Abstract = {Effective self-reflection is crucial for motor skill acquisition, yet it is challenging to facilitate in single-user VR training environments. We investigate this through a method where users are embodied as a virtual trainer and prompted to actively evaluate a recorded performance. In an empirical study, we systematically varied the trainee’s appearance and their movements. Our mixed-methods analysis reveals that confronting one’s own performance triggers a fundamental role conflict between the user’s identity as the performer and their new role as the evaluator. Most importantly, this conflict challenges a binary view of embodiment. Participants experienced a multi-faceted sense of self, oscillating between identifying with the trainee and detaching as the trainer. Our work contributes a novel characterization of embodied self-evaluation, revealing a psychological duality at its core and offering clear design implications for VR systems that foster self-insight in training and therapy.}
