| Abstract: | Objective: The current study explored the effectiveness of dynamic guardianship, especially moving blinds and speaking CCTV in promoting perceptions of safety as well as lowering perceptions of vulnerability. Methods: Virtual reality was used to expose participants to the experimental conditions with moving blinds or speaking CCTV. Participants’ impressions were collected to analyse the impact of the dynamic guardianship strategies. Results: The mere presence of the dynamic guardianship did not significantly increase perceived safety or decrease perceived vulnerability. However, willingness to exhibit dynamic guardianship was found relevant for shaping perceptions of safety. Moreover, the dynamic interventions were effective in lowering perceptions of vulnerability among participants with low willingness. Conclusion: The study highlights the complexity of studying the effectiveness of dynamic guardianship in shaping a sense of safety. However, willingness to exhibit dynamic guardianship played a crucial role for influencing perceptions of safety and vulnerability. Future research should ensure robust implementation of dynamic guardianship manipulations and continue to delve into the complexity of the relationship between dynamic guardians and willingness to exhibit them. |
