過去線上遊戲相關研究探討諸多線上遊戲對學生的負面影響，但卻較少探索玩線上遊戲對國小高年級學童的影響，形成一個知識上的缺口。由於線上遊戲會帶給使用者諸多心理上的反饋、以及虛擬社群中的人際互動機會，因此，本研究嘗試探討線上遊戲對國小高年級學生在心理、社會二大面向是否會有影響。
本研究以660位五年級國小學童為樣本做第一次問卷，相同樣本於一年後學童升至六年級實施第二次問卷，且使用縱斷面的資料，加以分析檢驗線上遊戲所能夠帶給學童的影響，其中也將學童族群區隔為都會區、非都會區探討城鄉差異和男、女性學童差異、父母限制與父母是否協同參與線上遊戲等行為有相對應關係，研究發現參與線上遊戲學童比例逐年升高，且線上遊戲的種類以社群網站為主，父母限制學童參與線上遊戲時，學童的神經質會下降，宜人性、社交商數和團隊合作之間會有正向關係。

The literature on online games has investigated the negative influences of online games on students. However, none has explored the influences of online games on students of elementary schools, particular those who are eleven and twelve years old, indicating a knowledge gap. Since online games provide various psychological feedbacks to users and abundant interpersonal interactions, this study attempts to investigate the influences of online games on psychological and social functions of students of elementary schools.
The sample of this study comprised 660 elementary school students who were eleven years old. Longitudinal study design was used. The participants were surveyed again when they were twelve years old. Students were categorized into metropolitan and non-metropolitan groups and male and female groups. Findings indicate that the proportion of students play online games increases year by year. Moreover, social networking games are the most favorite games of participants. When parents restrain students from playing online games, students’ neuroticism will decrease, while agreeableness, social intelligence, and teamwork will increase.
