| Abstract: | Several studies have demonstrated that individuals can be bullied because of their physical characteristics. We examined whether avatars can be victims or perpetrators of bullying based on their appearances. Participants were presented with four strong and four weak-impression avatars and asked to answer questions regarding impression, attractiveness, and presumption of bullying. The results reveal that the impressions of avatars are related to the presumption of bullying (p <.001). Individuals may hold the physical stereotypes of certain avatars. A simple solution for preventing potential harm in the metaverse is to not manipulate avatars with weak impressions. In addition, designers should avoid creating avatars with weak impressions, and individuals should recognize and control their stereotypes to avoid prejudice or discrimination. |
