"Roles do not merely involve thinking about engaging in such a role, and then enacting the role, in such a strict causal and temporal order. Narrative dramaturgy gave effect to the bi-directionality and shared impact of frontstage and backstage in engaging with roles."

"Participants showed that there was an abiding influence, which we called “visceral lingering”, to their role engagement and the empathy it was intended to impart"

9/10

"Emotion was shown to be a feature of displays of reflexivity. The emotional engagement – turmoil, in some cases – experienced and reported in the RPG, accompanied observations around the weight of [...] encounters and [...] decisions"

8/10

"It was the influence of others in the RPG – that is, sociability itself – that facilitated engagement in collaborative role play."

7/10

[Paraphrasing] ~ The collaborative and dramatic setting triggered engagement in the role. Immersive RPGs help participants connect to the experience on an emotional level that lasts beyond the time frame of the RPG ... ~

6/10

"At one point in time, engaging in the role play experience, the participants reflected on and changed their normal behavior (back stage) to that of the role they are portraying (front stage)"

5/10

"Participants reported that they perceived other participants in the RPG session to be convincingly “in-role”, which, in this interactive environment, in turn influenced them to engage deeply with their roles."

4/10

"Our findings show that embodied immersion into roles involves four particular dimensions: (i) role commitment; (ii) simultaneous evocation of front and back stages;
(iii) reflexivity; and (iv) visceral lingering."

3/10

"When a person enters any social setting, they consciously or unconsciously put into effect information about their roles in that setting as well as information about the roles of others." ~ Attributed to Erving Goffman (1922-1982)

* Not legal advice

It seems, mostly, it can be likened to "privity of contract"… i.e., Akin to ~ If I have a contract with you and a separate contract with a 3rd party… Then, 3p can't use either to sue YOU for breach of contract… Not even if the contracts contemplate / cross-reference contributions under each other.*

To be clear, Magical Industrial Revolution is also (pictured above and) absolutely beautiful and awesome... I just didn't receive it today! :)

"AI Could Have Written This…"

AI shaming includes disparaging someone's work & blaming them for alleged use of AI, with attendant harm to their reputation. The academic paper's author posits anxious workers may level such slurs to maintain solidarity and limit work boundaries.
