社交虚拟现实(VR)平台越来越受欢迎,许多人转向这些平台体验社交联系,包括在新冠肺炎疫情期间迅速涌入的用户。然而,对于人们如何利用和使用新兴的社交VR应用程序来积极支持他们的心理健康和日常生活福祉,人们的理解有限。通过新冠肺炎大流行期间在社交VR应用VRChat内进行的在线问卷调查和探索性采访,我们记录了社交VR如何被明确用作心理健康支持工具。参与者报告了积极的福祉好处,主要归因于化身提供的匿名性以及在数字世界和实践社区中感受到的安全性。我们还报道了人们如何使用社交虚拟现实来练习社交互动,减少负面想法,并与他人建立牢固的社会纽带和联系。
Social virtual reality (VR) platforms have increased in popularity with many people turning to these platforms to experience social connection, including a rapid influx of users during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is limited understanding of how people appropriate and use emerging social VR applications to actively support their mental health and wellbeing in daily life. Through an online questionnaire and exploratory interviews conducted within the social VR app VRChat during the COVID-19 pandemic, we document how social VR is being used explicitly as a mental health support tool. Participants reported positive wellbeing benefits, mostly attributed to the anonymity provided by avatars and perceived safety within digital worlds and communities of practice. We also report how people use social VR to practice social interaction, reduce negative thoughts and form strong social bonds and connections with others.
