Introduction
Different digital reality forms virtual, augmented and mixed as argued and unrivalled by Rosenberg (1992) and Milgram & Kishino (1994) but now these are commonly known. Personality relationship with these digital situations have been reflected in multiples ways (Kim, Bruder, Maloney & Welch2016: Hanna, & Richards 2016a: Astrid, Krämer&Gratch2010: Buisine& Martin2010:Karsvall2002). The co-presence experiences with human surrogates (Kim& Welch 2015) have the capacity to influence human‘trust’, ‘social presence’ (Robb &Lok (2014), motivation and emotions (Ahrndt, Fähndrich, Lützenberger&Albayrak2015) further understanding of these human experiences could be more informing?
Virtual experiences or ‘presence’ are different than that of real experiences (Heeter 1992) because these takes place in ‘Proteus Effect Virtual environments’ (Yee &Bailenson 2007) that are filled with ‘place illusions’ and ‘plausibility illusions” (Slater 2009b) Virtual environment is related with ‘body ownership’ and ‘representation’ (Slater, Spanlang, Sanchez-Vives&Blanke 2010 d) close to human ‘propensity’ Sanchez-Vives and Slater (2005) in (Slater 2007a) therefore, a few researchers have questioned the use of questionnaires for these complex situations (Slater 2004: Usoh, Catena, Arman& Slater 2000) as researchers have described with reference to ‘presence’ (Slater, Lotto, Arnold & Sánchez-Vives 2009 c).
Self-deception is a known human capacity that facilitates interpersonal deception (Von Hippel, & Trivers2011:Troisi2011), it is different from “inaccurate representation”(Pinker2011)and is an ‘active’ human ‘strategy’ (Preti&Miotto2011) for ‘social gains’(Fridland2011).
Self-harm is a psychological construct and in a study it was reported that 15% youth was subject to this situation(Laye-Gindhu&Schonert-Reichl 2005).Sufficient records about the construct have been reported in psychological literature(McAllister2003) but a few factors controlling this behavior are yet not clear (Chapman, Gratz& Brown 2006). However, some measures are available for its measurement (Patterson, Whittington&Bogg2007).
Human experiences play important role to shape personality (Birch & Fisher1996), a few researchers have evolved equations to define the construct and its role (Taylor & Todd 1995). The experiences are not only related with human behaviors but are known for its contributory role in the development of human nervous system and brain (Gottlieb 1976:Dawson, Ashman& Carver2000)
