Realism and Naturalness: Understanding Physical and Social Presence

Explore the model of realism and naturalness to comprehend physical and social presence, even when you're not physically there. Immersion, transparency, copresence, and immediacy are key elements discussed.

  1. Realism and Naturalness: A Potential Model for Understanding Physical and Social Presence

  2. Presence: “there” even when you’re not • Physical presence • a sense of “being there” • an “illusion of non-mediation” • Social presence • a sense of “being with others” • a sense of inclusion in a group

  3. Presence: “there” even when you’re not • Physical presence—VR, VE, and SVE • a sense of “being there” • an “illusion of non-mediation” • Social presence—text-based OE • a sense of “being with others” • a sense of inclusion in a group

  4. Presence: “there” even when you’re not • Physical presence—VR, VE, and SVE • a sense of “being there”: immersion • an “illusion of non-mediation”: transparency • Social presence—text-based OE • a sense of “being with others” • a sense of inclusion in a group

  5. Presence: “there” even when you’re not • Physical presence—VR, VE, and SVE • a sense of “being there”: immersion • an “illusion of non-mediation”: transparency • Social presence—text-based OE • a sense of “being with others”: copresence • a sense of inclusion in a group: immediacy

  6. Presence: “there” even when you’re not • Physical presence • Immersion: Realism • Transparency: Naturalness • Social presence • Copresence: Realism • Immediacy: Naturalness

  7. Physical and Social Presence Survey • Initial Instrument • Physical Presence: 6 items • Social Presence: 7 items • Interaction: 6 items • Administered to 30 doctoral students in text-based online ed. research course

  8. Physical and Social Presence Survey • Reliability: Cronbach’s Alpha = .93 • Factor analysis • Four factors w/ Eigenvalues over 1 • With three factors • 8 items loaded in all 3 • 7 items loaded in 2 • Only 2 items loaded in 1

  9. Physical and Social Presence Survey • Reliability: Cronbach’s Alpha = .93 • Factor analysis • Four factors w/ Eigenvalues over 1 • With three factors • 8 items loaded in all 3 • 7 items loaded in 2 • Only 2 items loaded in 1 Content analysis: Presence in general

  10. Physical and Social Presence Survey • Revised instrument • Replaced the 2 general presence items and 1 other item that loaded across all 3 factors • 3 new questions addressed immersion and transparency (awareness of real world, engagement of senses, and “going into” the OE). • Administered to 43 respondents in undergraduate writing course and graduate CECS courses

  11. Results • Reliability: Cronbach’s Alpha = .884 • Factor Analysis • 4 items loaded as physical presence • 5 items loaded as social presence • 5 items loaded in both factors • These 9 items were on both surveys

  12. Results of Combined Datasets • Reliability: Cronbach’s Alpha = .843 • Factor analysis: • Only 2 factors: 61% of variance • 3 social presence items loaded in both factors • Multi-dimensional Scaling (ALSCAL)

  13. Multi-dimensional Scaling (ALSCAL)

  14. Conclusions • A realism-naturalness model might work for both physical and social presence • Reliable and valid instrument for both types of presence that can be used in a variety of online environments
