Summary
Virtual reality sports like screen golf and baseball are popular in urban Korea. Perceived usefulness, particularly for skill improvement, is key to driving participation in these engaging virtual sports.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Sociology
Background:
- Screen golf and baseball are popular virtual sports in Korean urban society.
- The underlying reasons for their attractiveness and participation drivers remain underexplored.
Approach:
- The study employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to analyze participation drivers.
- Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test hypotheses with data from 400 online survey responses.
Key Points:
- Perceived usefulness emerged as the most significant factor influencing participation in virtual reality sports.
- Perceived ease of use and personal attitude also showed relationships with participation intention.
Conclusions:
- The popularization of virtual reality sports hinges on developing applications that offer tangible benefits.
- Focusing on practical utility, such as athletic skill enhancement and posture correction, is crucial for future virtual sports development.

32.3K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

01:20Projectile Motion
15.7K
An object thrown in the air follows a parabolic path under the influence of Earth's gravitational force. The motion of such an object is called projectile motion, and the object itself a projectile. The parabolic path followed by the projectile is called the trajectory. Some common examples of projectile motion are the launching of fireworks, a golf ball in the air, meteors entering the Earth's atmosphere, and the firing of bullets.

01:23Motion of a Projectile

Projectile motion becomes evident when a player kicks the ball into the air. The launch angle, or the angle at which the ball is kicked, plays a crucial role in determining the trajectory of the projectile. As the ball soars through the air, influenced solely by gravity, its motion can be dissected into two independent velocity components: the horizontal and the vertical.
Horizontal motion, governed by the initial kick, maintains a constant velocity throughout the flight of the soccer ball.

01:18Projectile Motion: Example
9.9K
The theory of projectile motion is very useful for players of several sports to improve their performance. For example, a javelin thrower needs to throw their javelin in such a way that it travels as far as possible. The javelin thrower takes a short run-up to increase the initial speed of the javelin. The range of a projectile is at its maximum at a 45° angle so javelin throwers try to angle their throw as close to 45° as possible.

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...
