What this trial studies
This intervention focuses on improving metacognitive abilities and self-knowledge among young individuals aged 18 to 29. Utilizing immersive training techniques, specifically the EYME platform, the program aims to facilitate personal identity exploration in a safe virtual environment.

Participants will engage in activities designed to promote understanding of their own and others' mental states, which is crucial for healthy interpersonal relationships.

Not a fit: Patients currently diagnosed with a mental disorder or undergoing psychological treatment may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance self-awareness and interpersonal skills in young people, leading to better mental health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While immersive training approaches are gaining traction, this specific application of virtual reality for enhancing metacognitive abilities in young people is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
