본 연구는 트롤링의 유형 중 하나인 그리핑을 목격해 본 경험이 있는 플레이어를 중심으로 설문을 진행해, 사회 심리 현상과 함께 결과를 살펴보고 대처방안에 대한 개선안을 제시하고자 한 것이다. 그리핑은 트롤링의 유형 중 하나로 고의로 게임을 패배하게 만드는 행위이다. 그리핑의 원인으로 게임 내 동조현상이 발생하지 않는다는 점과 복수의 딜레마가 부재하고, 게임의 시스템이 매슬로우의 욕구단계 중 안전욕구를 충족하지 못한다는 점이 해당할 수 있다. 그리핑을 예방하기 위해서는 트롤링의 유형에 대해 개발사 측에서 명칭과 의미를 정립하고 구분 기준과 처벌 수위를 체계적으로 관리할 필요가 있다. 또한, 적발된 그리퍼에게 확실한 처벌을 내려 그리핑을 반복할 수 없도록 해야 함을 제안한다.
