First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) sessions to standard counseling helps university students with public speaking anxiety more than counseling alone. About 72 students will be randomly assigned to either counseling only or counseling plus VR exercises that simulate speaking in front of an audience. The goal is to see if VR can make students feel less anxious and more confident when speaking publicly.
