Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the influential factors of family function, parent-child communication, and family satisfaction on Korean adolescents game use. Methods: The participants were 940 adolescents in Seoul. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The study variables were family function, parent-child communication, family satisfaction, and game use. Results: Game use was different by gender, age, time to spend in game during weekdays and weekend. Game use had significant negative correlations with family cohesion, family adaptability, communication with father, communication with mother, and family satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis showed that 20.3% of the game use was explained by gender, communication with mother, hours of playing games during weekdays, family adaptability, and hours of playing games during weekend. Conclusions: These results suggest that being male and lack of communication with mother, low family adaptability, game hours during weekdays and weekend can be potential risk factors for excessive game use in the adolescents, which should by considered in developing a prevention program for excessive game use focused on family factors.

This study examined whether game usage would alleviate players' aggressive tendencies. Other game-related variables, psychological care factors (adaptive game use tendency, game self-efficacy, and life self-efficacy), and psychological problem factors (loneliness and depression) were controlled for determination of the effect. We drew on the catharsis theory from therapeutic psychology literature to explain how game usage contributes to the alleviation of aggressive tendencies. Over two weeks data were collected from 918 participants online. The results indicated that gaming activity had a significant effect on aggression. Higher levels of game and life self-efficacy, as well as adaptive game use tendencies, decreased the degree of aggression. Likewise, higher levels of loneliness and depression reduced the degree of aggression. Results and implications are discussed.

본 연구는 모바일 온라인 게임에 대해 중국 이용자들을 대상으로 이용 가치 및 편익을 평가하는 속성인 이용추구성향, 이용혜택, 서비스품질, 시스템품질 등이 이용 만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 규명하였다. 실증분석결과, 이용 가치 및 편익의 4가지 속성에 대한 구성요인들이 모두 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 상황에서 이용혜택과 서비스품질 속성에서는 게임유형에 따라 구성요인의 영향정도가 다르게 나타나고 있다. 이용추구성향에서는 게임유형 간에 차이 없이 혁신추구와 관계추구가 비슷하게 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 이용혜택에서는 게임유형 간에 차이를 보여 싱글플레이어 게임에서는 유대감, 멀티플레이어게임에서는 성취감이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 서비스품질에서는 게임유형 간에 차이를 보여 싱글플레이어게임에서는 게임용이성, 멀티플레이어게임에서는 게임기능성이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 시스템품질에서는 게임유형 간에 차이 없이 이용편의성이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 게임 산업 내 기업들에게 게임의 개발과 충성도를 제고하기 위한 전략을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 게임이용자의 게임행동에 영향을 주는 요인 중 성격특성을 중심으로 분석하고 인구통계학적 변수에 따라 어떠한 차이가 나타나는지 알아보고자 진행되었다. 연구 결과 Big 5 성격특성은 게임이용에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 성실성의 경우 선용적 게임이용에는 대부분 긍정적으로, 문제적 게임이용에는 대부분 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 개인적 특성에서도 게임이용에 유의한 영향을 나타내는 변인들이 발견되었는데, 게임 플랫폼과 게임 빈도 그리고 직업 등에서 의미 있는 효과가 나타났다. 후속 연구에서는 게임의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 게임 또는 플랫폼의 유형과 같은 변인을 구체화하여 그 유형이 게임이용자의 특성과 게임이용 행동 간의 관계에서 어떠한 역할을 하는지 파악하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

As video games gain popularity and become a normal part of home entertainment, concern about youth access to inappropriate games continues to grow. Some people have claimed that violent video games influence children's aggressive behavior and that violent video games have some responsibility for violence in the school. In response to people's concerns, the video game industry created a video game rating system in 1995 to help parents decide which video games are appropriate for their children. This study investigated whether parents were aware of the video game rating system and how often they have used it when selecting video games for their children. This study attempted to find relationships among parents' attitudes toward video games, their guidance styles for their children's video game play, and their use of the video game rating system. This study found that most parents have used the video game ratings very frequently when they select video games for their children. But many parents still don't understand the video game rating system. This study showed that parents who had more negative attitudes or less positive attitudes toward video games were more likely to impose restrictions on their children's video game play and to use the video game rating system as a means to restrict their children's access to violent video games.

이 연구는 학교 장면에서 교사들의 게임 인식 유형과 학생 게임 이용 수용도의 관계를 이해하기 위해 수행되었다. 전국 초 중 고등학교 교사와 상담교사 및 전문 상담사 250명을 대상으로 설문조사한 결과 네가지 게임 인식 유형은 성별, 연령, 게임 경험 유무, 게임에 대한 태도, 게임에 대한 대응, 게임이 학생의 학업에 미치는 영향 인식에서 차이가 있었다. 교사의 게임 인식 유형에 따라 학생 게임 이용 수용도를 비교한 결과 '관리/감독의 필요성', '적극 활용의사', '관심과 확인', '부적응 대체활동으로 인정' 에서 유형간 차이가 있었다. 그러나 '수용 효능감'에서는 모든 유형이 낮은 수준을 보였다. 끝으로 학교 현장에서 학생 게임 이용에 대한 교사의 수용도를 높이기 위해 어떠한 지원을 제공하는 것이 효과적일지 논의하였다.

Among Korea's content industries, the game industry is growing in size to the extent that it can be said to be a representative export-benefiting industry. Accordingly, many users are immersed in the game, and furthermore, they are addicted. This study aims to derive factors for social game users to continue to use by identifying the factors of domestic social network game users' attachment to social network games and empirically studying the causal relationship between these factors and the intention to continue to use them through immersion and addiction. To this end, a research model was presented that applies the main variables of the attachment theory of social network game users to games. The research model of this study surveyed general college students at S University in Seoul who tended to use social network games. As a result of the study, first, it was found that perceived stability had a significant effect on immersion and addiction. Second, it was found that perceived avoidance had a significant effect on immersion and did not have a significant effect on addiction. Third, perceived anxiety was found to have a significant effect on immersion, and it was found that it did not significantly affect addiction. Fourth, it was found that immersion did not significantly affect addiction, and it was found that it had a significant effect on continuous use intention. Fifth, addiction was found to have a significant effect on the intention to continue use. Through this, social network game users' attachment to games can provide useful implications for social network game companies to become attached to existing consumers, spreading social network game users, and improving the possibility of continuous use.

As individual variables, game user' motivation, self-control, and self-esteem were included in the analysis. As family variables, communications with mothers, parental control of children's computer use and parental internet use were examined, as school variables, school adjustment and teacher's supervision of children's computer use, and as peer variables, peer group's attitude toward computer games were used. The sample consisted of 994 fifth and sixth grade children. Statistics and methods used for the data analysis were Cronbach's alpha, frequency, percentage, two way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and Hierarchical Regression. Several major results were found from the analysis. First, boys were addicted more than girls. No difference was found in the addiction tendency between the 5th graders and the 6th graders. Second, game users' motivation, that is, their interest-amusement motive, avoidance motive and aggressive motive, had a positive correlation with their game addiction tendency. However, self-control and self-esteem had a negative correlation with children's game addiction tendency. Third, problematic communications with mothers and parental control of children's computer use had a positive correlation with children's game addiction tendency. Open communications with mothers had a negative correlation with children's game addiction tendency. Fourth, school adjusaent had a negative correlation with children's game addiction tendency. And peer group's attitude towards computer games had a positive correlation with children's game addiction tendency. Fifth, low self-control, peer group's attitude towards computer games, children's interest-amusement motive, avoidance motive, aggressive motive, school lesson adjustment, parental control of children's computer use and school nile adjustment were important predicting variables of boy's game addiction tendency. Avoidance motive, low self-control, interest-amusement motive, peer group's attitude towards computer games, and parental control of children's computer use were important predicting variables of girl's game addiction tendency.

게임에서 시나리오는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 아직까지 게임 시나리오 제작을 위한 범용적인 툴은 개발되어 있지 않다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 게임 시나리오와 일반적인 시나리오의 차이점을 알아보고 시나리오 UCC를 분석하여 게임 시나리오에 적합한 구조를 설계하였다. 또한 OSMU의 적용을 쉽게 하기 위해 XML로 게임 시나리오 구조를 정의 하였다. 정의한 시나리오 구조의 활용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 시나리오 편집기를 만들어 게임 시나리오를 작성한 후 시나리오 기반 게임 "필온라인"에 적용하였다.
