dcterms.abstractThe metaverse, a virtual reality-based platform, offers unique opportunities for immersive and interactive therapeutic sessions. With the ability to remain anonymous, it enables a greater sense of openness and honesty during their therapeutic sessions. However, the impact of anonymity on patient's intention to use the metaverse for therapeutic purposes remains unclear. Thus, we conducted a quantitative study encompassing a sample of 147 participants to investigate the relationship between anonymity and the intention to use the metaverse for therapeutic sessions. The results provide insights into how anonymity influences users' attitudes and motivations regarding the use of the metaverse for therapeutic purposes. Understanding the role of anonymity may contribute to the design and implementation of more effective therapeutic interventions in the metaverse.
