Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In a high fidelity virtual space, two random paired participants were placed in one of three scenarios varying in levels of immersion. Some participants had control of the avatar's hands, while others did not. After the avatar interaction, participants recorded responses about their experience. These recordings were transcribed and analyzed via LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count). The means and standard deviations of word count, affect, positive emotion, and negative emotion from the responses were examined. According to this data, there does not appear to be a direct relationship between avatar control and user affect and emotion.
