Journal of Computer-Mediated
Communication I Am What I See: How Avatar and Opponent Agent Body Size Affects Physical Activity Among Men Playing Exergames Jorge Peña Department of Communication, University of California, Kerr Hall, Davis, CA 95616 Subuhi Khan Department of Communication, University of California, Kerr Hall, Davis, CA 95616 Cassandra Alexopoulos Department of Communication, University of California, Kerr Hall, Davis, CA 95616 This study examined how avatar body size (normal, obese) and opponent character body size (nor- mal, obese) influenced physical activity while male participants played an exergame. Males operating normal weight avatars showed more physical activity than those using obese avatars. Perceived avatar and opponent character body-size differences moderated the effect of avatar appearance on physical activity. Participants showed decreased physical activity when the opponent character was perceived as slightly more obese than their avatar. Participants also showed decreased physical activity when their avatar was perceived as more obese than the opponent character. We discuss theoretical implica- tions and applications of using virtual characters to increase gamers’ physical activity. These findings are also compared to an earlier study with an all-female sample. Keywords: Avatars, Opponent Agents, Exergame, Physical Activity, Priming, Social Comparisons, Replication. doi:10.1111/jcc4.12151 Exergames are video games that require the performance of physical gestures to control the game and, thus, allow users to exert themselves physically (e.g., dance, play tennis; Staiano & Calvert, 2011). There is rising interest in how video games can boost physical activity and other positive outcomes (Peng, Lin, & Crouse, 2011). For example, participants with high body-image dissatisfaction reported similar or more favorable exergame experiences relative to those with low body-image dissatisfaction (Song, Kim, The authors would like to thank Robert Lu for his assistance in coding data.
