title = "Ethnicity and sense of presence in a virtual environment: Arab women - A case in point",
abstract = "Participants (99) experienced Virtual Reality Environment (VRE) exposure in a virtual airplane, and completed a presence questionnaire. Twenty seven participants avoided viewing the virtual window, and reported lower levels of presence. Significantly more window avoiders were Arab females than any other group. Thus Arab women behaved differently in the VRE, which in turn influenced their ability to experience the VRE as real and vivid.",
