Scoring process
Acceptance (Ownership) = (AC1 + AC2 +AC3 + AC4)/4
Control (Agency) = (CO1+ CO2 + CO3 + CO4)/4
Change = (CH1 + CH2 + CH3 + CH4)/4
Method
The scale measures virtual embodiment based on the factors Acceptance (ownership), Control (agency), and Change (perceived change in the body scheme). The scale should be measured immediately after exposure/induction of virtual embodiment. A 0-6-point scale can be used instead of the 1-7-point scale.
