The Relationship between Mental Health and Game Use as Mass Media

The study about relationship with game use and mental health is being watched with keen interest. However, these isn't enough study on comparison within mass media just like television or SNS. In this study, we compared each media usage time and mental health factor on public. We selected game, television, radio, newspaper, book as mass media and depression, aggression, loneliness, self control, happiness, self efficacy, self esteem as mental health factor. As a result of the study, high game usage time group shows low self control, high aggression and little low self efficacy as compared with other media. And game, SNS and book show the relationship with depression, so there needs joint researches about that. We clear up the character and relationships with the game propensity analysis for the game development and studies of mental health.
