Social presence in distributed group environments: The role of social identity

“…presence as realism, immersion, transportation etc.). These multidimensional conceptualisations, however, can be grouped into two broad categories -social and physical presence (Ijsselstein et al, 2000). The physical category refers to the sense of being physically located somewhere and implies that the medium appears to be invisible; whereas the social category refers to being and communicating with someone, with the implication that the medium appears to be transformed into a social entity.…”

“…6 factor in generating a sense of presence, and Ijsselstein et al (2000) suggest that as technology increasingly conveys non-verbal communication cues, social presence will increase. Implicit in these attempts to emulate face-to-face communication is the equation of physical and social presence, i.e.…”

Immersive Storytelling in 360-Degree Videos: An Analysis of Interplay Between Narrative and Technical Immersion

“…While there are, of course, other basic types of immersion like social immersion, we use these two distinctions as an initial point for the case study because these two seem the most appropriate for the 360-degree video format. Specific aesthetic characteristics are conceived as beneficial for immersion, or the subjective feeling of being present (presence) in a virtual environment (Steuer, 1992;Witmer & Singer, 1998;Ijsselsteijn et al, 2000;Ijsselsteijn & Riva, 2003) but there are also technical factors that may disturb the illusion of being part of the story world. Although there is some preliminary research regarding storytelling in 360-degree videos (e.g., Bleumers et al, 2012;Argyriou et al, 2016;Kavanagh et al, 2016;Sheikh et al, 2016;), none of these studies compares it to other video formats.…”

The illusion of nonmediation in telecommunication: Voice intensity biases distance judgments to a communication partner

“…In research with advanced presentation media, presence is usually conceptualized as a subjective experience, which can be expressed through certain bodily and behavioral responses (IJsselsteijn et al, 2000). Presence is said to occur either when people self-report their illusions…”

“…Has telecommunication technology become so profound that it disappears psychologically? In media psychology, the phenomenon that people do not fully acknowledge the role of technology in mediated experiences is known as presence, defined as the perceptual illusion of nonmediation (Lombard & Ditton, 1997; for more recent overviews, see IJsselsteijn, de Ridder, & Freeman, 2000;Lee, 2004). While research efforts in this field have primarily focused on multisensory, immersive and interactive media technologies (e.g., virtual environments, high-end videoconferencing, and tele-operation systems), we wondered whether the illusion also applies to the less immersive media that are used daily, such as a mobile phone.…”
