Abstract

Computer game addiction generally signifies excessive or unhealthy inclination for computer games. Game addicts spend great amount of their time engrossed in playing games while neglecting the real world. They have the tendency to neglect important responsibilities and isolate themselves from others. Instead, they place greater importance on their status, performance, and achievement in games. Virtual stores, virtual libraries, virtual cinema, virtual trade shows, virtual schools, virtual characters have been emerging due to the popularity of the internet. An ambiguous term virtual reality has appeared in addition to the word virtual. There also appeared alien and UFO syndrome. Such social phenomenon has brought about confusion of reality and virtual world in which things that do not exist are mistakenly believed to exist. This study focuses on virtual reality games and provides an assessment of the causes and the side effects of game addiction and proposes countermeasures.

컴퓨터 게임 중독은 일반적으로 지나치거나 건전하지 못할 정도로 컴퓨터 게임에 시간을 보내는 것을 의미한다. 또한 가상 게임 중독자들은 대부분의 시간을 실제 세계에 집중하기보다는 가상 게임에 몰두하고 있다. 그들은 다른 사람들로부터 자신을 고립화하고 다른 중요한 책임져야 하는 일들을 소홀히 하는 경향이 있다. 오히려 자신이 좋아하는 게임의 성취, 성적, 상태를 더 중요시 한다. 인터넷의 열풍으로 가상 상점, 가상도서관, 가상영화관, 가상전시회, 가상학교, 가상인물 등이 등장하고 있다. 가상이라는 말에 가상현실이라는 IT 단어도 나타났다. 외계인이나 UFO와 같은 신드롬도 생겨나게 되었다. 이런 사회적인 현상이 가상과 현실을 혼돈하게 만들고 있으며 실제로 존재하지 않는 것을 존재하는 것으로 착각하게 만들기도 한다. 본 연구는 가상현실의 게임을 중심으로 가상현실 게임과 그 중독의 부작용을 살펴보고 그 원인을 분석하며 그 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다.
