Abstract

This study examined a pathological gaming model based on escape model. With a data set collected from 825 Korean adolescents, the associations among academic stress, depression, self-esteem, self-control, and pathological gaming were tested. Academic stress increased the degree of depression while it decreased self-esteem and self-control. The declined self-control, in turn, exacerbated pathological gaming. Results and implicaitons were discussed.

도피이론은 부정적 외부환경으로 인한 개인의 자아인식과 조절능력 상실을 과의존/중독으로 연결시키는 경로로 바라본다. 본 연구는 이를 토대로 청소년의 사회심리적 변수(학업스트레스, 우울), 인지적 변수(자존감, 자기통제)를 사용, 게임 과몰입 영향모델을 설계하고 825명의 설문데이터를 분석, 검증하였다. 그 결과, 학업스트레스는 우울감의 증가, 자존감과 자기통제의 감소를 가져왔으며 낮아진 자기통제는 게임 과몰입을 악화시키고 있었다. 이 결과는 도피이론의 외부환경과 자기조절능력 상실의 부정적 효과를 잘 설명하여 청소년 게임 과몰입에서 학업스트레스와 자기통제의 영향력에 대한 사회/정책적 관심과 연구의 필요성을 제시하고 있다.
