다. 연구 자료는 세션에 참여하면서 나타난 참여자의 음악적·언어적 반응, 프로그램에서 작업한 가사와 세션 종결 후 사후 인터뷰를 통해 수집한 참여자의 언어 보고이다. 자료분석 결과 참여자들은 공감되는 가사에 대해 토의하면서 자신의 내재된 부적 정서와 관계적 어려움에 대해 직면할 수 있었고, 가사 창작 작업을 하면서 게임에 몰입했던 과거의 동기에 대해 인식할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 음악중재를 통해 참여자들은 자신의 게임 과몰입 행동에 대해 인식함과 동시에 게임 과몰입 행동 조절이 어려운 이유를 이해할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 자각이 게임 이용에 대한 인식 변화에 도움이 되었고, 실제 게임 이용 행동에 있어 변화가 있었다고 참여자들은 사후 인터뷰에서 보고하였다. 치료사는 치료회기에서 완성한 음악 창작물을 일상에서도 활용하도록 제공하였는데, 이로 인해 참여자들은 게임행동 조절이 용이했다고 보고했다. 연구 결과 그룹 음악심리치료 프로그램이 게임 과몰입 청소년의 게임 이용동기에 대한 인식을 가능하게 했고, 게임이용 행동 변화에도 긍정적 영향을 미쳤음을 시사한다.
