New realities
choices in virtual worlds — using boundary/borders theories
Gregory P. Garvey
pp. 127-131
This paper examines border/boundary theories in relation to other analytical approaches that may be used to study the social and psychological impact of mobile technologies, social networking, games and virtual worlds. The conceptual background of border/boundary theory is summarised followed by a discussion of definitions of dissociation disorders. A new survey instrument based on the Dissociative Experience Scale (DES) is proposed that may provide further analytical power to the basic framework of border/boundary theories.
