Abstract

The government enacted shutdown system in the fall of 2011. It was to secure a right to sleep for the youth and prevent them from being addicted to game. The opinion on the system was dichotomized: gamers were against it for the reason that shutdown system was not effective while non-gamers like parents thought that it was a measure to prevent game addiction. The trust of the public on the government is influenced by the factors of moral and competence. That is, if the policy chosen by the government is effective, the public come to trust their government more. Focusing on the factors of the government competence, this study examined to know how the effectiveness and efficiency of governmental policies have impact on the public trust on the government. Particularly this study looked carefully into what factors of political effectiveness have impact on the trust by group (group with and against the shutdown system). Through this study some implication could be obtained for the difference in trust between two groups.

여성가족부는 2011년 10월부터 온라인게임에 대한 셧다운제를 실시하였다. 셧다운제는 게임 과몰입을 방지하고 청소년의 수면권을 보호하는 것을 정책 목표로 내세웠지만, 셧다운제가 과연 청소년들의 게임 과몰입을 해결할 수 있는지, 정책의 실효성 있는 집행이 가능한지에 대해 많은 반론이 존재하였다. 본 연구는 게이머와 비게이머간에 셧다운제 정책 효과에 대한 인식 차이가 존재하는지, 그리고 셧다운제의 실시가 게이머와 비게이머의 정부 신뢰에 대한 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치었는지를 살펴보도록 하였다. 설문 조사 결과, 게이머는 셧다운제에 대해 부정적으로 보고 정부신뢰가 감소되었으며, 비게이머들은 셧다운제를 긍정적으로 보고 정부신뢰가 증가되는 효과가 존재하였다. 즉 셧다운제는 비게이머들이 정책효과를 믿으면서 실시한 정책으로, 막상 정책대상자들인 게이머들은 정책 효과를 인정하지 않는 성격을 지니는 정책으로서의 특성을 지닌다.
