隨著網際網路的使用普及，在虛擬世界玩線上遊戲的人數驟增，各大遊戲廠商透過不同的遊戲設計吸引玩家使用，然而玩家是遊戲體驗者，了解玩家個人特質便是重要的因素。為了瞭解玩家個人特質與被遊戲所吸引的動機，以及了解不同類型的遊戲動機對遊戲著迷程度的影響，必須對玩家參與線上遊戲動機的原因有所了解。而遊戲動機是否受到其他因素影響，卻鮮少有研究者探討，也因此本研究旨在探討玩家人格特質與玩家動機的關係，並了解玩家動機對遊戲時間的影響。 本研究以Mini-Markers人格特質量表與Trojan Player Typology玩家動機量表蒐集玩家問卷資料，共獲得有效問卷221份問卷，並以典型相關、積差相關進行資料分析。研究結果發現五種人格特質與玩家動機有關聯。不同的人格特質會與不同的玩家動機有顯著關係，以及不同類型的遊戲動機會影響遊戲時間。 在典型相關分析中玩家人格特質與玩家動機有顯著相關，共發現兩個關係向度，第一個是在玩家人格特質中外向性和開放性越高，在玩家動機中社交者和探索者的傾向也越高。第二個是當玩家情緒越穩定，對於求勝的心態越低，逃避現實的情況也越低。 ;With the rise of networking, the number of people playing on-line game in the virtual world are increasing.
