  • iListen here with the World's First Ever Social Experiment done inside of Virtual Reality. Today in VRChat, I set up a Social Experiment to see how people react. Will those that are in VRChat hiding behind a VR helmet be more brave or less brave to stand up for the victim?

      there's just too many factors to count: Skins, sizes, tone, content of the conversation, gender, maybe even initial number of people on each side... to make full scale experiment there should be like at least per 2 actors of each gender and more for group attack plays

  • @louxie6367

    Though I like the idea, I don't think them saying negative things about being in VR is much of "bullying".
    Especially because everyone in VRChat is in VR themselves. So it just comes off as hypocritical.
    I would've liked to see the actors "attack" each other as strangers.
    A lot of the time I see guys with high pitch voices or females getting bullied in VR. I've seen people get judged for the avatars they use, especially furries or meme characters. I do wish those aspects were addressed, as it does happen in the game.
    However, it was refreshing to see some new ideas for a video ^^

    • @anightcat
      @anightcat 4 роки тому +16

      I was thinking the same.
      It would have been good to have the same kind of "reasoning" behind the "bullying" and not switch it up from time to time.
      Either stay on the "u never join us when we invite us irl" or make it more extreme like in the last one "i hate looking at you".
      But putting them both in comparison to each other just is not an equal level.
      Despite that, the idea behind it is great and surely can have a lot of different outcomes.
      I would love to see a second video about this, maybe with a few more "experiments" to compare.
      Amazing work!

    To be honest I think tone has a lot to do with it. When Mike was getting told off it sounded much like we as friends often mess around with eachother sarcastically. It was only when she really kept going that the guys fully realised she could be serious. Whereas Mike coming out of nowhere with his deeper tone and butt in that way instantly, just naturally sounds more toxic. Gender maybe has something to do it but not necessarily because of 'white knighting' but general expectations

    This is awesome!! This might legit get issued in some sort of sociology or psychology news letter or something. This has real potential to be big, a larger sample size and different scenarios could really change how we look at human interaction over VR. Most people may feel threatened irl to stand up as they could have something semi-serious to them happen, like social isolation, but in VR you're in the comfort of your own home with little to no real consequences. I'd love to see more of this from a sociological aspect, keep up the good work!!

    I'd say two factors:-
    1. This is VR Chat, no one is fearful of a fallout if they intervene.
    2. Those who have experienced bullying vs those who haven't. Also matters on what life experience has been. Some people tend to have a lot of bottled up anger against the world due personal experiences.

  • @TheDiscusserOriginal
    @TheDiscusserOriginal 4 роки тому

    There's something that occurs in psychology that is important to think about. When groups of people commit towards an action, including inaction towards something else, we tend to follow the same action. Meaning if a few set of people step around something, others are likely to repeat the same action without realizing it. In simple terms, monkey see, monkey do.
    This is why we can see sometimes people not helping those in need of help as some have looked past the people in need, and others had followed. Although it isn't necessarily our fault for this, it is something we should break off to help those in need. Sometimes people are strong enough to defend themselves, and regardless of their strength, it's best to help those are being wronged.

  • @aster-io

    Yeah in my experience i agree and i can say that it's most accurate to say that you just have to learn to stand up for yourself because i myself got bullied physically and verbally for almost 10 years and there was no one who literally helped me but it's nice to know that there are actually ppl who would be ready to help someone who's in that situation...

    Sorry I'm late to the party. Lol
    But anyways,
    • With the first social experiment---I really have nothing to say about it really.
    • With the second one I'd say it's nothing about gender as a female, it's the fact she wasn't that aggressive at first.
    • With the third one I completely agree with all of them, I'm not going to step-in because I don't know you. I already have some much stress and anger going on in my life---I don't need you to add on. But I wouldn't be annoyed I'm just too awkward.
    • Now with my opinion:
    I'm not going to step-in---it's just friend drama but that might because I think I'd be ignored as I usually do when I try to step-in. I get bullied a lot---but I'm not afraid to step-in. Again back to the third scene I'd would basically say the same thing (but not "no one cares" lol)

    I think this experiment is a bit flawed because it's not exactly "VR" bullying, it sounds more like IRL friends arguing inside a VR game. That makes people not want to join in because they knew each other already and can resolve it themselves.
    If you made it look like those two people didn't know each other in real life and one just starting bullying randomly, I think it would be a different story.
