The Moral Risk of the"Identity Tourism"in Virtual Worlds and Its Prevention Approach
"Identity tourism"is the phenomenon of identity playing that occurs in the virtual worlds.It has the fea-tures of theatricality,gameplay,security and the ability to transform oneself.As"potentiality-for-Being",the users"project"the possibility of the existence of the virtual self by freely playing a virtual identity,then penetrate into the real world and reshape the existential modality of the real self,which is the realization process of the func-tion of self-transformation.But this is also likely to induce the moral risk of"dissociative disorder"whose nature is"self-dissociation"(which means the identity consistency between the virtual self and the real self is disrup-ted).The inducement mechanism of self-dissociation can be divided into three stages:"en-roling",dissociative experience and dissociative disorder.In order to avoid this moral risk,"de-roling"is proposed as the prevention approach.Because it has the effect of"debriefing",de-roling is highly likely to restore the relationship between the virtual self and the real self that is disrupted previously.
