Paper Abstract:
|
The paper reviewed the common personality instruments in behavior studies. One hundred and sixty-four graduate students took the Kirtons Innovator-Adaptor Inventory and a Behavior Intention Survey after a short workshop on the use of Second Life. A strong connection between personality and behavior intention to use Second Life virtual environments was found. Implications of results were discussed. |
