The present study explores the links between personality traits and motivations to play online games. We identified the underlying dimensions of motivations to play online games, examined how personality traits predict motivation, and investigated how personality traits predict online gaming behavior (i.e., playing time and preference for game genres). Factor analyses identified five motivational factors: relationships, adventure, escapism, relaxation, and achievement. The regression analyses indicated that two personality traits, extraversion and agreeableness, predicted various motivations; however, personality traits did not affect the playing time and game genre preference.
本研究探讨了人格特质与玩网络游戏动机之间的关系。我们确定了玩网络游戏动机的潜在维度，考察了人格特质如何预测动机，以及研究了人格特质如何预测网络游戏行为（即游戏时间和对游戏类型的偏好）。因素分析确定了五个动机因素：人际关系、冒险、逃避现实、放松和成就。回归分析表明，两个人格特质，外向和宜人性，预测了各种动机；然而，人格特质并不影响游戏时间和游戏类型偏好。
