Human technology interactions

My research has been focused on human-technology
interactions, particularly using VR, over the last 5 years. I have been leading several
interdisciplinary and cross-cultural studies on VR. Here’s a list of my recent publications
on VR. I’m currently working on a study investigating how various technologies (VR, TV,
and smartphone) affect perceptions of empathy, engagement (presence), involvement,
and intentions to support Paralympians using an experimental approach. I will be
presenting this study (“Comparisons of TV, Smartphone, and Virtual Reality Regarding
Their Impact on Empathy, Involvement, and Support Intentions for Paralympians”) at the
international conference on Technology, Knowledge, and Society this week. Although my
background is in Sport Management, I don’t limit my research to sports; it extends to areas
such as marketing and psychology. For example, my most recent publication focused on
psychology and marketing and was unrelated to sports. I am open to collaboration across
disciplines. I have attached a few publications in case anyone is interested.

Sport consumer behavior

Sport consumer behavior (e.g., the influence of technology on sport product
consumptions, the influence of sport organizations and athletes’ behavior on sport
consumer perceptions, the development process of sport fan loyalty, etc.)
