게임이용자의 자기통제와 해석수준이 게임중독에 미치는 영향

국문 초록 (Abstract)

게임중독은 자기통제 상실의 현대적 지표로서 동료관계 및 교우관계와 같은 사회적 관계맺음을 포함한 개인의 일상 전반에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 게임이용자들의 자기통제수준과 해석수준에 따라 게임중독수준의 차이를 살펴보았으며, 또한 자기통제수준과 해석수준의 상호작용이 게임중독에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 함께 탐색해보았다. 이를 위해, 게임이용자를 대상으로 온라인 서베이를 실시하였고, 총 918의 응답자를 분석대상으로 선정하였다. 연구결과, 낮은 자기통제수준과 낮은 해석수준을 가진 이용자들의 경우, 상대적으로 높은 자기통제수준 및 높은 해석수준을 가지는 경우에 비해, 더욱 높은 수준의 게임중독을 나타냈다. 또한 자기통제수준이 높을 경우에는 해석수준에 관계없이 게임중독수준이 낮았으나, 자기통제수준이 낮은 경우, 해석수준이 높고 낮음에 따라 게임중독에 미치는 영향일 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 해석수준이 하나의 조절변수로 기능하고 있음을 알려주는 결과로, 이러한 결과를 통해 개인의 자기통제와 해석수준의 변화를 통해 자율적인 규제를 통한 게임중독완화의 가능성을 논의해 볼 수 있다.

The current study examined how different level of self-constol and construal level influences game users' game addiction. Also we explored the interaction effect between the individual's self-control and construal level on game addiction. To answer the research questions, we conducted an online survey and total 918 participants were selected for the final analysis. According to the results, users with low level of self-control and low-level construal showed higher level of game addiction. In addition, we found a significant interaction effect between self-control and construal-level on game addiction. In high self-control group, game addiction level was low regardless of level of self-construal. However, in low self-control group, the level of construal-level affected game addiction. We found that construal-level played an important mediating variable. These findings suggest a noble insight for autonomous control in alleviatinggame addiction by changing one's level of self-control and self-construal.
