  • Avatar-driven self-disclosure
    Computers in Human Behavior, 2014
    Co-Authors: Rosalie Hooi
    Abstract:

    The effect of avatar-self similarity on self-disclosure was examined.Self-awareness, self-presence, and identifiability are mediators.Avatar similarity increases self-disclosure via self-awareness and self-presence.Avatar similarity decreases self-disclosure via identifiability. Considering the importance of self-disclosure in building relationships and bonds, it is vital to investigate how self-disclosure is affected by avatars utilized in many online communities. In this study, we tested a research model that explores how perceived avatar-self similarity affects self-disclosure via different theoretical constructs such as self-awareness, self-presence, and identifiability. The research model was empirically tested with data from a web-based survey of 209 Second Life users. Results revealed that avatar similarity impacts self-disclosure but with varying effects, depending on how it is mediated by variables of identifiability, self-awareness and self-presence. Specifically, appearance similarity affects homophily, which heightens self-awareness. This results in increased feelings of self-presence, which positively affects self-disclosure. Homophily also has the effect of heightening perceptions of identifiability, which decreases self-disclosure. Implications and applications are discussed.

  • Self-Similarity: a measure for benchmarking sewh-fragile image authentication techniques
    Proceedings of the Twenty-Second National Radio Science Conference 2005. NRSC 2005., 2005
    Co-Authors: S.n. El-din, M. Moniri
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes the use of generalized finite automata (GFA) as a method for retrieving the image Self-Similarity to be used as a measure for benchmarking semi-fragile image authentication techniques. A comparison between PSNR as a conventional-method and the proposed Self-Similarity measure for several types of images was conducted. These comparisons show that the Self-Similarity measure has a better correlation with the image perceptual quality than the conventional PSNR. Furthermore, the Self-Similarity can be used to determine the maximum level of JPEG compression that should be used to benchmark a group of image authentication techniques
