Hi Joshua, Thanks for the references. I also found a couple helpful articles in other issues of Cyberpsychology and Behavior while I was looking for the one you recommended, so it was doubly helpful. Best, Adam Joshua Raclaw <Joshua.Raclaw@Colorado.EDU> wrote: Are you familiar with these two articles? The Hussain and Griffiths article is probably most relevant to what you're interested in, though the Sundén may also be worth looking at. Hussain, Z. and M. Griffiths. (2008).

Apologies for cross-posting...
I'm looking for a few studies on gender-swapping in MMORPGs or virtual environments, and particularly SL. My focus is on identity in online environments, and I haven't quite been able to find what I'm looking for in database searches.
Many thanks,
