Abstract

This study examined the influence of university students' stress in their daily lives on game addiction, and investigated whether the human relation skills has a moderating effect on their daily life stress. For this study, surveys of 222 university students were collected and analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program. The results of this study are as follows: First, the participants displayed lower human relation skills as the level of stress from the studies increased. In contrast, the participants displayed higher human relation skills as the level of stress from future plans and family relations increased. Second, as the level of game addiction increased, human relation skills were found to be lower. Third, the university students' stress from daily lives had a static effect on game addiction. The participants displayed tendency of game addiction as they had high levels of stress from their studies, financial issues, future plans, values, family relations, and human relations with people apart from their family. Among the listed factors of stress, the stress from the studies most strongly influenced the participants to be addicted to games. Fourth, among the sub-factors of stress in the university students, issues in future plans and family relations significantly control the game addiction. Studies on this area has been insufficient. From the study, it is found that in order to prevent university students to be addicted to games, they must cope well with their stress. Furthermore, this study carries its significance in finding the results that human relation skills contribute as a part of dealing with stress.

본 연구는 대학생의 일상생활 스트레스가 게임중독에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 일상생활 스트레스가 게임중독에 미치는 영향에 대한 대인관계기술의 중재효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해 대학생 222명으로부터 수집된 자료를 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 학업으로 인한 스트레스 수준이 높을수록 대인관계 기술은 낮고, 자신의 장래와 가족관계로 인한 스트레스 수준이 높을수록 대인관계 기술은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유의한 수준은 아니었지만 게임중독 수준이 높을수록 대인관계기술은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대학생의 일상생활 스트레스는 게임중독에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이들은 학업, 경제, 장래, 가치관, 가족관계, 가족외의 대인관계로 인한 스트레스 수준이 높을수록 게임에 빠지는 성향이 강했는데, 이중 학업문제가 가장 큰 영향력을 가지고 있었다. 넷째, 대인 관계기술은 대학생의 일상생활 스트레스의 하위요인 중 장래문제와 가족관계 문제가 게임중독에 미치는 영향력을 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 지금까지의 연구가 미흡했던 영역으로 대학생이 게임중독으로 빠지는 것을 예방하려면 무엇보다도 그들 자신이 스트레스에 잘 대처해야 하고, 그의 일환으로 대인관계 기술함양이 이에 일조할 수 있음을 밝혀냈다는 의의를 갖는다.
