Abstract

Proteus Effect generally means people will act in the way their avatar seems to behave in anonymous and deindividualized condition. Many other circumstances have been tested by previous studies. This experiment aims to find out how Proteus effect will work when people are by themselves. The add of classical Chicken game is special part that makes the research has richer meanings and tests participants’ mental condition. The results show that people that are higher will behave more progressively comparing to shorter people. Whether people are being observed or not won’t affect the result very much. It is indicated that this conclusion can be used to improve working efficiency in companies and so on, but more experiments and more kinds of participants should be included.
