“…In distinguishing between real life and the game world, they focused on actions rather than realism of graphic depictions. These results are consistent with Malliet's (2006) study of perceptions of video game realism among 32 Belgian older teens and young adults; he found that players made nuanced distinctions between the context of the game world and the context of reality.…”

“…Violent games are also a safe place to experiment with emotions and roles that may be unacceptable in daily life (Jansz, 2005). Interviews with adolescents and young adults suggest that many view violent video games as incorporating realistic situations and consequences (Malliet, 2006). Some researchers posit that older children and adolescents understand that violent video game play is simply a form of play; they distinguish fantasy aggression and violence from real-world behavior that includes intent to harm a real victim (Goldstein, 2001;Malliet, 2006).…”

According to catharsis theory, playing violent video games could provide a safe outlet for aggressive and angry feelings (Griffiths, 2000).…”

Numerous policies have been proposed at the local, state, and national level to restrict youth access to violent video and computer games. Although studies are cited to support policies, there is no published research on how children perceive the uses and influence of violent interactive games. The authors conduct focus groups with 42 boys ages 12 to 14. Boys use games to experience fantasies of power and fame, to explore and master what they perceive as exciting and realistic environments (but distinct from real life), to work through angry feelings or relieve stress, and as social tools. Boys did not believe they had been harmed by violent games but were concerned that younger children might imitate game behavior (especially swearing).

“…To achieve this perception, the technology needs to be able to mimic or simulate the experience in the bricks-and-mortar environment, in other words to provide an authentic (virtual) reproduction of the offline experience. Hence, the concept of 3D authenticity relates directly to the users' daily lives, depending on the ability of virtual environment to describe something real (Malliet, 2006). Summarizing these arguments, we propose the following hypotheses:…”

“…The quality of the virtual experience, prompted by the quality of visual effects and functionalities (i.e. high level of interactivity), pushes users to a psychological state where they perceive the environment as authentic (Malliet, 2006). Authenticity is a subjective concept, which users may perceive differently accordingly to the context and their personal attitudes towards the technology.…”

The outcome of that engagement is examined in relation to enjoyment, satisfaction and purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach -The method comprised an experiment comparing users' perceptions of a standard 2D online clothing store with an enhanced, immersive one that aimed to provide shopping value approaching that of a traditional store by using a 3D experience where participants wore special glasses and a data glove. Findings -Results demonstrate the major role of telepresence components in simulated experience and the critical role of that experience, along with hedonic and utilitarian values, in engagement. Purchase intention is influenced by satisfaction, which is in turn influenced by enjoyment and engagement. Engagement in turn is influenced by utilitarian and hedonic value and the experience of product simulation or telepresence, which is composed of control, colour and graphics vividness, and 3D authenticity. In the immersive, 3D environment, experience is more associated with engagement and enjoyment, leading to greater purchase intention. The immersive, 3D environment, thus, has the potential to rival traditional shopping in terms of experience, resulting in higher sales for retailers and satisfaction for consumers. Originality/value -This work has evaluated a robust model of purchase intention and demonstrated it to hold not only in a 3D environment on a conventional computer platform, but also in an immersive one, where participants wear special glasses and a data glove.
