Araştırmanın temel amacı Akış Teorisi (Flow Theory) unsurlarından olan eğlence, tele varoluş, konsantrasyon ve zaman algısında bozulma faktörlerinin, tüketicilerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları ve keşifsel davranışları üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi ve aynı şekilde tüketicilerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları ve keşifsel davranışlarının pozitif ve negatif WOM (ağızdan ağıza iletişim) üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmanın anakütlesini Türkiye’deki 18 yaşından büyük mobil oyunları oynayan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Toplam 407 geçerli veri ile gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda, akış teorisinin tüm unsurlarının (konsantrasyon, eğlence, zaman algısında bozulma ve tele varoluş) bireylerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları üzerinde anlamlı etkilere sahip olduğu görülürken, yine tele varoluş hariç bu unsurların keşifsel davranışlar üzerinde de anlamlı etkilerinin olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Son olarak, keşifsel davranışın aksine; mobil oyun bağımlılığının olumlu WOM ve olumsuz WOM faktörleri üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
