The Proteus Paradox (2014)
“At Haverford College in 1998, Doug Davis’s course on personality psychology also involved learning how to hand code HTML and run web surveys. When I proposed an independent study project exploring EverQuest gamers, Doug unknowingly launched my research career by helping me identify the psychological questions waiting to be answered. His ideas of how psychology and technology intersect have always been and remain an inspiration. During my graduate program at Stanford University, Jeremy Bailenson...’s contagious intensity and drive led to the four most productive years of my academic career as we used virtual reality to understand what it means to have a digital avatar. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and astute graduate adviser who could discuss theory, methods, and technical tools with the same savviness.
