Avatars and body image: further research participants needed

May 20, 2011 by Metaverse Journal Editor Leave a Comment

A little over a year ago we reported on a research study underway into the link between avatars and body image. That research has been continuing ever since and the initial results were inconclusive. PhD student Jon-Paul Cacioli wants to delve a little deeper on a few things, so there’s a follow-up survey for any male over the age of 18 who has an avatar in a virtual world.

It doesn’t matter if it’s Second Life, World of Warcraft or an OpenSim grid, you can take part. The survey itself will take 15-20 minutes to complete, but all respondents go into a draw for Amazon vouchers.

To take part, here’s where to go.

    I like this Avatar and Body image. There are so many different Avatar images available. Today technology introduced day by day. The 3D graphics market is so popular among the people.

    It is a good survey of Avatar and body image. You are a Ph.D. student and you done such a great job. I will come and take part in the survey. Now a days so many games available which contain images and avatars.
