Lee Hye Seon, a master's student in our Counseling Psychology program (advisor: Professor Nam Sook Kyung), received the Outstanding Paper Presentation Award at the Korean Society of Addiction Psychology's 2025 Summer Academic Conference.

While serving as a researcher at the Kookmin Twin Research Institute (Director: Professor Heo Yun Mi), Lee Hye Seon conducted research on twins titled “Genetic and Environmental Factors Influencing Gaming Addiction and Average Daily Gaming Time.” The study revealed a very high correlation between average daily gaming time and gaming addiction tendencies. While longer average daily gaming time correlates with higher gaming addiction tendencies, the genetic and environmental factors influencing average daily gaming time are relatively independent from those affecting gaming addiction itself.

 

These findings suggest that since game addiction and game usage time differ in their developmental causes, seeking alternative approaches in game addiction counseling may be more effective than simply recommending reduced game time.

 

Student Lee Hye Seon shared her thoughts, stating, “Being a twin myself sparked my interest in twin studies, and I plan to engage in more active research activities at the National Twin Research Institute in the future.”
