本研究考察了3D虚拟世界与面对面交流（ftfc）相比对个人交流体验的影响。使用2 × 2后测组设计，要求受试者讨论给定的主题。本研究探讨个体不同的性格特征（如害羞）是否会影响沟通体验（如沟通理解）。数据显示，与FtFC相比，害羞的人在进行在线讨论时感到的沟通恐惧更少。另一方面，与虚拟世界相比，FtFC在影响个人改变行为的意愿方面更为有效。结果表明，在虚拟现实中缺乏视觉/听觉线索是影响结果的主要因素。(C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This study examines the effect of 3D virtual worlds on an individual's communication experience in comparison with Face-to-Face communications (FtFCs). Using 2 x 2 posttest only group design where subjects were asked to discuss over a given topic. This study investigated whether individuals' different personality characteristics (i.e. shyness) influence communication experiences (i.e. communication apprehension). The data suggest that shy individuals felt less of communication apprehension during the discussion conducted online than FtFC. On the other hand, FtFC turned out to be more effective in influencing individuals' intention to change behavior compared to virtual worlds. The results suggest that lack of visual/auditory cues in virtual reality is the major factor that influenced the outcome. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
