Moreover, the researchers also found that these gamers are significantly more likely to take for granted a very popular "myth about rape," which states that a woman is always partly to blame for their own rape. This behavior is explained by the so-called effect of Proteus (Proteus Effect), in which a person's behavior begins to match his "digital identity" - in this case the behavior and appearance of the avatar.

By selecting an avatar in the game, the woman begins to identify himself too deeply with him that directly affects its actions and way of thinking. If between Text and his mistress have some resemblance, the action intensifies the effect of Proteus.

Those participants that played a sexy avatars, more often answered this question in the affirmative. (READ MORE)
