SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-USER BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH

摘要

Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for behavioral research. In some embodiments, an environment supporting three types of users may be provided. A first type of user may represent a participant whose behavior is being monitored. The first type of user may freely interact with the environment. A second type of user may represent a moderator directing the experience of the participant. The moderator may be provided with an ability to manipulate the environment or the participants' interactions with the environment. A third type of user may represent a client interested in the participants' behavior, and the third type of user may be provided with an ability to view the environment from the perspective of the participant. Different interfaces may be provided for allowing the different types of users to interact with the environment according to their roles.

主权项

1. A system for monitoring behaviors of a participant by a moderator and a client, the system comprising:
a non-transitory storage medium storing logic, the logic comprising: participant interface logic that sends and receives instructions for simulating an environment and observing the simulated environment, moderator interface logic that sends and receives instructions for simulating the environment and manipulating the simulated environment, and client interface logic that sends and receives instructions for viewing the simulated environment from the perspective of the participant; and a processor programmed to execute the stored logic.
