Abstract

ABSTRACTObjective This study compared metaverse counseling with in-person counseling, using in-person counseling as a comparison group. To achieve this, we assessed whether metaverse counseling, a novel treatment approach, is comparable to traditional in-person counseling. Method: A total of 60 participants voluntarily participated in the study. Among the participants, 28 preferred in-person counseling, whereas 32 selected metaverse counseling as their preferred treatment option. Results and Conclusion: The findings indicated no statistically significant differences in the psychological symptom change patterns between the two counseling modalities. Both metaverse and in-person counseling demonstrated a common pattern of reduced symptom levels from pre-to post-session (Metaverse counseling Cohen's d = 1.04, In-person counseling Cohen's d = .62), which remained stable from post-session to follow-up regardless of the chosen counseling modality. Furthermore, the study revealed that the metaverse counseling group exhibited a higher level of working alliances than the in-person counseling group. Additionally, there was a slight tendency toward higher levels of counseling satisfaction in the metaverse counseling group than in the in-person counseling group. The results of this study support the use of synchronous metaverse programs to treat college students. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed. (195 words).

比较大学生的咨询结果:元宇宙和面对面的方法。
摘要目的本研究将元宇宙咨询与面对面咨询进行比较,并以面对面咨询为对照组。为了实现这一点,我们评估了元宇宙咨询这一新的治疗方法是否与传统的面对面咨询相媲美。方法:共有60名参与者自愿参与研究。在参与者中,28人更喜欢面对面咨询,而32人选择元宇宙咨询作为他们的首选治疗方案。结果与结论:两种咨询方式的心理症状变化模式无统计学差异。元宇宙和面对面咨询都显示出从治疗前到治疗后症状水平降低的共同模式(元宇宙咨询Cohen’s d = 1.04,当面咨询Cohen’s d = .62),无论所选择的咨询方式如何,从治疗后到随访都保持稳定。此外,研究表明,元宇宙咨询小组比面对面咨询小组表现出更高水平的工作联盟。此外,元宇宙咨询组的咨询满意度略高于面对面咨询组。这项研究的结果支持使用同步元宇宙程序来治疗大学生。讨论了本研究的意义和局限性。(195字)。
