Abstract

Many studies have used virtual reality as a means to interpret human responses. Few have given opportunity to the participant to express their own behaviour in varied ways based on the inherent freedoms built into the experimental design.

Choice is a function of the human condition. A psychological study which channels behaviour should assume a reaction from the participant it wishes to test. Such a reaction is difficult to quantify and dependant on the individual traits of the tested.

Human beings are often dependant on emergent behaviour, or the use of past experiences to influences future situations. This display of reliance, using learned and developed behaviour, should be expressed most clearly in situations which are aesthetically different or contextually similar to previous experience. Should variables which increase stressor factors on the individual be increased patterns of behaviour may, logically, express themselves more quickly and more frequently than their original form.

Human participants will behave in expected way if you build an experiment that presumes an expected result.
