This study explains motivation and purpose of adolescents' game use based on Adler's individual psychology. Through in-depth interviews, it was found that the game is a field to reveal their need for approval in the social community and a means of expressing the attitude toward their life. In addition, need for approval shows a difference in adaptive/maladaptive attitude according to the social interest. This means that the role of peers, parents, and society is important in order for an individual's need for approval to produce social adaptive outcomes. It is necessary to acknowledge the game as an important area of self-actualization in which an adolescent is internalizing social interest and recognizing their self and it is required to switch from an attitude of exclusion, disdain and ignorance to an attitude of openness and tolerance and adaptive intervention.

A growing body of research has focused on the negative effects of Internet gaming. This issue has become an increased public health concern in Korea. However, little is known regarding the positive effect of Internet gaming and its etiology. This study examined the effects of gaming motivations on gaming behaviors based on self-determination theory. Specifically, we investigated the associations of intrinsic and extrinsic gaming motivations with adaptive and maladaptive game uses. A cross-sectional data collected from a sample of 3,000 young adults using 2016 Korean Video Gaming Survey was analyzed. Measurement model analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted as primary analyses. The findings highlight the different effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on gaming behaviors, such as adaptive and maladaptive game uses. Intrinsic motivations, such as experience-seeking and achievement-seeking, were associated with adaptive game use. Meanwhile, extrinsic motivations, such as sensation-seeking and monetary reward-seeking, were associated with maladaptive game use. The findings provide a better understanding of video gaming in light of both adaptive and maladaptive game uses. The implications for practice and policy were discussed.

Using the TAM, this study investigates the impact of Perceived Usefulness(PU), Perceived Ease of Use(PEOU) of the Animal-Crossing users on game satisfaction(DOS), immersion(DOI), and the relationship between user's attitude and intention through the google online survey. The decorative elements of the game generate a healing effect and more than half of the survey participants share game activities with the online community in terms of PU. In the case of PEOU, the survey participants positively evaluate the technological advancement such as graphics and sounds of the game. In addition, both high degree of satisfaction and immersion in the game have significant correlations with the intention for replaying the game and intention for recommending the game to others.

A component base technology can maintain effectively and save time and expenses of development. In this thesis we found many components including the setup/execution component to construct game sites and analyzed and designed the components by the use of UML. If programmers develop the game site by using the component that distributes, setups and executes the game program by one click and other components, they can manage the game site easily, distribute the game program effectively and offer a convenient user interface. Also, by the reuse of these components, programmers can construct the game site easily and economically.

The purpose of this study is to analyze user-generated rules in online games and to define the way of players' identities are developed. This study focuses on the online game League of Legends, which originated from use map system. Based on rule theory, this study analyzes the characteristics of user-generated rules. As the result, this study proves that the main rule of online game is not the rules made by developers, but the emergent rules made by players. Through rule-detection and rule-selection process, user-generated rules change the game system. Therefore, the result of this study expects to show meaningful roles of players in game system.

The game for education should newly be newly recognized in the view of user and development to bring out the particularity of game for education combined with educational factors and interest is needed. This study is conducted to concretely look at the effects of factors to reuse edutainment contents and educational games on reusing of the service, and examine characteristic difference between the factors and the degree of importance and weight. In addition, by structurally analyzing the factors the influence of reuse factors of game for education can be observed to propose methods to activated industry of game for education. The purpose of this research is to propose marketable method to increase the rate of reuse and to sustain consistent use of game for education.

Using aesthetics of Rosencranz as the basis, this study contains the peculiarities of 'ugliness' and the obscured conceptual meaning of 'avant-garde', 'grotesque', and 'decadence' that are being utilized under ambiguous significance are defined through modern fashion and fashion of online game characters. Forms of 'ugliness' expressed in modern fashion and in games characters display distortion of form through incongruity, unbalance, disproportion and disharmony, and with this lack of form and expressional imprecision, both contain the elements of comical characteristics of vulgarity and repugnance. The difference in 'ugliness' between modern fashion and game character fashion is, the significance of 'ugliness' being expressed in modern fashion challenges new concepts by refusing tradition and recovering the human nature that has become turbid. On the other hand, 'ugliness' in game character fashion complements the story of the game that uses legends, fantasies or novels as its basis. Opposed to the significance of recovering human nature that is displayed in modern fashion, in order to terminate the opposing game character, the fashion of game characters exaggerates the form of modern fashion with added brutality. In addition, with the advantage of virtual reality that allows a more flexible expression than in the real word, images created are more sensational and excessive use of grotesque images are being expressed.

That is because 1)there are few professionals, 2)most of the companies are small-scaled, and 3)there are security reasons. Therefore, it should be significant if we have software design techniques which make it possible to reuse the existing code when developing a network game so that we could save a lot of efforts. In this paper, the author analyzes the demand through the case in the client's design of the network game based on DirectX and proposes the effective software design methods for reusable code based on the creative patterns application in the GoF in the class design.
