Resumen

Los usuarios más jóvenes lamentan la pérdida de avatares virtuales de manera lúdica, mientras que los usuarios mayores prefieren la solemnidad. El duelo digital reconfigura las emociones a través de prácticas inmersivas, participativas y moldeadas generacionalmente en la realidad virtual (RV).

Área de la Ciencia:

Humanidades Digitales
Interacción Humano-Computadora
Estudios sobre el Duelo

Sus antecedentes:

Las tecnologías inmersivas como la realidad virtual (RV) permiten nuevas formas de duelo.
La investigación sobre el duelo en RV se enfoca principalmente en la pérdida de individuos del mundo real.
La experiencia de perder avatares virtuales, extensiones de la identidad del usuario, sigue estando poco estudiada.

Objetivo del estudio:

Examinar las diferencias generacionales en la interpretación y respuesta a la pérdida de avatares virtuales.
Explorar las experiencias de los usuarios durante las ceremonias conmemorativas basadas en realidad virtual (RV) para avatares.
Abordar la brecha en la comprensión del duelo relacionado con la pérdida de identidad virtual.

Principales métodos:

Se llevaron a cabo dos funerales basados en avatares en VRChat (plataforma social de realidad virtual).
Se emplearon métodos de investigación cualitativa, incluida la observación participante.
Se recopilaron datos de dieciséis entrevistas semiestructuradas con usuarios de entre 18 y 65 años, seguidas de un análisis temático.

Principales resultados:

Se identificaron dos temas clave: Diferencias Generacionales e Influencia Cultural, y Experiencia Emocional Durante el Duelo Digital.
Los participantes más jóvenes exhibieron humor, juego narrativo y experimentación flexible de identidad en respuesta a la pérdida de avatares.
Los participantes mayores demostraron mayor solemnidad, estructura ritual y continuidad simbólica en las prácticas conmemorativas.

Conclusiones:

Se propuso el Modelo Híbrido de Duelo para el Luto Virtual (HGM-VM), que integra la teoría del duelo y las perspectivas socio-técnicas.
El luto virtual autentifica las emociones, reconfigurándolas a través de prácticas inmersivas, participativas y de influencia generacional.
Los hallazgos ofrecen implicaciones para el diseño de entornos conmemorativos virtuales emocionalmente resonantes.

Emotional Expression

Emotional Expression

Emotional expression encompasses how individuals convey their emotions through verbal communication and non-verbal cues. These non-verbal actions include facial expressions, body language, and physical gestures, such as frowning or smiling. Among these, facial expressions play a crucial role in emotional expression and are understood universally, indicating a biological basis for how humans communicate emotions.

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Traumatic Memory

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Explicit Memories

Explicit Memories

Explicit memories, also known as declarative memories, are consciously remembered, recalled, and reported. Studying for a chemistry exam involves material that will become part of explicit memory. There are two types of explicit memory: episodic and semantic.
Episodic memory contains information about personally experienced events and is reported as a story. An example of episodic memory is recalling a birthday celebration. This type of memory includes the what, where, and when of an event, as...

Empathy

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.
