“…However, research has tended to focus more on factors associated with the virtual world than those of the user and their immediate context (Alsina-Jurnet & Gutiérrez-Maldonado, 2010;Sacau et al, 2008). The present study addressed this point by adopting a conceptualization that integrated constructs from the presence literature with those of developmental and ecological psychology.…”

“…At the individual level, presence is affected by personality dispositions and traits (Sacau et al, 2008) that "push" the user to the virtual world. Despite this, recent studies have focused mainly on "pull" factors (i.e., characteristics of the virtual context and activity) (Alsina-Jurnet & Gutiérrez-Maldonado, 2010;Sacau et al, 2008). The present study fills the gap by including an examination of the association of individual level anxiety (offline) as a presence "push" factor.…”

“…Research has also suggested relationships between characteristics of the user and susceptibility to presence (Alsina-Jurnet & Gutiérrez-Maldonado, 2010). Presence experience is thought to be a byproduct of the interaction between the way that the user processes information and the stimulation provided by the medium and/or application (Alsina-Jurnet & Gutiérrez-Maldonado, 2010).…”

Presence describes the feeling of reality and immersion that users of virtual/internet environments have. Importantly, it has been suggested that there are individual and contextual differences regarding susceptibility to presence. These aspects of presence have been linked to both beneficial and disadvantageous uses of the internet, such as online therapeutic applications and addictive internet behaviours. In the present study, presence was studied in relation to individual anxiety symptoms and classroomlevel openness to experience (OTE) using a normative sample of 648 adolescents aged between 16 and 18 years. Presence was assessed with the Presence II questionnaire, anxiety symptoms with the relevant subscales of the SCL-90-R, and OTE with the Five Factor Questionnaire. A three-level hierarchical linear model was calculated. Results showed that experiencing presence in virtual environments dropped between the ages of 16 and 18 years. Additionally, although anxiety symptoms were associated with higher presence at 16 years, this association decreased with age. Results also demonstrated that adolescents in classrooms higher on OTE reported reduced level of experiencing presence. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…in the case of teleoperated mobile robots). The sense of presence is influenced by different factors, like enjoyment (Sylaioua et al, 2010) or personality and individual abilities (Alsina-Jurnetn and Gutierrez-Maldonado, 2010). Usually the sense of presence is measured by proper questionnaire, however resent studies show that analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) potentials can be useful to assess presence in virtual environments (Kobe and Neuper, 2012).…”

We present how immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology can be used for interpersonal skills training in organizations. We review the distinguishing features of IVR and its potential strengths and limitations for interpersonal skills training. There is a pressing need for more empirical evidence, which is why we propose a research agenda with the aim of establishing IVR interpersonal skills training in the domain of human resource development. The proposed research agenda encompasses a set of 10 hypotheses that cover two axes: (a) factors that affect training transfer and (b) personality characteristics. We illustrate how these hypotheses can be tested empirically and discuss limitations and future roles for HRD scholars in such research.
