최근 10년 동안 중국 문화산업의 발전에 따라 중국 온라인 게임 산업은 높은 성장추세를 보여 국민경제의 발전에 큰 기여를 하고 있으며, 또한 세계 게임 산업에서 점하는 비중이 증대되고 있다. 따라서 중국 게임산업 및 게임이용자에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 필요하겠다. 본 연구는 중국 온라인 게임 이용자의 게임이용행위의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 이용자의 인지가치와 충성도를 결정하는 요인에 대한 연구모형을 설정하고, 설문조사를 통해 회수된 자료를 활용하여 AMOS방법을 활용한 실증분석을 하였다. 분석결과를 보면, 인지가치와 충성도에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 변수는 각각 인지가격과 플로우, 플로우와 인지가치로 나타났다.

개인이 소유한 가치나 가치관은 삶의 목표와 기본 원리를 제공함은 물론 행동을 선택하고 평가하는 하나의 기준이다. 본 연구는 가치의 개념적 틀에 기초하여 청소년 스포츠 참가자들이 내면화하고 있는 다양한 스포츠 가치의 영역과 개념적 구조를 탐색하고, 이를 토대로 성과 학교급 및 참가수준(선수와 체육특기적성)에 따른 가치체계의 차이를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 인천광역시와 경기도 소재 운동선수 및 체육특기적성 교육 참가자를 대상으로 개방형 설문지를 통한 내용분석(87명)을 실시하였으며, 여기에서 도출된 29항목의 스포츠 가치에 대한 적절성 평정(137명)을 거쳐 최종적으로 선택된 27항목의 가치에 대한 상대적 중요성을 알아보았다(465명). 분석 결과, 가장 중요한 스포츠 가치는 ‘끝까지 최선을 다하는 것’과 ‘즐거움과 재미를 느끼는 것’으로 나타났으며, 가치들의 상대적 중요성인 가치체계는 성별과 학교급 및 참가수준에 따라 부분적으로 차이가 발견되었다. 특히, 스포츠 가치체계의 차이는 운동선수와 특기적성 프로그램의 참가자 간에 두드러지게 났다. 이러한 결과는 연구의 제한점과 더불어 스포츠 가치가 일반적인 삶의 가치와 어떤 관련을 갖는지 그리고 스포츠 가치의 문화적 보편성과 특수성 관점에서 논의하였다.
