The Effect of Game Players Personality, Social Capital and Adaptive Game Use on Life Satisfaction

There are general surveys on factors related to Life Satisfaction. However, less is known about the relationships between Life Satisfaction, personality, Social Capital, and Adaptive Game Use. This study sought to clarify several of these relationships. Using data from a survey of 981 game users in South Korea, we conducted a regression analysis to explore the association between psychological variables(Personality), social variables(Bonding Social Capital and Bridge Social Capital), Media Using Pattern(Adaptive Game Use) and demographic variables(Age and Gender). Results showed that Openness·Conscientiousness(Personality), Bonding(Social Capital), and Adaptive Game Use increase Life Satisfaction while Neuroticism·Agreeable(Personality) decrease Life Satisfaction. The implications of these results are discussed.
