Our results suggest that movement dynamics cues did not improve the accuracy of own-perceived body matching, but that confidence about dress fit was higher for dynamic avatars, and that the difference between dynamic and static avatars was dependent on participants’ self-esteem. This perceived body was (1) either static (non-walking avatar) or dynamic (walking avatar), (2) either bigger, smaller, or the same size as participants’ own body size, and (3) fitted with a dress with a size either bigger, smaller, or the same as participants’ own dress size. We asked participants to match their own body with an externally perceived body that was a 3D-generated avatar based on participants’ real bodies, fitted with a computer-generated dress. More specifically, we investigated the effects of body movement dynamics and clothing cues on own-perceived body matching. In the current study, we aimed to examine own-perceived body matching in a context that more closely resembles real life. Thus far, however, own-perceived body matching has been investigated in situations that are incongruent with how we are used to experience and perceive our body in daily life. It does not store any personal data.Own-perceived body matching – the ability to match one’s own body with an observed body – is a difficult task for both general and clinical populations.
