Using a questionnaire adapted from Katy Tcha-Tokey's VR survey and established scales by Sally J. McMillan, Jang-Sun Hwang, and Diener, data was collected from 224 students at Christ University. Participants engaged in a VR meditation session using Meta Quest 2 headsets. Results indicated stronger correlations between immersion and psychological well-being (r = 0.511) and positive thinking (r = 0.485) compared to perceived interactivity (r = 0.319). Regression analyses confirmed immersion's predictive power for psychological well-being (? = 0.511, R2 = 0.261) and perceived interactivity (? = 0.485, R2 = 0.236), with lesser impact on positive thinking (R2 = 0.101). The study suggests that VR immersion notably influences psychological well-being and perceived interactivity among young adults. 2026 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
