Embodiment and presence in virtual worlds: a review (2010, background): “For instance, proximity to other avatars was interpreted in a way similar to physical proximity: although we are comfortable standing close to people who are familiar and dear to us, we seek some distance from strangers (also Taylor, 2002).”
Psychological Ownership Motivation and Use of Social Media (2015, positive): “As a result, previous studies have concluded that people are able to express their “true self” better in social media than they ever could in face-to-face contexts (e.g., Bargh, McKenna, and Fitzsimons, 2002; Taylor, 2002; Tosun, 2012).”
Extended Self in a Digital World (2013, background): “…of configuring our avatar bodies has led some to suggest that our avatars represent our ideal selves (Kozinets and Kedzior 2009; Robinson 2007; Taylor 2002), possible selves (Young and Whitty 2012), aspirational selves (Martin 2008; Wood and Solomon 2010), or a canvas on which we can “try…”
The Effect of the Agency and Anthropomorphism on Users' Sense of Telepresence, Copresence, and Social Presence in Virtual Environments (2003, background): “…the very existence of a virtual image likely to inﬂuence perception, but different images have been shown to have different inﬂuences (Koda, 1996; Slater & Steed, 2002; Taylor, 2002; Turkle, 1995; Wexelblat, 1997), although the direction and type of inﬂuence different images have is still unclear.”
The Influence of the Avatar on Online Perceptions of Anthropomorphism, Androgyny, Credibility, Homophily, and Attraction (2005, methodology): “Essentially, the avatar may be used to provide a means of identifying, recognizing, and evaluating others in the mediated world of geographically distant communication (Benford, Greenhalgh, Rodden, & Pycock, 2001; Talamo & Ligorio, 2001; Taylor, 2002).”
What is eSports and why do people watch it? (2017, background): “For a more elaborate discussion on the paradox of what is real and virtual, please see Lehdonvirta (2010) and Taylor (2002).”
