ABSTRACT
e adaptation(academic, social, personal-emotional, institutional attachment) by Internet game motivation types. The 475 subjects (235 male and 240 female college students) responded to the newly developed self-report measure, Internet Game Motivation Scale (IGMS). Cluster analyses of IGMS data identified 5 types of Internet game motivation : Active Ⅰ, Active Ⅱ, Moderate Ⅰ, Moderate Ⅱ, Passive. Active (Ⅰ, Ⅱ) types had the highest scores in Internet game addiction while the Passive type yielded the lowest. Except for academic adaptation, all aspects of college adaptation varied as a function of Internet game motivation types. Overall, Moderate Ⅱ showed highest whereas Active Ⅰ showed lowest academic adaptation scores.
Key words :
